Bravecto is generally effective for flea control, but if your cats are still scratching and you see fleas, it’s essential to consider other factors that might be influencing this issue. Don't worry, there are steps you can take.
- Ensure the correct dosage and application method.
- Consider environmental factors that could contribute to reinfestation.
- Check for any potential resistance to the treatment.
While Bravecto typically provides effective flea protection, there can be various reasons for an apparent lack of efficacy. Make sure that the dosage given matches your cats' weight and that it was applied according to the instructions. Fleas can also reside in your home environment, which might require additional treatment to eradicate. In some cases, fleas could develop resistance, or other skin conditions might cause scratching. It's always good to discuss these possibilities with a veterinarian for tailored advice.
