Revolution works well for us
From undisclosedComments about Revolution (selamectin) for CatsWe have been using Revolution for over 20 years on 3 Bichon's that have lived with us. We chose this product because it is designed to control both fleas and ticks, and heart-worms, and most do not. It is convenient to be able to apply it topically because we've never had a dog that was happy with taking pills. Our dogs have never had any adverse reactions, and have always been free of all of these pests despite the fact that we live in the country in Florida and North Carolina where there is plenty of exposure. So, we stick with what seems to work for us. -
Have Concerns Buying Online Rx? You CAN trust this vendor.
From undisclosedComments about Revolution (selamectin) for CatsAt first I was hesitant buying my furbaby's tick/flea/heartworm prevention Rx online, because it wasn't directly from the vet. The significant price savings was difficult to ignore. In addition, VetRxDirect's professional customer service response eased my qualms quickly. The Revolution was the EXACT same medication with an expiration of 2020. Thank you for helping me protect my furbaby from fleas, ticks, heartworm etc. -

Best flea and tick out there
From undisclosedComments about Revolution (selamectin) for CatsThe best flea and tick we've used for our black lab. We've used pet armour and frontline. Last year was the first summer using revolution and we didn't pick a single flea or tick off of him. We live in an apartment complex and heard that it was a very bad flea and tick season (my husband actually found a few ticks on himself) but none on our dog! Great product -
Great protection
From undisclosedComments about Revolution (selamectin) for CatsFlea, tick, and heart worm protection in one topical. I've never had a problem with this brand. -
Easy Application
From undisclosedComments about Revolution (selamectin) for CatsGreat product. My kitten had no problem with the application. I read comments about the strong chemical smell, but she was not bothered by it at all. It is certainly less expensive than getting it from the Vet. -

I have a 2.3 pound teacup yorkie she is about 7yrs old. I have used revolution before. our vet use to give us some samples but cant get anymore. I don't remember which one we used. What strength? I saw for puppies under 5lbs. but she isn't a puppy. Which one would I need??
-
The dose for Revolution is based on the weight of the pet, rather than their age. Dogs up to 5 pounds will get the 15 mg of selamectin per tube dose. Talk with your veterinarian to determine if Revolution is the appropriate treatment for your pet.

I put revolution on my cat 7 days early by mistake. Will it hurt her??
-
It is recommended to contact your veterinarian if you administer more than the prescribed dose. Safety studies have shown Revolution is safe in cats up to 10 times the recommended dose. If your cat is not experiencing any side effects such as hair loss, vomiting, salivation, or muscle tremors, it is most likely safe to resume your cat's normal dosing regimen.

Does this good for kittens(age 10 month)? Or do you have other product for kittens.?
-
Revolution (selamectin) for Cats is available through VetRxDirect in three different strengths, which depend on the weight of the cat. We offer a 15 mg dose of selamectin, which is indicated for kittens who are at least 8 weeks of age and weigh less than 5 lbs. In addition, we have a 45 mg strength that is indicated for cats weighing 5.1-15 lbs and a 60 mg strength that is indicated for cats weighing 15.1-22 lbs. Speak with your veterinarian to determine which heartworm product would best suit your pet's needs. Thank you, VetRxDirect

Does this work on nasal mites? Is it safe for border collies??
-
Currently, there is no drug approved for the specific indication of nasal mites. However, the use of Revolution has been recommended and is indicated for dogs older than 6 weeks of age. There has been some evidence to suggest potential nerve tissue damage in Collie-type breeds due to a genetic defect when on Revolution. It has been observed that Collies should tolerate the medication at labeled doses, however its use should be used with caution. It would be to your best interest to contact our veterinarian to discuss the benefits of Revolution for your dog. Thank you, VetRxDirect

When I put the revolution on my cat tonight she tried to run, I held her but it ended up more to the side rather than the middle. So she was able to lick her hair a little. Should I be worried? She's fine so far?
-
Revolution contains selamectin, a topical parasiticide, that should be applied at the base of the neck in front of the shoulder blades to avoid ingestion by the pet. According to the manufacturer, accidental ingestion in cats may cause salivation and possible vomiting. If you have concerns about how much product your cat may have consumed we recommend contacting your veterinarian. Thank you, VetRxDirect

how long does it take for revolution to kill fleas after application?
-
According to the package insert, laboratory studies found that greater than 98% of fleas were killed within the first 36 hours. The first application of this product will kill all fleas and eggs on your pet, but there is no information supporting when complete eradication will occur.The fleas on your pet, however, are only a small percentage of the fleas that could be infesting your home. Fleas like to be in dark places, such as carpet fibers, upholstery, bedding, and even behind baseboards. Some household cleaning tips to help get rid of fleas include: vacuum the carpets thoroughly (throw away the bag/empty out vacuum after each use as flea eggs can hatch within them); sweep and mop hardwood and linoleum flooring; wash your pet's bedding with hot water to kill the flea eggs and larva; and wash your pet's toys. Be sure to keep up this vigorous cleaning regimen until the flea problem is solved. You may consider treating your yard as well if fleas continue to be a persistent problem. Thank you, VetRxDirect
