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.

Being a vet tech this was my all time favorite parasite prevention for cats. It’s one of the safest, most effective and easy to apply products. These come in the form of a liquid in small tubes. To apply you separate your cat’s fur and squirt the liquid at the base of the neck. By applying it there, it should help keep your cat from licking it. Always wash hands after administering. Everyone is different and some cats will have slight reactions. They may become itchy or be uncomfortable due to feeling like there is something on their fur. Just keep an eye on your pet. If their skin doesn’t get really red and they’re still eating and drinking normal, they should be fine, but always call your vet Being a vet tech this was my all time favorite parasite prevention for cats.

I’ve used this product so many times and I was always pleased with it. This is a prescription item, so Chewy does have to contact your vet first. They’ll call your vet and first make sure that your cat has an updated heartworm test on file. From there if your vet gives Chewy the ok, they’ll ship your item and you should get it within 2-3 days. I’ve ordered several prescription items from Chewy, and they always handle everything so well! Best customer service ever! … more

After the flea medication I have used for many years seemed to stop working, my vet recommended Revolution because it is not a topical flea medication but instead gets into their systems and can even help with heart worms, etc. I used it on all three of my cats, and it has not worked for any of them. It has been three weeks since I applied it-carefully being sure to apply it to their skin and not just get it on their fur- and all three of them are still scratching constantly. I am pulling live fleas off them regularly and as I dig in their fur, I see plenty of the little black speckles, which is flea feces. I do not recommend this product at all.

I have used Revolution for over 20 years. I highly recommend it for cats. It is easy to use. My cats and dogs are always flea and tick free. Make sure you don't get them mixed up. So, the only thing I wish they would change is maybe the label on the tube so you instantly can see it is for a Cat vs a Dog. My old eyes can barely see it.

My vet recommended that I use Revolution as feels although expensive it's the only one to use. I've used this and feel its the best for monthly usage on my kitties. Tried the serento collar which is a 6 month use but it just didn't do the job I needed on my cats. Revolution does!

I’ve been using this product ever since I adopted my cat a year or so ago. She has not had any side effects and she has remained free from ear mites and heart worm. Ear mites have been a big issue with previous cats, so, for me, this is a nice benefit of the Revolution product.

I've used Revolution for years with my cats. It's one of the best flea products for cats. Also being in the veterinary field I recommend this product daily. It also treats intestinal parasites to which is a must for outdoor cats.

Revolution is the ONLY flea medication that I will use on my babies. Never had any kind of an issue with usage, easy to use, not overly smelly, drys so quick and it's waterproof after it dries! Kills fleas dead fast! I highly recommend it!

I have been using revolution for a year now and it has been good, no reaction for my cats (besides them being a bit sleepy after application). I typically do it in a few spots around the neck to ensure even application.

My cats were totally infested. I’ve used multiple different products, brand and types of treatment, and nothing helped my cats. I was originally prescribed this from my vet and it worked like a charm. Within 24 hours, I was finding dead adult fleas all over their bedding. Within 3 months of continuing this treatment, the fleas were gone. No evidence of eggs or adults were present anywhere I looked. It’s pricey, but it got the job done.
