Bravecto Spot-On is a highly effective systemic insecticide and acaricide designed specifically for cats. It is the primary choice for South African pet owners seeking a “low-stress” solution to parasite control. Unlike traditional monthly treatments, a single dose of Bravecto provides up to 3 months (12 weeks) of continuous protection, effectively breaking the flea life cycle and eliminating the risk of tick-borne diseases.
Key Performance Features
- 12-Week Sustained Efficacy: Provides three months of protection against fleas and ticks, significantly reducing the frequency of treatment and improving compliance.
- Rapid Kill Action: Starts killing fleas within 8 hours and ticks within 12 hours of application, preventing them from laying eggs and infesting your home.
- Broad-Spectrum Parasite Control: Highly effective against the most common South African cat parasites, including the “Cat Flea” (Ctenocephalides felis) and various tick species.
- Ear Mite Treatment: Clinically proven to effectively treat and control ear mite (Otodectes cynotis) infestations with a single application.
Ideal Applications
- Indoor & Outdoor Cats: Essential for all cats to prevent the introduction of fleas into the household and to protect outdoor cats from questing ticks.
- Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD): An ideal foundation for managing cats with flea-bite hypersensitivity, as it maintains a “flea-free” environment for 90 days.
- Multi-Pet Households: Simplifies the parasite management schedule, ensuring all pets remain protected on a synchronized 3-month cycle.
- Skittish or Difficult Cats: The “Twist’n’Use” applicator and long duration make this the preferred choice for cats that are difficult to handle or pill.
Product Benefits
- Advanced “Twist’n’Use” Applicator: Features a non-removable cap that prevents accidental spills and makes application to the base of the skull quick and easy.
- Non-Greasy Formulation: Absorbs quickly into the skin, allowing you to interact with your cat shortly after application without a messy residue.
- High Safety Profile: Safe for use in kittens from 11 weeks of age and weighing at least 1.2kg.
Pro Tip: For the best results, apply the solution directly to the skin at the base of the skull. This specific spot is difficult for the cat to reach and lick during grooming. If you have multiple cats, keep them separated until the application site is dry to prevent them from grooming each other and ingesting the product.
