Overview
Dosage and Administration
Bravecto should be administered topically as a single dose every 12 weeks according to the Dosage Schedule below to provide a minimum dose of 18.2 mg/lb (40 mg/kg) body weight.
Bravecto may be administered every 8 weeks in case of potential exposure to Dermacentor variabilis ticks.
Dosage Schedule:
Body Weight Ranges (lb) / Fluralaner content (mg/tube) / Tubes Administered
2.6 - 6.2 112.5 mg One
>6.2 - 13.8 250 mg One
>13.8 - 27.5* 500 mg One
* Cats over 27.5 lb should be administered the appropriate combination of tubes.
Step 1: Immediately before use, open the pouch and remove the tube. Hold the tube at the crimped end with the cap in an upright position (tip up). The cap should be rotated clockwise or counter clockwise one full turn. The cap is designed to stay on the tube for dosing and should not be removed. The tube is open and ready for application when a click is heard or felt. This indicates that the seal is broken and product can be applied to the cat.
Step 2: The cat should be standing or lying with its back horizontal during application. Part the fur at the administration site. Place the tube tip vertically against the skin at the base of the skull of the cat.
Step 3: Squeeze the tube and gently apply the entire contents of Bravecto directly to the skin at the base of the skull of the cat. Avoid applying an excessive amount of solution that could cause some of the solution to run and drip off of the cat. If a second spot is needed to avoid run off, then apply the second spot slightly behind the first spot.
Treatment with Bravecto may begin at any time of the year and can continue year round without interruption.
