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.

Frontline and Advantage were both having trouble this year really doing anything to help deal with the fleas here in southern california so I asked my vet if he would approve a prescription for revolution through Chewy (very very handy that this is an option). It smells bad, but I'm lucky to have the world's chillest kitty and he doesn't mind too much being handled for the flea treatment. The next morning, I combed through his fur with a flea comb and snagged a whole bunch of dead or dying fleas. Disgusting, but finally satisfying how well and how quickly it was working.

Had a major flea problem in the house. Tried both frontline and advantage but would start seeing fleas again after about only 2 weeks, ugh! Vet recommended revolution and I saw a huge improvement in just one month! No fleas on the kitties and just a few around the house. We're almost approaching the 3rd month and we haven't seen any fleas on the kitties or in the house. Very happy!

It took 1-2 days for my vet to approve the prescription, and another 1-2 days for the stuff to arrive in the mail. Definitely not a long wait at all. I instantly put this on my cat when I received and I noticed an improvement in her a few hours later. She wasn't scratching herself to death anymore. After waiting a few hours for the stuff to kick in, I promptly used a flea comb and boy did I get a lot off of her. Dead ones to be exact. I really do recommend this product and its much cheaper getting it hear on Chewy than it is at my local vets office.

Revolution has become an important item in the lives of my three cats. I feed cats outside my door, and had it not been for Revolution my indoor cats would be covered in fleas. Additionally, my latest adoptee was rescued from a hole outside and was full of fleas. It took one application at the vet's office and he wasclear. Also, Revolution addresses parasites and other critters.

Keeping George flea-free is a priority. We live in the country and fleas are a part of life due to wildlife in the area. George is strictly indoors but we track in fleas going in and out. All the over the counter topicals make him sick. This one doesn't. I would rather not use topicals but it's better than seeing him miserable and scratching all the time. Chewy.com did a great job and contacted the vet for me. They shipped the item the next day.

Some fleas started showing up on our rabbit. Our vet immediately recommended Revolution, but she also gave us a couple over the counter suggestions to try 1st if we wanted to try saving a little $$. We tried them and none of them worked so we moved on to Revolution. Revolution was worth every penny. It's the only thing that has worked, and it also prevents ear mites as a side benefit. Highly recommend it.

i'm unfamiliar with using a flea treatment on a kitty. my prior kitty was pesticide sensitive so she was on the pill "program". it killed the eggs but the adults could still bite her so she got regular flea dips until all of the adults were dead and as she was indoors we never had flea issues after that. my present kitty fought me very much when I started to move her fur to place the med on her. i'm not sure if it got all the way on her skin. she is still having an occasional scratch and much less head shaking like her ears have something in them. i'm hoping the next month I can try something different like maybe wrapping her in a purrito while I place it.

My two cats got fleas 4-5 weeks ago. What a nightmare. I gave flea baths (what fun) bought flea collars and Advantage all of which did not work. My vet prescribed Revolution. Finally my cats are flea free and we’re all happy. It actually works. Thank you.

I have used other brands of flea medication recommended by the vet and they were very aggressive and burning sometimes the skin of my cats. They were expensive, uneffective and unhealthy. This one contains chemicals but my cats tolerate it much better and keep the fleas away for a month or even longer in my inside cats. This packet of 6 units was half price than what I paid in the vet. Yes half price cheaper in chewy. The order arrived on time After 2 days. Fantastic! Very satisfied with chewy, his customer service, his prices and the quality of the products.
