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.
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.

When tested for oral ingestion at the recommended topical dose in 5 to 8-month-old beagles, no adverse reactions were observed.

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.

Is this fake tick medicine?!
By Jessimal on May 14, 2020
My inside dog has been on this for over a month and this medicine does NOT control tick infestations. I am constantly pulling ticks out of him even bloated, fat ticks. The ticks are always still alive! Always. Never seen a dead one. It's like he wasn't given medicine. Based on what I've seen I'm sure the tick would be able to survive its whole life cycle on my dog if I let it. I am really frustrated about this. This medicine is so ineffective at controlling tick infestations I can only assume it won't be able to control the other parasites it claims to but I haven't seen any fleas. I must say the cat version of this is seem to work for my (inside/outside) cat, but I can't help but wonder My inside dog has been on this for over a month and this medicine does NOT control tick infestations.

Have used Revolution for many years
By Prllucky13 on Apr 12, 2020 Top 100 Contributor
Started using when it first hit the market. I live in a cabin on a river in Central Wisconsin. My yard and surrounding woods are very deer tick ,wood tick and mosquito infested . I tried a lot of flee and tick medications . All natural non medicated did not work at all and other prescribed meds did not work nearly as well. Plus I no longer have to buy heart worm medication as Revolution treats for heart worm too.

Not Efficient
By Butch on Apr 17, 2020
As of 4/17/2020 I have Not received my order! I realize things are moving slower now due to Covid-19; so I should have taken the prescription to the pharmacy instead. I never dreamed that Chewey would take this long to fill a prescription.

No flea issue
By Dingo on May 18, 2020
Good product that protects my dog from fleas. My dog goes out to play and go to the bathroom. She needs good protection and Chewey had it for a reasonable price.

Initially Thought was Great
By Kirstie on Jan 7, 2020 Top 10 Contributor
However, I am having some doubts about this product. It says it provides control of flea, heartworm & dog tick infestations. Which seemed amazing to me that it was a topical! My standard Goldendoodle and 2 toy poodles would not take oral chews for heartworms or fleas. It was traumatizing for all of us. I have found 2 very-full dog ticks on my doodle.
