What is the recommended application method for Bravecto in felines?

Bravecto is specifically designed for use in cats as a topical application. This method allows for the active ingredient to be absorbed through the skin, providing systemic protection against fleas and ticks. The topical formulation is particularly beneficial for felines, as it reduces the stress associated with oral medication, which some cats may resist.

The topical application also ensures that the medication is delivered effectively over a prolonged period, as it is formulated to last for up to 12 weeks in cats. This is important for maintaining ongoing protection without the need for frequent dosing.

Other forms of administration, such as oral tablets or chewables, may not effectively deliver the intended dosage or could lead to issues with compliance, especially for pets that are finicky eaters. Injectables, while effective for some medications, are not a common or recommended method for Bravecto in felines. Therefore, topical application is the preferred and recommended method for administering Bravecto to achieve the best results in feline flea and tick control.
