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.

- 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.

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.

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.

Have been using Revolution for 7+ years & feel safe knowing my cat is 100% free from fleas, heartworms & ear mites. My cat is 60/40 indoors/outdoors and have never seen a flea on her, nor in my house since then. Was unaware until recently that Chewy.com carried this product until my vet's price for both Revolution and Paradyne (similar product, different brand) skyrocketed to $120+, and I started doing price comparison searches online. Thank you Chewy.com for saving me $40+!

I am happy to recommend chewy.com and the product revolution. Our vet suggested this for flea control for our cats that are indoor/outdoor. We have been using it for about a year and have had ZERO fleas. chewy.com saved us about $30.00 off the price the vet offered the product and since we buy food from this site, i just combined the orders and FREE shipping saved us additional money.

I've been given my cats revolution since they where kittens, my cats are inside cats only I don't worry about fleas too much but you never know I rather be safe then sorry, I love revolution because it protects the cats from many parasites including heartworm which living in Florida there's always one mosquito that sneaks in though the door. My cats are very sensitive to medication they have never had any problem with revolution. The price on chewy is much cheaper then the vet and they are very fast in contacting your vet and with delivery they really do care for you and your pet.

I recently adopted a 10 year old girl kitty. She's on prescription food and I wanted "the best" for monthly flea, etc. The vet gave me a sample of Revolution. She's an inside kitty, so I don't worry too much about fleas/ticks..... She tolerates it well. Love ordering from Chewy. They are the best!

My little feral kitten had lost most of her hair and had dermatitis from fleas. She had developed sores on her skin. The vet recommended Revolution and gave her the first dose. Needless to say Baby Girl has completely cleared up and her fur has grown back in.

I love Chewy.com! It’s fast, easy to use and affordable! My sister and I use Revolution on our pets all the time and it was so nice to be able to order it, have it shipped and especially to have the autoship option to get this exactly when we need it.

I've used this products 4 several yrs but this yr my poor furbabies r eat up. They have been flea free 4 over 15 yrs of until this yr. They were indoor cats until I moved back home 2 take care of my mother. They have their own house now. Not sure how we got fleas but suspect the boarding facility I use. My poor Cinnamon is allergic 2 fleas so it's off 2 the vet 4 a steroid injection bc the Revolution isn't working on any of them. Strange so I suspect a bad batch. I'm the proud mamakitn to 5 furbabies. Plan 2 switch 2 another brand 4 a while.

I have used this product for several years on my 14 cats and now also on my rescue cats. I've never had to have a prescription to purchase Revolution and don't understand why it's required at Chewy but, I will continue continue to purchase this product elsewhere and highly recommend it. Be careful who you purchase from as there is bogus Revolution being sold out of China yet the packaging looks the same. The product, however, does look different and does not work.
