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.
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 InteractionsTalk to your veterinarian about any other drugs your dog is taking before starting this medication.
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.

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.

Monster Fleas
By Katgrahl on Sep 21, 2020
I have 4 small chihuahuas and prior to this month had been using Sentinel oral flea/heart worm meds. However, Sentinel doesn’t offer a 3 pack, only a 6 pack. Therefore I switched to Revolution for a month. However, the fleas here in N.C. have been horrible because of the wet weather and unfortunately the Revolution has been ineffective. I’m hoping my vet has a solution because I cannot take the constant scratching and the flea infestation much longer!

Seems to be working with no problems
By DonnaJo on Oct 3, 2020
Chewy had no problem getting the ok from my vet for this item. Arrived quickly. It was recommended by my vet when I brought him in for his first wellness exam and he got his first application there. He was fine with no negative reactions to this product, so I decided to stay with this.

Good product—but
By MEBT on Aug 26, 2020
Great product. Get from my vet. Was thrilled that there was 20% discount, but sent in 2 valid prescriptions—one for each of my dogs—and they would only fill one and said I’d have to place another order for the other dog. Of course I wouldn’t be able to get the discount now. Might as well get from my vet

By MJKIM on Aug 3, 2020
Thank you for working with my my vet to respond to the prescription request and keeping me updated on the progress! I can trust your company to follow through on all orders and to communicate by email any problems or delays. I also appreciate your timely delivery of dog food, treats and toys for my pups even in these unprecedented times.

Works for my picky pooch.
By KCK90 on Jul 11, 2020
We chose this product because our little guy refuses to take pills or any medication disguised as a treat. He's not stupid and he won't eat it. Since there isn't an oral liquid option we decided to try topical. Seems to be working fine but it's only been a month so time will tell. My only issue was piercing the applicator with cap. I tried several times and it just wouldn't break through so I ended up using a safety pin to open it. Application was easy afterwards though and he didn't have any adverse reactions.

Year round?
By Revolution on Oct 26, 2020
Haven't used as of yet, but was wondering if this is a year round med, or just spring and summer
