Bravecto PLUS Flea,Tick and worm
1hr post application my cat began foaming at the mouth and vomiting. Has not stopped. Vet states he may have ‘licked’ some.
I have poisoned my beloved cat and the vet felt it was safe to sell because it’s ‘approved by Australian Standards’.
May need revising.
This is TOXIC
Any product that causes such a reaction CANNOT be good.

I did all 5 of my cats and all had vomiting panting not eating and drinking heaps of water

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 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 b...Read more
ack 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.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Severe Side Effects
Day 1 after application of Bravest Plus.
Chunks of hair loss, and red raw skins at the application site.
Now we have the added worry of further risk to the cats health.
We also have the added costs of a trip to the Vet and treatment.
Cat has never had a reaction to any of the other treatments used over the years!

Bald Spots Do Not Use This On Your Pet
We've always had cats in the family, none of them have ever had any problem with a spot-on treatment until I switched to Bravecto last month for my 12 year old cat. He developed two bald spots, one on his upper foreleg & one with on the back of the neck where the Bravecto was applied within a couple of days. I repeat, I have never seen this reaction in any of our family cats until we switched to this brand. It's nor approved by the FDA for good reason.

Not sure what to use now!
I had the same reaction with my cat Sam using Advantage. $170.00 later in vet fees, still has 2 sores on his neck and his hair has fallen out. She suggested to me to use bravecto plus as it was a far better product. Reading the reviews, I am at a loss as what to use next time, when his neck has cleared up, as it has been like this for a month! Has anyone used another product with success? I would have to give it a five minus. His personality has changed and went off his food.
Very concerning!!!!

caused a large patch of hair loss
I will never use Bravecto again. First time applying and within one day there was a large bald spot at the location the medicine was applied and the hair is still falling out. I am praying that sores do not appear like many are reporting.

My poor Kitty
After applying Bravecto my cat just wasn't his active self, he seemed very tired.
4 days later he got a bad open sore where the product was applied (he can not reach this spot to lick or scratch. The next day he had one of the sores on top of his head and on the side of his face and the original one was oozing. This morning we took him back to the vet because there were more sores on his face head and neck. The cat was give a steroid shot and an antibiotic shot and I was given topical was pads to use on him.
This is the first time I have used this on my cat (and yes I got it from the vet) and it will be the last. I hope he will not get worse....DONT USE, PLEASE!!!

Do Not Use This On Your Cats
I took my 2 cats in to see their feline vet about 2 months ago. Both of my cats became sick. Extreme lethargy, wouldn't eat for 3 days, throwing up. I almost took one of my cats to the emergency vet because I did not know if she would make it through the night. Now my male is acting like he has lost his hearing. I wonder if Bravecto could be the cause

Not going to use again on my cat
I gave my cat his first and only dose 1 month ago. He has loss of appetite, hair falling out aggressively, seems more tired and less playful, and has been vomiting occasionally. I think the vomiting is from grooming and the increasing hair loss. This product killed all his fleas and ticks for sure but I don't think it's worth all the other side effects he is having. I won't be buying it again.

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 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 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.

Bald and bleeding
The first time I used this it was great - no side effects and really worked. We reapplied it 3 months later but this time our poor cat was left with a bald patch where is was applied which developed into bloody sores. Obviously a chemical burn and I’m not sure if the fur will ever grow back
Poorly designed tube as it ends up all over your hands and only comes off with nail polish remover.
Not going to use again- clearly a horrendous pesticide.

It works, but...
I have two cats, a black and white. This stuff works, but my white cat now a bald patch where the product touched him, and over a week later sores started forming on that spot (it’s not from grooming, he can’t reach it). Doesn’t appear to be distressed by it, I’m cleaning it daily to prevent an infection and he doesn’t mind, but what on earth is in a product that causes such a horrible reaction- No chance it can be an allergy, they’re usually systemic, where this is localized only to where it touched him. In essence, he has a chemical burn.

The worst
Horrible. Immediately sick, with in minutes she was vomiting. Got some on my finger nail and it took my nail polish off. DO NOT USE. I hope she recovers because she’s still vomiting several hours later.

Extremely Disappointed.
When you twist the lid...expecting it to come off so you can do the treatment, it doesn't come off. I called my vet to ask if it was a faulty batch. Apparently the twist lid doesn't come off but rather creates a small hole somewhere in the lid (which explains why it went all over my fingers when I was trying to get the lid off. My vet was of little help and refused to refund me. I paid $69.60 for a product that went all over me and none on my cat - and just after xmas, which is not the best time of the year to throw away money.

Death
My 9 year old, healthy cat died this morning (1/27/19) after receiving Bravecto 24 hours ago on (1/26/19.) I took her to the vet for a wellness check, and to have a sebaceous cyst removed from the top of her head. The vet said she was very healthy after examining her. She was then given her annual rabies vaccine. Bravecto was administered for her first time. I took her home. She was fine all day, maybe a little lethargic. She woke me up this morning around 6:30 a.m. crying under my bed. She was drooling and panting. I took her to the emergency ...Read more
vet, who said she was in shock. We tried to give her fluids, steroids and epinephrine through an IV that was started. She stopped breathing and was intubated. Her heart stopped around 9:00 a.m. Almost exactly 24 hours after she received this new flea treatment called Bravecto. She was an extremely healthy, active cat.Similar opinion?

Toxic - made my cat permanently sick
One day after Bravecto treatment, my cat started vomiting, breathing faster, drinking a lot more water and having major hot spots. Vet told me not to worry unless the vomiting got worse then I should go to emergency. I scrubbed off all remaining Bravecto and shaved her hair in that spot.
It's been one year, and the hair has never grown back! Not even a little bit!
And the vomiting never reached emergency level, but she vomits anywhere from 1-5x/month. Before Bravecto, she NEVER vomited!
Tests indicate her T4 (thyroid) levels are suspicious and hyperthyroid would explain all her symptoms. A lot of pain and suffering for the past 13 months ever since that Bravecto treatment. I majorly, majorly regret it.

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.

Questions & Answers
Estelle R.asked
I applied topical bravecto on my 15 month cat this morning. She was okay the whole day but started to vomit this evening. Now she is just sleepy. Do I need to worry? What home remedy can I give her, or should I wait till tomorrow? Hope you can assist please. Thanks.

Smitoasked
I applied bravecto to my cats about 4 weeks ago. They spend a lot of time outside. I have just spotted a flea on one of them. Can they still pick fleas up being outside and then the fleas die or can they live on them?
1 answer
I'm sorry, Smito, I can't provide an answer to that one. I'm a bit concerned about my own cat, because he is scratching frantically (although I've not spotted a flea yet). Possibly it might be an idea to try another brand of flea-repellent to see whether that does the trick better.
Caroline R.asked
I have applied Bravecto incorrectly. My cat has licked the site of application. Will this harm my cat?
