Bravecto Topical Solution for Cats

For felines who prefer not to be touched (or for pet parents who have a hard time remembering monthly preventives), our vets recommend Bravecto as the best flea and tick treatment for cats.  

Each dose of this topical medication offers flea and tick protection for up to three months, but it doesn’t provide protection against other parasites, such as heartworms or mites.  

“This long-lasting product helps to prevent flea infestations for up to 12 weeks and is great for hard-to-catch cats who resist medication,” says Dr. Howe. 

If you have a hard time sticking to a medication schedule, Bravecto might be ideal, as consistent, year-round coverage is important. “I recommend it to pet parents who have trouble remembering to give flea medications each month,” adds Dr. Cornett.  

Cats need to be a little older to take this preventive—at least 6 months old and 2.6 pounds or more.
