Bravecto Topical Solution for Cats, 6.2-13.8 lbs, (Blue Box)

10 lb. cat became deathly ill for three days.

This usually energetic, prime, healthy fixed male cat wouldn't eat was listless, lifeless, almost to the point of appearing dead. Breathing, he had to be eyedropper fed water, would not wash himself. Even stopped having to use his box. Finally, through coxing, feeding special treats -freshly cooked chicken, turkey, cheese, he began to improve. I have to find a better way to fight m and ticks. I can't put this on him again. By the way, he's still itching, but has recovered his reaction to Bravecto.

I have used Bravecto Topical Solution for years on "Socks" I had always used the purple box but my little friend has lost weight so I had to order the Blue box this time. The results for using Braveto has always worked for us so I am pretty confident. Chewy always gets my orders to me right away and I have never had any problems with anything. I would recommend Chewy to anyone.

Bravecto

I have found Bravecto as being the best for keeping fleas and ticks off my pets. Insects will not even go on them with Bravecto, as where the other products I have used still seem to attract the insects but then they die eventually. With Bravecto they don't even go on them.

Overpriced

Was going to order from Chewy but they are more expensive than the vet. After reading the reviews, definitely not getting Bravecto again. My 12 yr old cat has several bald spots (one that is big on his side) after using this.

Excellent Flea Prevention, Weird Oily Spot on Fur

My cat once had such a bad case of fleas that I was combing 20-30 off him a night, and they started to get on me as well. I used Bravecto and no more fleas, anywhere! Now I use it on him at the start of every summer when he will get to spend a bit of time outdoors on the harness, and before any stay with the cat sitters. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because it leaves an oily patch on his fur that does not go away for a super long time. If I ruffle/massage his fur in that spot 2-4 times a day after the day I applied the medication, it will be gone by the end of the week. If I don't do anything it will just stay there. This may not be the case for every cat's fur, but it is super weird and kind of annoying to try to get rid of because I don't like touching this toxic medication and washing my hands many times before it disappears.

I don't feel it's worth the money

Since applying this solution to my cats I haven't seen any ticks thankfully but now one of them has ear mites, and they both have had some side effects like dry mouth, licking the air, hot ears, and obvious overall discomfort at times. I feel like my cat shouldn't have suddenly gotten ear mites if this truly worked, and it should have completely eradicated all bugs, but it hasn't.

So far so good

I used another flea medication from Cheney for at least a year. Then my cat, Luna, lost hair at the application area. I decided to try Bravecto. So far, 2 weeks in, no adverse effects. Fingers crossed!

Break thru meds

I live in the PNW surrounded by fir trees and millions of squirrels. Squirrels bring fleas. Frontline & all the other OTC options quit working. One of my 3 cats has an allergic reaction to the flea saliva & it was causing him to neurotically lick & bite his arm when we pet his back. His vet suggested Bravecto. I was not keen on forking so much money at once for all 3 cats hoping this might work BUT it did. He’s so happy and chill again. And it does last nearly 3 months, so while it’s not fun to pay it all at once, rest assured it does work and will be worth it. I’ll cut and paste this on both weight versions I bought, but I’m not a bot or paid. This is real experience.

Beware of balding in application area.

I also was enticed by the 12-week time period. Once applied it does stay oily for several days, which wasn't that big of a deal. But now my cat does have a bald spot at the application spot. She doesn't seem bothered by it, but I will not use this again. On the pro side ... I haven't seen any fleas or tic on her.

Hair loss- DO NOT use

My vet recommended I use this for my 10yr old indoor cat to prevent fleas. Three days after applying I noticed a huge bald spot on the application site. Never ever using again! Read the other side effects, praying she doesn’t get any other adverse reactions from it.
