It also covers black-legged ticks and Asian longhorned ticks for 12 weeks, and American dog ticks for 8 weeks. Designed for cats weighing 6.2 to 13.8 lbs, dosed once every 12 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ2: How does the Blue Box differ from the Green Box?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Blue Box holds 250 mg of fluralaner for medium cats in the 6.2 to 13.8 lb range. The Green Box contains 112.5 mg for smaller cats up to 6.2 lbs. Both provide the same 12-week flea and tick coverage. Always use the tube size that best matches your cat's current body weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ3: How does Bravecto fluralaner spot-on work in medium cats?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fluralaner absorbs through the skin and spreads through the bloodstream after application. When fleas or ticks bite and feed, they take in fluralaner, which shuts down their nervous system and causes rapid paralysis and death. This systemic protection stays active for a full 12 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ4: How quickly does Bravecto topical start killing fleas in medium cats?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bravecto acts fast after application. In controlled laboratory studies, it wiped out 100% of fleas within 8 hours and cut live flea numbers by over 98% within 12 hours.
