Description

Bravecto for Cats is a safe and effective topical flea and tick treatment that provides up to 12 weeks of protection. It is indicated for the treatment and prevention of flea infestations (Ctenocephalides felis) and the treatment and control of black-legged tick (Ixodes scapularis) infestations for 12 weeks in cats and kittens 6 months of age and older, and weighing 2.6 lbs or greater. This easy-to-apply formula also treats and controls Dermacentor variabilis (American dog tick) infestations for 8 weeks. With one application, Bravecto for Cats will protect your cat against fleas for three times as long as most leading flea and tick preventatives. This means less of a chance of missing a dose, making it easier to keep your cat protected year-round. One dose effectively breaks the 3-month flea life cycle, from egg to adulthood. Bravecto for Cats requires a prescription from your veterinarian.

Key Benefits

  • Kills 100% of fleas within 8 hours of application
  • Effectively breaks the 3-month flea life cycle
  • Close to a full year of protection with only 4 doses. No more monthly dosing!
  • Fewer doses mean fewer chances to miss a dose decreasing the likelihood of having gaps in protection
  • Easy to apply

Animals Treated

Cats and Kittens (6+ months of age, weighing 2.6+ lbs )

How It Works

Bravecto Topical Solution for Cats contains the active ingredient Fluralaner, which belongs to a class of drugs known as isoxazolines. Fluralaner works by inhibiting the nervous system of fleas and ticks, ultimately leading to their death.

When applied to the skin, Bravecto is absorbed into the bloodstream and distributed throughout the cat's body. When fleas and ticks bite the cat, they ingest the Fluralaner, which disrupts their nervous system and causes paralysis and death.

Bravecto provides long-lasting protection against fleas and ticks, killing them quickly and effectively. It is important to follow the veterinarian's instructions for application and dosage to ensure the best results.

Indications

Bravecto Topical Solution for Cats is indicated for the treatment and prevention of flea and tick infestations in cats. It is approved for use in cats 6 months of age and older, weighing 2.6 lbs or more.

The topical solution is applied to the skin on the back of the cat's neck and provides up to 12 weeks of protection against fleas and ticks. It is important to follow the veterinarian's instructions for application and dosage to ensure the best results.

The cap should be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise one full turn. The cap is designed to stay on the tube for dosing and should not be removed. The tube is openand ready for application when a "click" is heard or felt. This indicates that the seal is broken and product can beapplied to the cat.
  2. The cat should be standing or lying with its back horizontol duringapplication. Part the fur at the administration site. Place the tube tip vertically against the skin at the base of theskull of the cat.
  3. Squeeze the tube and gently apply the entire contents of Bravectodirectly to the skin at the base of the skull of the cat. Avoid applying an excessive amount of solution that couldcause some of the solution to run and drip off the cat. If a second spot is needed to avoid run off, then apply thesecond spot slightly behind the first spot.
  4. Treatment with Bravecto may begin at any time of the year and can continue year round without interruption.

The potential risks ticks pose to pets can be stressful to pet owners wanting to ensure their pet receives effective coverage. Bravecto kills 4 different species of ticks commonly found on dogs and 2 species found on cats to protect your pet for 12 weeks.*5-7

Adverse Reactions:

In a well-controlled U.S. field study, which included a total of 161 households and 311 treated cats (224 with fluralaner and 87 with a topical active control), there were no serious adverse reactions.

Percentage of Cats with Adverse Reactions (AR) in the Field Study

Adverse Reaction (AR) Bravecto Group: Percent of Cats with the AR During the 105-Day Study (n=224 cats) Control Group: Percent of Cats with the AR During the 84-Day Study (n=87 cats)

In the field study, two cats treated with fluralaner topical solution experienced ataxia. One cat became ataxic with a right head tilt 34 days after the first dose. The cat improved within one week of starting antibiotics. The ataxia and right head tilt, along with lateral recumbency, reoccurred 82 days after administration of the first dose. The cat recovered with antibiotics and was redosed with fluralaner topical solution 92 days after administration of the first dose, with no further abnormalities during the study. A second cat became ataxic 15 days after receiving its first dose and recovered the next day. The cat was redosed with fluralaner topical solution 82 days after administration of the first dose, with no further abnormalities during the study.

Mode of Action:

Fluralaner is for systemic use and belongs to the class of isoxazoline-substituted benzamide derivatives. Fluralaner is an inhibitor of the arthropod nervous system. The mode of action of fluralaner is the antagonism of the ligand-gated chloride channels (gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-receptor and glutamate-receptor).

Effectiveness:

In a well-controlled European laboratory study, Bravecto killed 100% of fleas 8 hours after treatment and reduced the number of live fleas on cats by > 98% within 12 hours after treatment or post-infestation for 12 weeks. In well-controlled laboratory studies, Bravecto demonstrated > 94% effectiveness against Ixodes scapularis 48 hours post- infestation for 12 weeks. Bravecto demonstrated > 98% effectiveness against Dermacentor variabilis 48 hours post-infestation for 8 weeks, but failed to demonstrate ≥ 90% effectiveness beyond 8 weeks.

In a well-controlled U.S. field study, a single dose of Bravecto reduced fleas by ≥99% for 12 weeks. Cats with signs of flea allergy dermatitis showed improvement in erythema, alopecia, papules, scales, crusts, and excoriation as a direct result of eliminating flea infestations.

Animal Safety:

Margin of Safety Study: In a margin of safety study, Bravecto was administered topically to 11- to 13-week (mean age 12 weeks)-old-kittens at 1, 3, and 5X the maximum labeled dose of 93 mg/kg at three, 8-week intervals (8 cats per group). The cats in the control group (0X) were treated with mineral oil.

There were no clinically-relevant, treatment-related effects on physical examination, body weights, food consumption, clinical pathology (hematology, clinical chemistries, coagulation tests, and urinalysis), gross pathology, histopathology, or organ weights. Cosmetic changes at the application site included matting/clumping/spiking of hair, wetness, or a greasy appearance.

Oral Safety Study: In a safety study, one dose of Bravecto topical solution was administered orally to 6 - to 7-month-old- kittens at 1X the maximum labeled dose of 93 mg/kg. The kittens in the control group (0X) were administered saline orally. There were no clinically-relevant, treatment-related effects on physical examination, body weights, food consumption, clinical pathology (hematology, clinical chemistries, coagulation tests, and urinalysis), gross pathology, histopathology, or organ weights. All treated kittens experienced salivation and four of six experienced coughing immediately after administration. One treated kitten experienced vomiting 2 hours after administration.

There are no problems reported in field trials in dogs and cats that received Bravecto alongside other commonly used medicines.1-3, 12 However, your veterinarian is your pet's healthcare expert, so it is always best to discuss all of your pet's treatments with them, whether prescription or over-the-counter supplements.

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 in your house. 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 1 apartment to the next. And, certain ticks can survive indoors throughout their lifecycle, so they can come in with you from outside and eventually attach to your pet.10

Not at this time.
Apply the dose to 1 spot on the skin on the back of the neck (push back fur if necessary). This will provide full-body protection for 12 weeks.*3 See product insert for complete application instructions.

Some 3 years ago my 2 indoor/outdoor cats had a few fleas and ticks. Sought advice from my vet on a good product and have been using Bravecto ever since and not found a single flea or tick - despite the fact both cats love being outdoors and especially in the woods outside my home! Two happy kitties! Easy to apply and as it lasts 12 weeks, very low maintenance. And Entirelypets pharmacy offer it at a good price, especially with the reduced price for a pack of 4 and regular promo codes. Very happy with the product, price and service. Thank you.

June 16, 2020
I’ve been using Bravecto on my cat now for about 2 years. I’ve used Frontline and Advantage products prior to this and they both failed to work over time. Was told by a vet that my cat probably developed a tolerance to these products and that’s why they no longer worked. He has a bad flea bite allergy and his rash is minimal on Bravecto Entirely pets pharmacy is the BEST price anywhere I’ve seen. Thank you.

Bravecto for cats 13.8-27.5 lbs
April 30, 2020
I have 2 cats and 1 dog and they are all indoor/outdoor. This stuff works pretty well. Very small tube so I need to be careful to make sure I get it right down to the skin after parting their fur. I've found if I get a little sloppy with it and don't get it directly in the spot it doesn't last for the full 3 months. Otherwise, it works great and Entirely Pets has the best price around and I do check other sites for sales and discounts but so far Entirely Pets has always had the best price. I recommend this product.
Pros
  • Effective!
Cons
  • Very tiny tube of a concentrated product. Don't spill a drop!

I have used a few prescription flea and tick meds...none have worked as well as Bravecto! My 2 cats love to go behind our fence in the little mini forest behind our house in our neighborhood. It’s full of ticks & I am highly allergic to tick bites. I have always found the small deer ticks all over the cats coming back into the yard before Bravecto. Now that we have been using this fir our cats, I don’t see any tick on them when they come back! It's s a miracle! This will be the third year we use a Bravecto & I will never use anything else!

I am very happy with this product. My vet prescribed it for my cat after he still had a bad flea infection even while I was using Advantage II every month with no effects. After one time using Bravecto, though, the fleas were gone! Also it's really nice how it only has to be applied every 3 months instead of monthly. And this website had the best price I could find. Will keep buying this for my cat.

Bravecto is the only flea control that has worked on my cat! All of the other flea controls wouldn't keep the fleas from jumping onto my cat and leaving their saliva. They wouldn't bite her, but the saliva from the fleas gives her severe dermatitis and she becomes very itchy and scabs would appear. For the last 4 months I have been using Bravecto and my cat has NOT gotten "itchy", nor has she gotten one single scab from her scratching at herself! She always looked so miserable and now she looks so much more at peace. I also love the fact that one tube lasts for 3 MONTHS! That makes it very convenient and less stressful! Thank you Bravecto for helping my cat get better and keep the fleas AWAY! I am now a permanent customer!
Pros
  • Lasts for 3 months
  • Keeps the fleas away better than any other flea
  • control I have used in the last 14 years
  • Easy to use

We bought this product for our other two cats directly from our vet and it works great for us. So when we got a new cat, we wanted her on the same. I found the same product here at a significantly lower price. Mailing in the prescription was easy and the product was shipped to us very quickly. We will definitely be coming back to order more when my other cats need a refill.

I cannot believe how quickly this worked & how effectively. I joke that it was like Jesus Himself waved His hands over these cats & the fleas were gone. I'm happy. My cats are happy. And I saved approximately $20 per tube by not purchasing at my Vets office. That's a big savings when purchasing for 5 cats.

We've been fighting a losing battle with fleas for months. My Vet recommended Bravecto & we received the order yesterday. Applied the topical solution at 7pm last night. Just combed out 4 cats & not one flea was found on any of the four. I'm so thankful for this product. Completely worth the price. I paid $44.99 per tube here instead of $64 at the Vet's office. Now we'll try the Bravecto chews for dogs.
