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.

Dont recommend
By Ginger on Jan 13, 2022
My cat really hated this! I thought it would be less traumatic for her since it doesnt have to be put on her every month. But after we put it on her, she hid in my house for 2 days. Plus it was really greasy and didn't absorb very well. Her fur was oily and matted for a few days. I couldn't detect any odor but my cat could. As soon as I took it out of the box, she sniffed it and took off. I switched to Revolution Plus and had no problem.

Bravecto for cats
By Tony on Dec 21, 2021
We had a cat flea situation this past summer & our vet recommended Bravecto as it was a 3 month treatment so we said OK, it worked fast within a day our cat stopped scratching, 3 months later we had repeated the treatment with the vet, this time they put the treatment on her head instead of the back of her head like recommended it still worked but after paying $69 each time we decided to do it ourselves as we have done this many times years ago with a monthly treatment on previous cats. So we purchased 2 treatments & plan to buy 2 more in 6 months. We are very pleased with Chewy and their quick service. The FedEx delivery for this order was just thrown on our driveway not placed near our door We had a cat flea situation this past summer & our vet recommended Bravecto as it was a 3 month treatment so we said OK, it worked fast within a day our cat stopped scratching, 3 months later we had repeated the treatment with the vet, this time they put the treatment on her head instead of the back of her head like recommended it still worked but after paying $69 each time we decided to do it ourselves as we have done this many times years ago with a monthly treatment on previous cats.

Best Topical
By Amanda24 on Sep 30, 2021
I used Frontline before and it didn’t do anything. This stuff got rid of ALL the bugs. Ear mites, fleas, ticks, etc. Nice that it lasts for three months. It’s well worth the money (though I had spent as much money on Frontline and it didn’t do anything)

It actually works on TICKS (and fleas)
By jlw276 on Aug 13, 2021
I live in the Northeast where ticks are rampant. Other feline flea treatments (frontline, advantage) do not work to kill/repel ticks, although the canine versions of those products do I believe. I used to see tiny nymph ticks on my cats’ whiskers and faces but not at all since I started using Bravecto. And the fact that it lasts 3 months is a big bonus.

Works well
By Ivylove on Oct 31, 2021
Seems to work a long time. Kind of messy to apply though and makes the cat's neck greasy for a long time.

Nice and all but...
By bugzmalone on Jul 21, 2021
Cutesy size and I love that it carries a wholp in it's coverage of killing power but, yeah, here's the but, it's hard to know when the liquid within the tube is at the ready to squeeze - has it actually been opened and will it release inside the cutesy tube. When I have my cat in primo position I need the meds ready to go! I do not want to second guess. There jolly well might not be another moment for a few hours - if you know what I mean. That's all.
