Fleas and ticks are crazy parasites that make our cats insane with all that scratching and itching that happens as a result of their bites. Not to mention, the diseases they transfer while taking a blood meal from our poor cat. Though cats comparatively have a stronger immunity, this flea and tick problem is just as common and debilitating in cats as it is in dogs. This makes it all the more important for cat owners to resort to a solution that is stronger and worthwhile. Bravecto spot-on for cats by MSD Animal Health is one such brilliant invention that gives complete and long-lasting protection against fleas and ticks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) How Does Bravecto Works?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bravecto<\/a> is a commercial name for Fluralaner<\/em> which is a highly effective insecticide and acaricide. As the solution is applied at specific spots on the cat\u2019s skin, the chemical distributes itself into the skin layers of the body. So, when a flea or a tick latches onto the kitty, fluralaner ingested while they feed on the cat attacks the central nervous system of the parasites. This chemical leads to hyperactivity in fleas and ticks, eventually rendering them dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) For How Long Does It Work?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bravecto spot-on for cats<\/a> is a long-lasting formula that kills adult fleas, flea larvae and ticks within 12 hours and grants full-protection until 3 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) What All Tick Species Does Bravecto Spot-On Kills?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It kills paralysis ticks as well as brown legged ticks and prevents the recurrence of infestation. The formula also controls flea allergy dermatitis in cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
