Revolution for Dogs – Broad-Spectrum Monthly Parasite Control

Revolution for Dogs is a once-monthly topical treatment that delivers broad-spectrum parasite protection in a single, easy application. Formulated with selamectin, a macrocyclic lactone compound, it helps safeguard dogs against both internal and external parasites. Parasites are not just seasonal or outdoor concerns; dogs can be exposed to harmful parasites at any time of the year. Revolution kills adult fleas and prevents flea eggs from hatching for a full month, helping control flea infestations (Ctenocephalides felis). It also prevents heartworm disease caused by Dirofilaria immitis, treats and controls ear mites (Otodectes cynotis), manages sarcoptic mange (Sarcoptes scabiei), and helps control tick infestations caused by American dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis). It is suitable for dogs 6 weeks of age and older.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is Revolution used for?

Revolution (selamectin) is a once-monthly topical medication that helps protect dogs and cats from heartworm disease, fleas, and ear mites. In dogs, it is also used to treat or prevent tick infestations (including Dermacentor variabilis) and sarcoptic mange (Sarcoptes scabiei). In cats, it additionally treats and controls roundworms (Toxocara cati) and hookworms (Ancylostoma tubaeforme).

2. Are there any side effects associated with Revolution?

The most commonly reported side effects include temporary hair loss at the application site, sometimes with mild redness or flaking. Some pets may also experience mild digestive upset. Contact your veterinarian if you notice unusual or persistent symptoms.

3. How does Revolution protect my pet?

Revolution is applied once monthly at the base of your pet’s neck. After application, it absorbs through the skin into the bloodstream to help prevent heartworm disease. It then redistributes to the skin, where it kills fleas and helps control other parasites. No pills or sprays are required.

Inform your veterinarian if your pet has previously had an allergic reaction to selamectin or any medications. Also discuss any existing health conditions or current treatments.
