Bravecto Topical for Cats
Bravecto Topical for Cats is a long-lasting flea and tick treatment designed to provide powerful protection with fewer applications. With just one dose, it protects your cat for up to 12 weeks, nearly three times longer than many monthly treatments. This topical solution contains fluralaner and comes with a convenient Twist’n’Use applicator for easy application. Bravecto kills adult fleas, helps prevent flea infestations, and kills and controls ticks, including black-legged ticks and Asian longhorned ticks, for up to 12 weeks. It also kills American dog ticks for up to 8 weeks. Suitable for cats and kittens 6 months of age and older, weighing at least 2.6 lbs.
How it helps
Bravecto (fluralaner) for Cats begins killing adult fleas within hours after application and controlling tick infestations before they can cause discomfort or health issues. By providing extended protection, it reduces the number of treatments needed throughout the year while helping keep your cat safe from parasites that may cause irritation and disease.

- Hold the tube at the crimped end with the cap in an upright position (tip facing up).
- Rotate the cap clockwise or counterclockwise one full turn to break the seal.

- Ensure your cat is standing or lying with its back horizontal during application.
- Part the fur at the application site until the skin is visible.
- Place the tip of the tube vertically against the skin at the base of the skull.
- Squeeze the tube and gently apply the entire contents directly onto the skin.
