FAQ
How is Bravecto different from other chewable or topical flea and tick treatments?
Bravecto is the only flea and tick treatment to last 12 weeks* with one convenient chew or topical dose. That means nearly 3X longer lasting protection than common monthly treatments. The long-lasting efficacy breaks the flea life cycle and drives fleas into extinction with one dose. And, Bravecto kills ticks faster, killing 100% of attached ticks in 12 hours – whereas other treatments can take over 48 hours.
Why should I treat my cat for fleas and ticks if it never goes outside?
Your cat doesn't need to go outside to be at risk for fleas and ticks. Cats can be exposed to fleas and ticks from dogs within the household. However, even cats without dog siblings can be at risk. You can carry fleas inside on your clothes and shoes – and the larvae and pupae can hide within your home for weeks before hopping on your cat. If you live in an apartment complex, fleas can move from one apartment to the next. And, certain ticks are now known to survive indoors throughout their lifecycles, so they can come in with you from outside, and hang around to attach to your pet.
How does Bravecto kill fleas and ticks
After you give your pet Bravecto, it quickly reaches tissue fluids just under your dog's or cat's skin. When fleas and ticks feed, they ingest Bravecto and die. Bravecto Topical Solution for Cats kills 100% of fleas within 8 hours. Apply Bravecto Topical Solution for Cats to the base of the skull for full-body protection for 12 weeks. Bravecto Topical Solution for Cats kills fleas, prevents flea infestations, and kills ticks (black-legged tick) for 12 weeks. Bravecto Topical Solution for Cats also kills American dog ticks for 8 weeks.
My dog is taking some medications for another condition as well right now. Is it safe to give him/her Bravecto?
There are no problems reported in field trials in dogs and cats that received Bravecto alongside other commonly used medicines. However, your veterinarian is your pet's health care expert, so it is always best to discuss all of your pet's treatments with them, whether prescription or over-the-counter supplements.
Will Bravecto kill ticks and fleas that are already on my dog or cat?
Yes.
Is there a Bravecto Chew for Cats?
Not at this time.
How do I apply the Bravecto Topical to my cat?
Apply the dose to one spot on the skin on the back of the neck (push back fur if necessary). This will provide full body protection for 12 weeks.
Is Bravecto recommended by veterinarians?
Yes. Bravecto Chew for Dogs is vet recommended for puppies and dogs 6 months of age or older who weigh at least 4.4. lbs and Bravecto Topical for Cats is vet recommended for kittens and cats 6 months of age or older who weigh at least 2.6 lbs.

Bravecto meds
The meds were just what our cats needed and delivered quickly.
Bravecto parasite control.
This product works very well keeping parasites from getting onto our kitties. We have used it many times and never had any complications, only good results. Always use the proper dosage for the size of your pet.
The best I’ve tried
I love Bravecto ! I’ve tried everything and other things work well too but I really like that you don’t have to dose your cat so often. I only use Bravecto. It works and it’s easy.
Great Product
Love the way it controls fleas and especially love not having to administer as often to a difficult kitty.
Convenient
Only 4 times per year is nice instead of the monthly application
just an fyi on this medication
For those of you who are worried about the small fleas, if you have a cat with a heavy fur coat, it is ideal to flea comb first to find what you can, than apply the medication, that way it can penetrate the fur easier and get down to the little fleas. It is the best Flea and Tick medicine on the market, way better than Frontline. Again, just go through the coat first, the hardest ones to get are on the stomach and tail, so I usually have my son hold my big boy and get the ones off the belly and than the tail.
Flea treatment
Works great for our 2 cats! We did have a small issue with fleas, didn’t realize it, but our veterinarian suggested Bravetco even for my indoor cat. Works like a charm
Worse Flea Medicine
This is the worse flea medicine I have ever given my cat. It does kill adult fleas, but it doesn't kill the tiny ones you can hardly see and my cat is still pulling his hair out and scratching all the time. It has been 5 days since I put Bravecto on him and I purchased the purple box which was the correct dosage for his weight. Now, I put a flea collar on him and he has calmed down and is not pulling his hair out. I would not advise anyone to buy this product and they should pull it from the shelves.
The Doctor ordered it
I have used other flea products, many just made my cat mad, but nothing worked as well as Bravecto. It is easy to apply and lasts for 3 months.
Great for fleas!
We had the hardest time trying to get rid of the fleas from my daughter's cat. We had tried other topical solutions, but none of them worked. The Bravecto did the trick! No more fleas! Highly recommend it!
