Bravecto

Bravecto Parasite Protection for Dogs and Cats

Bravecto offers long-lasting parasite protection for dogs and cats, with formulations developed for different species, body weights and treatment needs.

Depending on the selected product, Bravecto may protect against fleas and paralysis ticks while also treating or controlling selected ticks, mites, mange or worms. Coverage and treatment duration vary, so always read the individual product information and label carefully.

Bravecto for Dogs

Bravecto dog treatments are available as chewable tablets and topical spot-on applications. The right option will depend on your dog’s weight, age, treatment requirements and preferred administration method.

Every dog product is supplied in a specific weight range. Weigh your dog accurately before purchasing and never divide a larger-dose treatment between smaller dogs.

Bravecto for Cats

Bravecto cat treatments are applied topically and are available for different cat weight ranges. Standard Bravecto and Bravecto Plus have different parasite coverage and treatment schedules.

Bravecto Plus provides broader parasite coverage than standard Bravecto cat treatment, but owners should check the label to confirm which fleas, ticks, worms and mites are covered.

Dog and cat formulations are not interchangeable.

Choosing the Correct Bravecto Treatment

Before selecting a treatment, confirm:

• Whether it is made for dogs or cats
• Your pet’s current body weight
• The minimum age and weight requirements
• Which parasites the product covers
• Whether it is chewable or topical
• How often it must be administered
• Whether your pet uses other parasite treatments or medication

Speak with your veterinarian if you are uncertain which parasite protection program is appropriate.

Tick Protection and Daily Checks

No tick treatment can completely eliminate the risk of tick attachment or tick paralysis. Check your pet daily during tick season, paying close attention around the head, neck, ears, lips, under the collar, between the toes and along the body.

Seek urgent veterinary attention if your pet shows signs such as weakness, difficulty walking, changes to their bark or meow, vomiting, gagging or breathing difficulties.

Frequently Asked Questions

What parasites does Bravecto treat?

Coverage varies between products. Depending on the formulation, Bravecto may cover fleas, paralysis ticks, selected other ticks, mites, mange, heartworm or intestinal worms. Check the individual label before use.

What is the difference between Bravecto and Bravecto Plus for cats?

Bravecto Plus provides broader parasite coverage than standard Bravecto for cats. Treatment frequency and parasite coverage differ, so compare the labels carefully.

How long does Bravecto protection last?

Protection periods vary between chewable tablets, dog spot-on, cat spot-on and Bravecto Plus. Follow the schedule printed on the selected product rather than assuming every Bravecto treatment lasts the same length of time.

How do I choose the correct Bravecto size?

Weigh your pet and select the product matching their species and current weight range. Ask your veterinarian for advice if your pet is close to a weight boundary.

Can Bravecto be used on puppies or kittens?

Minimum age and weight requirements differ between products. Check the label carefully and do not use a treatment on a younger or lighter pet than specified.

Can I use a dog Bravecto product on my cat?

No. Only use a Bravecto product labelled for your pet’s species. Dog and cat parasite treatments must not be used interchangeably.

Do I still need to check my pet for ticks?

Yes. Tick protection should be combined with regular physical checks, particularly during periods of high tick activity. Promptly remove any ticks found and seek veterinary advice if your pet appears unwell.

Should I consult my veterinarian before using Bravecto?

Seek veterinary advice if your pet is unwell, pregnant, breeding, taking medication, has experienced a previous reaction or has an existing medical condition.
