Key Benefits of Bravecto Plus for Cats
One dose, three months of protection
Most cat flea treatments need monthly application — Bravecto Plus cuts that down to just four treatments a year. One spot-on dose delivers 12 weeks of continuous flea and tick protection, meaning fewer missed doses and more consistent coverage for your cat.
Fleas, ticks, worms and ear mites — all covered
Bravecto Plus doesn’t just target fleas. A single application also treats roundworms, hookworms, and ear mites, and helps prevent heartworm disease. For most NZ cats, this means no separate worming tablets or ear mite treatments needed — it’s all handled in one go.
Works fast — fleas gone within 12 hours
Fluralaner starts killing fleas within 12 hours of application and ticks within 48 hours. Unlike some treatments that take a day or two to kick in, Bravecto Plus gets to work fast — important if your cat is already dealing with an active flea problem.
No prescription needed — available over the counter
Bravecto Plus for Cats is available over the counter in New Zealand, so you don’t need a vet visit just to restock. It’s vet-recommended and widely trusted by NZ vets, but you can order online whenever suits you.
Suited to NZ’s year-round flea season
New Zealand’s mild, humid climate means fleas can be active in every season — not just summer. Bravecto Plus’s 12-week coverage aligns perfectly with a year-round treatment schedule, giving your cat protection through autumn and winter when many owners let it lapse.
Safe from 9 weeks — three weight sizes available
Bravecto Plus is approved for kittens from 9 weeks of age and is available in three weight-specific doses (1.2–2.8kg, 2.8–6.25kg, 6.25–12.5kg). This makes it suitable for cats at any life stage, from small kittens through to large adult cats.
Active Ingredients
Fluralaner (280mg): Targets fleas and ticks by disrupting their nervous system. Starts killing fleas within 12 hours and ticks within 48 hours of application.
Moxidectin (14mg): Targets intestinal worms and helps prevent heartworm disease, providing comprehensive internal parasite protection.

Apply Bravecto Plus directly to the skin at the base of your cat’s neck, where they cannot lick the application site. Use the entire contents of one pipette per treatment, selecting the correct dose based on your cat’s weight.
Steps:
- Part the fur at the base of the neck to expose the skin
- Apply the full contents of the pipette directly onto the skin
- Allow the solution to dry naturally before handling
Bravecto Plus is applied as a single spot-on treatment and is typically reapplied every 3 months for ongoing flea protection, in line with the product label directions.

Q: What parasites does Bravecto Plus for Cats protect against?

Q: How long does one dose of Bravecto Plus last?

Q: Is Bravecto Plus safe for kittens?
A: Bravecto Plus for Cats is approved for use in kittens from 9 weeks of age, provided they weigh at least 1.2 kg. Always choose the correct dose based on your cat’s current weight and follow the label directions carefully.
Q: How do I apply Bravecto Plus to my cat?
A: Bravecto Plus is a topical spot-on treatment applied directly to the skin at the base of your cat’s neck. The application area should be dry, and the product should be placed on the skin rather than the fur to ensure proper absorption.
Q: Can my cat get wet after applying Bravecto Plus?
A: Bravecto Plus is water-resistant once dry. However, it is recommended to avoid bathing your cat or allowing them to get wet for at least 48 hours after application to ensure optimal effectiveness.
Q: Do I still need to worm my cat if I use Bravecto Plus?
A: Bravecto Plus treats roundworms and hookworms but does not protect against tapeworms. Depending on your cat’s lifestyle and exposure risk, an additional tapeworm-specific treatment may still be required. Your veterinarian can advise on an appropriate worming schedule.
Q: Can Bravecto Plus be used with other medications or treatments?
A: Bravecto Plus is designed as an all-in-one parasite treatment, so additional flea or worm products are usually not necessary. If your cat is taking other medications or has an underlying health condition, consult your veterinarian before combining treatments.
