Is Bravecto Plus safe for my cat if they managed to lick a bit off their fur during application?

Yesterday, I applied Bravecto Plus to my cat's fur as recommended, but I noticed that they managed to lick a little bit off afterward. I’m concerned about whether this could be harmful to them or cause any side effects. Is this something I should be worried about, and do I need to take any action right away?

Answer

It's common for pets to lick topical treatments, but a small amount of Bravecto Plus is typically not harmful. Monitoring your cat for any side effects is important.

  • Keep an eye on your cat for any unusual symptoms.
  • Ensure your cat stays away from the treated area until it dries.
  • Contact a professional if any concerning signs appear.

Bravecto Plus is designed to be safe for pets, but if your cat has ingested some, mild symptoms like drooling or licking lips can occur. These usually pass without any serious harm. It's essential to monitor your cat and ensure they can't access the treated spot again. If you're noticing any worrying symptoms such as vomiting, difficulty breathing, or lethargy, it's best to reach out to a veterinarian promptly.
