Your furry friend must have a current heartworm test result on file with your veterinarian in order to be prescribed heartworm medication. Please visit your veterinarian to have this test performed annually to protect your four-legged friend. Revolution is a medication that is applied directly to your furry friend's skin to protect them from biting critters. When applied every 30 days, Revolution protects against heartworms and fleas. It may also be effective in preventing and treating ear mites, roundworms, and hookworms.
UsesRevolution kills adult fleas and prevents flea eggs from hatching for one month. It is also indicated for the prevention and control of flea infestations, prevention of heartworm disease caused by Dirofilaria immitis, and the treatment and control of ear mite infestations. Revolution is also indicated for the treatment and control of roundworm and intestinal hookworm infections in cats.
Possible Side EffectsSide effects include salivation and intermittent vomiting.
Drug & Food InteractionsTalk to your veterinarian about any other drugs your cat is taking before starting this medication.
Precautions
Prior to administration of Revolution, cats should be tested for existing heartworm infections. At the discretion of the veterinarian, infected cats should be treated to remove adult heartworms. Revolution is not effective against adult D. immitis and, while the number of circulating microfilariae may decrease following treatment, Revolution is not effective for microfilariae clearance. Hypersensitivity reactions have not been observed in cats with patent heartworm infections administered three times the recommended dose of Revolution. Higher doses were not tested. For use in animals only. Keep out of reach of children.

- Remove the Revolution tube from its protective package.
- Holding the tube upright, firmly press the cap down until you hear a ‘click’ sound, which signals that the cap has punctured the applicator seal. Remove the cap and check to be sure that the tip of the tube is open.
- Part the hair on the back of the animal at the base of the neck, in front of the shoulder blades, until the skin is visible.
- Apply the tip of the Revolution tube directly to the skin. Squeeze the tube firmly 3–4 times in one spot until empty. Keep tube compressed on the final squeeze to avoid drawing liquid back into tube. Avoid contact between Revolution and your fingers.
- While keeping tube squeezed, drag it away from liquid and lift up to remove.
- Ensure tube is empty.
Do not massage Revolution into the skin. Do not apply when the haircoat is wet. Do not apply to broken skin – Revolution contains alcohol. Stiff hair, clumping of hair, hair discoloration, or a slight powdery residue may be observed at the site in some animals. These effects are usually temporary and do not affect the safety or effectiveness of the product.

Normally Revolution works great. Is the safest most effective
By memphismom on Sep 4, 2019
Hello, I have one cat. I don't know why this "batch" or whatever reason this is not killing even fleas on my cat; but it's not. I applied as I always have for many years, many different felines. I applied it to Memphis, had it in system for about 3 days, a flea jumped up on my arm 2 days later and he's itching ALOT. What's up with this batch or supplier, your guess is as good as mine. My vet said to Never buy from any online sources. period. Don't necessarily agree, but it's shaky. Chewy is a GREAT, CARING, Superbly run company. This is some error, somewhere. Don't think bad of Chewy...

Works Great!
By Kristal on Aug 7, 2019
This stuff works great but you are supposed to apply monthly. Dont wait until your animal and home is infested for you to order it. If your animal is infested you will have to bomb your house. Take a flea comb through the animal and maybe even a flea bath . putting a dose on your infested animal will not kill the fleas in your home. And trust me they are in your home if your animal is that bad. This is a great product . my indoor cat got worms out of the blue one day , we took him to the vet and they said he most likely ate an infected flea ..I had no signs of fleas . no bites . no itchy cat. But aparently even inside cats can pick up a few fleas . we gave him worm meds and revolution and This stuff works great but you are supposed to apply monthly.

Used to be a good product
By Libby on Sep 8, 2019
Revolution used to be an upstanding wonderful product and now it is a shell of its former self. I don’t know if they water it down now to pretend like it works, or not , but I am on to them. I paid $95 for a worthless project. All cats are still riddled with fleas. Don’t buy this product!! I got a refund and I am trying Advantage next.

Works great
By Missy on Aug 16, 2019
I have 5 indoor cats that somehow got earmites. 5 vet trips would have been very expensive. A friend of mine, who is a vet tech, recommended the Revolution. I had received a promotional offer for Chewy pharmacy that week as well. I decided to order. Chewy handled everything, including contacting my vet for the prescription. The medicine worked great. All cats were symptom free within 48 hours of applying the medication. I would highly recommend Revolution. Thank you, Chewy for making the order process seamless.

Finally, something that works!
By KittyP85 on Aug 6, 2019
I tried multiple products after unknowingly adopting a puppy with fleas which ended up all over my cats. I applied this to my kitties a couple weeks ago and unfortunately have still been finding fleas in my house, however, I have seen 0 live fleas or flea dirt on any of the cats. As a matter of fact,I have only found dead fleas on them which leads me to believe that any fleas that have been attracted to them, quickly die. This is the only product I've had luck with and have seen 0 side effects.

Happy cat now!
By AngLaf on Jul 25, 2019
We adopted a cat to eliminate the rodent population at our cabinet shop and I think she got infested from fleas left behind by the rats and mice. Within hours of applying Revolution to Doodad dead fleas were falling off of her. The next morning dead fleas were all over me whenever I picked Doodad up. A couple of days later the guys in the shop started getting bit by fleas so I applied Ultracide to the shop floor and we are now flea free! I am really happy with this product so far and it's been 3 months that we have been using Revolution (and Ultracide).

Convenient and good price
By Cece on Sep 15, 2019
Kudos to Chewy! Cats vet changed Revolution option to carry only formula with tick control! My cats are indoor and I want them to use what vet originally recommended when I got my cats! And the price it better than the vet!

Used this product for many years
By PetMom on Aug 5, 2019
I have used Revolution on my cat for many years with excellent results. I am concerned that with the new Revolution Plus product, they intend to do away with the original version. I hope that is not the case, because I do not like the medicine they have added to the Plus version that has been linked to health issues. I hope to continue use of this original Revolution product.

Revolution Works Great!
By AlexisMarie on Aug 27, 2019
Sunny is an indoor cat, and we live on the third floor, but you can never be too sure. It’s been over a month since I adopted her, and she’s still problem free! I definitely recommend this product, whether you have an indoor cat or not.
