Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.
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 on your furry friend's skin to protect them from biting critters. When applied every 30 days, Revolution protects against heartworms, fleas, and ear mites. It's also effective in preventing and treating roundworms and hookworms in kittens and sarcoptic mange and American dog tick infestations in puppies.
Proudly sourced directly from the manufacturer or their approved distributor. Guaranteed genuine and backed by the manufacturer.
UsesRevolution is formulated to kill 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 sarcoptic mange and for the control of tick infestations due to Dermacentor variabilis.
Possible Side EffectsIn safety studies, Revolution was administered at 1, 3, 5, and 10 times the recommended dose to sixweek-old puppies, and no adverse reactions were observed. When tested for oral ingestion at the recommended topical dose in 5 to 8-month-old beagles, no adverse reactions were observed. In a topical safety study conducted with avermectinsensitive collies at 1, 3 and 5 times the recommended dose of Revolution, salivation was observed in all treatment groups. Revolution also was administered at 3 times the recommended dose to heartworm infected dogs, and no adverse effects were observed. If side effects do occur, please contact your veterinarian immediately.
Drug & Food InteractionsThe most common is hair loss at the site of application with or without inflammation (redness, flaking) in cats. Other side effects reported in cats and dogs include vomiting, diarrhea with or without blood, anorexia (decreased appetite), lethargy (sluggishness), salivation, rapid breathing, pruritus (itching), urticaria (welts, hives), erythema (skin redness), ataxia (incoordination), fever and rare instances of death. There have also been rare reports of seizures in dogs. If you have additional questions about possible side effects, talk to your veterinarian.
Precautions
Prior to administration of Revolution, dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infections. At the discretion of the veterinarian, infected dogs 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 dogs 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.

What is Revolution?
Easy to apply, quick to dry, Revolution (selamectin) protects dogs against a variety of common internal and external parasites. Revolution is the first FDA-approved, topically applied medication for dogs 6 weeks and older that:
- Prevents heartworm disease.
- Kills adult fleas.
- Prevents flea eggs from hatching.
- Prevents and controls flea infestations.
- Treats and controls ear mites.
- Treats and controls sarcoptic mange.
- Controls American dog tick infestations.
Revolution is quick-drying, nongreasy and waterfast, with no unpleasant odor, so you can cuddle and play with your dog as soon as the product dries. Bathing your dog 2 hours after application does not reduce the effectiveness of Revolution.
Revolution is a prescription-only medication available only through a veterinarian, not a pesticide registered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
How Revolution works?
Just one dose a month applied at the base of the neck in front of the shoulder blades is all your dog needs for protection against fleas, heartworms and other parasites. No pills. No sticky sprays. No more hassling with multiple products.
After application, Revolution enters the bloodstream through the skin. Concentrations of Revolution in the blood and tissues prevent heartworm disease. Revolution selectively redistributes from the blood to the skin, where it provides protection against fleas, flea eggs, American dog ticks and mites.
Is Revolution right for your dog?
Parasites are an annoying fact of life for our dogs. Parasites can cause a range of problems, from bothersome scratching to more serious medical issues, such as infections and dangerous or even deadly diseases. How dangerous these problems are depends on the type of parasite, the degree of infection or infestation, and your dog's reaction to the parasite.
Most parasites that affect dogs pose no risk for humans. However, a few parasites, like sarcoptic mange mites, are zoonotic, meaning they can be transmitted from animals to humans. Your veterinarian can recommend methods to prevent, treat or control many canine parasites to reduce the chance of human exposure and to keep your dog healthy.

Works Great
By Benji on Jan 27, 2022
Have used this product on our pet previously and have returned to using it as it was a great combination medication. Our dog has reactions to flea collars and cannot wear them at all so this spot treatment is a great option for us.

Peace of mind is worth a lot!
By Princer on Jul 15, 2021
I have been using Revolution for 7-9 years, maybe longer on our mixed pit/lab rescue. One by one, my local vets stopped carrying it and I am so thankful Chewy will ship it to me! One local vet said the heartworm preventative in this product does't work for heart worms. He insisted I get an annual blood test to check for them. Big surprise for him, it's always negative! I don't like paying $125 every 6 months either for the 40-85 pound 6 dose package, but I love the peace of mind we have, knowing our pet is covered for ticks, fleas, mites & more! When I first started this product, I only used revolution from April - Oct because our dog is a house pet and there are no fleas here in I have been using Revolution for 7-9 years, maybe longer on our mixed pit/lab rescue.

When I first started this product, I only used revolution from April - Oct because our dog is a house pet and there are no fleas here in the winter, right? Wrong! I got scolded for this, however it still worked for 3 years. Since then, I use it every 4 to 6 weeks, and wouldn't want to switch at all, because our fur baby is 17 years young! I've read and heard that many of the flea meds are hard on older dogs, can cause severe reactions, etc, this one does not! My highest recommendation! AAA+++ … more

Great but too expensive!
By Gaiasmom on Jun 13, 2021
I have been using this for years- it works great. But going to look for another alternative because it is ridiculously expensive. They sell it in other countries under the name Stronghold for half of the price. Very annoyed to pay $25 per month for flea and tick control.

So far so good
By Peggy on May 4, 2021
It’s only been a couple weeks since our first application but so far we have seen no ticks (heart worm & ticks are our greatest concern). I noted on another person’s post that they didn’t like the smell but my husband and I didn’t smell any odor from the liquid. Our Veterinarian recommended this product because our Labrador retriever would spit any and all oral products out no mater what we put the tick and heart worm medication in. We didn’t notice any side effects after this initial dose. At this time I would say “so far so good”

Perfection
By Quickie on Jun 3, 2021
We have been using Revolution on our 3 dogs and 3 cats for several years. I like the idea that one application is good for fleas, ticks, and heart worm. Our dogs refused to eat the heart worm nugget so I thought I’d give Revolution a try. It works!
