Bravecto Spot On for Cats Large (6.25 - 12.5kg)

My cat was very ill with worms, this stuff made him better – My big 6 y/o boy was vomiting and lethargic and I treated him with bravecto plus to worm him and within 24 hrs his appetite returned, the vomiting has stopped, he is happy and playful again with his adopted brother, his coat is healthy again though he did experience some discomfort(itching) at the back of his neck and some minor hair loss But, I… Read more

am grateful to say he is now a very happy boy I’m so sorry to hear other people’s sad stories I was shocked when I read these reviews so I had to do my own

Definitely works – I applied thus product to all my cats back in November. No adverse reactions and must work as we just found a dead tick on my daughter bed where our 16 year old cat always sleeps. This happened just two days after the next door neighbors cat had to go to emergency vet for tick treatment. And she only goes outside on a leash.

Awesome – I’m really confused about why there are so many bad reviews. This is awesome for my cat as I am shocking at remembering and it covers paralysis ticks. I think the spot treatment for cats is new. It’s been great and no problems.

Poison – Gave this to my cat thinking I was doing the right thing by keeping him safe from the deadly paralysis tick, turns out I almost killed him using the poison that’s meant to keep him safe. He suffered a neurological event after having this toxin applied. He was rushed to the emergency vet who suggested putting him to sleep. I knew it was the spot on… Read more

that did it. He was nursed back to full health and I’ll no longer fund the big pharma that poison our animals.

Don’t use Bravecto for cats!!! – I’ve used Bravecto many times on my cat without issues. But this time, his skin became raw and bloody and his hair fell out. I called them - they claim the formula has not been changed, but all the pics and complaints online would suggest otherwise. It’s been over a month now and there’s still no new hair coming in. I’ll never use this product again. Show details

Hair Loss and Incessant scratching...like anxiety in a very calm cat!!!!! Awful to watch and lasts – Still reacting 1.5 months after only a 1/2 dose because the stuff is so strong. He is a beautiful Orange Coon Cat with amazing fur, and he is getting bald. This is the second time this happened because my vet, who prescribed Bravecto, said the first time it was caused by anxiety, not the Bravecto. This time I gave him 1/2 a dose just in case,… Read more

and now he won't stop scratching and licking and losing hair. It is terrible to watch. This is dangerous chemicals on an innocent living being.

Hair loss – Hair loss only on the line where I applied the product (base of skull). I Watched YouTube videos from Bravecto how to apply properly because this is my first time using. Hair started falling out a few days afterwards. Where the bald spots are on the skin there are sores and scabbing. I read the leaflet and was surprised that it states that… Read more

less than 2.5% in clinically tested cats had these side effects as the online reviews are suggesting otherwise.

Have thrown out and will not buy again.

Will never recommend to others.

Made my cat seriously ill - awful product – My cat would run while having this put on. A few days later I noticed severe diarrhoea in his litter tray and for about 3-4 weeks he would look really ill. I used this product 3 times on him. First time didn’t realise it was the product, second time I started my suspicions. Third time I was convinced it is the product and not just… Read more

coincidence. I’ve never used it again on my poor baby. Each 3 months he would look very ill and severe diarrhoea for several days. That’s not coincidence.

My healthy 5 yr old cat had it on Sunday and today (Thursday) I fear that he won’t make it – Loss of appetite, lethargic, very sick. Doesn’t want to be touched at all. Not himself. I will never use this again. Vets go this so wrong. Don’t use it please Show details

Caused Balding – My cat immediately started having hair loss the day after applying Bravecto. By day two he had two bald spots and his hair continues to fall out. I wish I had read the reviews prior to using it! Show details

Hopeful but a disappointment! – Sounded to good to be true, 12 weeks! No result in relief of fleas from my big 17lb cat. After three weeks of continuous itching I will seek other medications. Show details

My heart is broken. He's been gone for 9 months – I have talked to many. This bravecto is poison. I will not stop trying to let all of you who love your family. Do not use. look at the rating. Not even a 1 star. We got a powder which is natural and on all our 4 kittys all the ticks and fleas are gone. Its called vets best and they have sprays for lawns. Been using this sense my big boy kitty was killed with bravecto. SO BE AWARE. Braveto is made in China. Show details

Never use again! – My 5yr old cat has sensitive skin and is allergic to flea bites so I use a flea treatment regularly. Used Bravecto for the first time supplied by her vet..never again! She panicked when it was first applied and seemed frightened and in pain for a day, I’ve spotted a burn mark on her neck and I now understand why. Will go back to using Advantage, never been an issue in the past Show details

It was so sticky & horrible a nightmare to wash off the hands too – It was so sticky and horrible Been a week and still on the back of my cats nexts all yucky and horrible A nightmare to wash off the hands too Show details

Horrible, doesn’t work, upsets the cat – My cat has to stay indoors now because she come back with ticks every-time, she hates when we put the stuff on and when we do it doesn’t even work Show details

I beg you - do not use this! – I took my cat to the vet because he had fleas and he was sneezing. Six weeks after using Bravecto, to the day, he was dead. Read the side effects for any medication you give to your pet. Be very sure of the product's safety. Here is a quote from the manufacturer's website: "Fluralaner is a member of the isoxazoline class. This class has been… Read more

associated with neurologic adverse reactions including tremors, ataxia, and seizures." Yes neurological adverse reactions! My cat started, odd repetitive behavior, then mild ticks, then seizures, walking in circles, blindness, the ability to hold his head up, bleeding from his nose, and death. He was a healthy, active, normal six year old cat. Research any and all medications! Know what you're giving your pet!

Buyer beware it may kill your cat – Bravecto Plus was used on my cat. 24 hours later she was vomitting, lathargic, high temp, and had severe toxicity poisoning, which has resulted in a urinary tract infection. Braveto dont care as she is 1 out of 10,000 cases, and it is stated as a known cause. Disgusting Show details

Do Not Use – Applied as directed. Kitty slept for 2 days woke and went to stripping fur. Had bad life threatening seizure. Then did study and found that this was poison. How can trained professional sell this. Save a loved ones life don't purchase. Show details

My beautiful rag doll has licked all of the fur off of his nether regions – Applied liquid onto my 11 year old rag doll cat about 2 months ago, fleas gone but now so is his fur from completely licking it all off. He’s wearing a cone to stop the licking but as soon as it’s off he’s biting and scratching as if the fleas never left. I’ve given him 3 baths and blow drys ( he likes it so it’s not the worst) yet it doesn’t… Read more

stop. My cat is extremely uncomfortable after using this product and I have no idea how to make him stop. He is clearly itchy to the point it’s making him crazy. He’s a very active in your face cat now reduced to this sad animal with a cone on who lays around all day. He’s lost weight and all his joys in life. I have no idea what to do but this garbage is the reason.

Distressing Result – Our cat reacted badly to this product. He was panting, very agitated and running around the house. He was distressed and so were we. He was not badly infested with fleas - used this as a preventative only. After 45 mins he was still panting so we washed as much of the product off him as possible - seemed to help. He had a similar reaction to a… Read more

Capstar table . Previously used fipronil without any adverse effect. Will not be using this product again

Just avoid.. anything requiring engine degreaser to remove cant be good – The seal was broken on the first pack of Bravecto Plus for cats I purchased. As I opened the packaging I split some on my hands. I should have known not to use further on our cat as I needed to use engine degreaser to remove the product from my hands.. Despite this, I obtained a replacement from the store and applied as directed. Cat was vomiting… Read more

for days, lethargic, change in behaviour and had a rash on the skin where applied. This turned into a bloody welt / wound about the size of a 50c piece. He is now left with a bald patch in this spot.. please dont buy this product and dont use on your cat.

Bravecto should be Jailed and sued – My Tabby Ragdoll has severe hair loss along with skin sores, but the worst was his behavior. He was have bad neurologic and/or brain issues. He is really lethargic and slept most of the time. he walked right past a snake near my home and he didn't flinch, which was completely ab-normal for him. He would absolutely lost himself when he saw a snake.… Read more

He also started to be savage and wanted to attack his best mate and myself and anyone who tried to pat him, which never happened, he has always been a happy social cat. my other seal point cat also had skin reactions and hair loss.

Do not use this product It should be banned The company should be sued and/or jailed for animal cruelty

Eumundi Range road VET recommended this product. He said there were no other products for ticks and this is safe to use with no problems!!!

I also found, i could not fill in the store were it was purchased through in the product review

Issues with Bravecto for Cats – I bought my Bravecto Plus for cats some two and a half months ago at our local vets. Product seems to be good as there were no more ticks or fleas but one of my cats started to develop red skin around her eyes and the other to pull his hair out. I was recommended to buy Amacin eye drops for the cat which didn't help and will be returning the next batch of Bravecto I bought. Not a product I can recommend or will use ever again. Show details

Dead cat – My 1 year 3 month old cat passed away 17 hours after he received the 3-monthly flea-prevention medication Bravecto (Fluralaner 500 mg) spot-on solution for large cats (>6.25 - 12.5 kg). He was a pedigree cat and came from a good stock genetically tested for HCM, PKD, SMA, so he had no congenital conditions to predispose him to sudden death. He… Read more

was in excellent health and weighed 7.2 kg. He was a strictly indoor cat and there is no chance that he might have accidentally ingested something toxic.

He was given Bravecto spot on solution on the back of his neck on Sunday afternoon and he seemed fine after that. Monday morning I wake up to find him lifeless - no heartbeat, not breathing, blue lips and cold paws. Rushed him to the emergency vets and they pronounced him dead.

I strongly suspect the cause of death to be a severe adverse reaction to Bravecto. I have now read so many reports of dogs and cats dying because of it or developing severe neurological problems. It it FDA approved and the manufacturer insists that it is found to be “safe” in studies in cats and dogs.. All the vets here in the U.K. continue to prescribe it. I have reported it to the FDA and asked the vets to report it to the manufacturer. But nothing I do now will bring back my beautiful boy.

I’m taking my other two cats off Bravecto and I advise anyone here who uses Bravecto for their cats and dogs to exercise caution.

DO NOT USE BRAVECTO ON YOU CAT.... IT CAN KILL – As previous reviews, I can validate that the use of this POISONOUS product can kill.... have used twice and twice my cat has had bad reactions....hair fell out from contact point creating a bald patch, lethargy, sleeping more than normal, off food.... there should be a class action against the manufacturers as owners have lost their beloved pets… Read more

through this product.... DO NOT USE. If you get in your hands/fingers the product is difficult to remove as it is gluey and tacky.

With the star rating if I could would give it 5 MINUS.... unable not to give it a review.... check with your vet tell him about the reactions cats are getting from this product if they are promoting this product.

Poisonous and dangerous – Immediately lethargic, he has lost weight in a couple of days and has a bald patch which has enlarged daily, near to application, that has developed into a large sore/ lesion. He is normally a vocal happy cat and has just slept and ate little. When we went back to the vet he had a temperature and has had steroid and antibiotics. We have to take… Read more

him back tomorrow but we really regret giving this product. We feel foolish as we just trusted that the vet knew it was a safe product. I would rather have fleas.
