It also tackles black-legged ticks and Asian longhorned ticks for 12 weeks, and American dog ticks for 8 weeks. One tube covers cats weighing between 13.8 and 27.5 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ2: How does the Purple Box differ from the Blue Box for medium cats?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Purple Box holds 500 mg fluralaner, the highest dose across the Bravecto cat range, while the Blue Box for medium cats contains 250 mg. Both deliver the same duration of flea and tick protection. Always match the tube to your cat's current body weight before applying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ3: My large cat weighs more than 27.5 lbs. Can I still use Bravecto?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. Cats above 27.5 pounds can be treated using the right combination of available Bravecto tube sizes to reach the correct total dose, as directed by your vet. Never rely on a single Purple Box tube alone for a cat above that weight. Always confirm the dosing plan with your veterinarian first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ4: How quickly does Bravecto topical start killing fleas on large cats?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bravecto reaches full flea kill effectiveness within 8 hours of being applied. In controlled laboratory studies, live flea counts dropped by over 98% within 12 hours after treatment. This rapid action helps disrupt the flea life cycle very early on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ5: Is Bravecto topical safe for pregnant or breeding large cats?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Safety in pregnant, nursing, or breeding cats has not been formally confirmed through dedicated studies.
