The cap should be rotated clockwise or counter clockwise one full turn. The cap is designed to stay on the tube for dosing and should not be removed. The tube is open and ready for application when the breaking of the seal is felt.
- Step 2: The cat should be standing or lying with its back horizontal during application. Part the fur at the administration site. Place the tube tip vertically against the skin at the base of the skull of the cat.
- Step 3:Squeeze the tube and gently apply the entire contents of Bravecto Plus directly to the skin at the base of the skull of the cat. Avoid applying an excessive amount of solution that could cause some of the solution to run and drip off the cat. If a second spot is needed to avoid run off, then apply the second spot slightly behind the first spot.

What should I discuss with my veterinarian while considering Simparica?
Talk to your veterinarian about heartworm testing that is recommended before starting your pet on a heartworm prevention program. Some intestinal parasites, such as roundworms and hookworms can be spread to people. Talk to your veterinarian about other measures you can take to prevent your pet from becoming infected with intestinal worms, and protecting yourself.
If fleas or ticks are already present, discuss what other control measures should be used. Talk about what flea products to use on any other pets in the household, since all pets should be treated if there is an infestation. Have your veterinarian explain the life cycle of the flea and how that influences the effectiveness of monthly flea products.
What should I do if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose, give it as soon as you remember, then resume giving it every 2months. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to the regular schedule. Do not give 2 doses at once. If you are unsure whether to give a dose, contact your veterinarian.
