Protect Your Dog and Cat with Revolution for Pets

Stopping fleas and preventing heartworms are just some of the ways that Revolution for Pets protects your cat or dog from harmful parasites and bothersome pests. Revolution is the first topical medication that’s been approved by the FDA (The U.S. Food and Drug Administration) that kills adult fleas and their eggs, controls ear mites and ticks, and also prevents heartworms in dogs and cats.

Protecting Your Best Friend with Revolution Dog

Revolution (selamectin) protects your pet from parasites such as fleas, ticks, and heartworms with an easy, once a month application. Revolution Dog is available by prescription and comes in six different dosage strengths for dogs of varying weights.

How does Revolution Dog work?

Entering the bloodstream through the skin, Revolution Dog concentrates in the dog’s tissues and blood to prevent heartworm disease. It also redistributes itself from the blood back to the skin for protection against the American dog tick, mites, fleas, and flea eggs.

Are there any side effects of Revolution Dog?

Less than one percent of dogs experience some stomach upset after having a Revolution Dog treatment, so it is generally well tolerated by the majority of the canine population.

Easy Application

Three easy steps is all is takes to protect your pet from parasites with Revolution Dog or Revolution Cat. First, holding the tube upright, press down until you hear a click, indicating the seal has been punctured. Part the fur at the base of the neck, between the shoulders, and put the tip of the tube onto the skin. Squeeze three to four times in the same exact area until the tube is empty.

Protecting Your Feline Friend with Revolution Cat

Similar to Revolution Dog, Revolution Cat enters the animal’s bloodstream through a topical skin application to protect them from fleas and their eggs, heartworms, roundworms, ticks, and ear mites.

What are the side effects of Revolution Cat?

Less than one percent of felines experience digestive upset after using Revolution for Cats. Approximately one percent of cats had a temporary hair loss at the application site.

Signs of Fleas

When a flea bites a dog, tiny bits of saliva are deposited under the skin that can cause an allergic reaction, leading to flea-bite hypersensitivity in some dogs. Revolution Dog prevents fleas from infesting your pet, and controls the existing flea population before they have a chance to wreak havoc on your household.

Fleas are tiny, oval shaped, and usually light to dark brown colored pests that are able to jump relatively long distances to get from host to host or to avoid danger. On cats, it’s common to see red, circular shaped lesions that are raised, and dogs will also have lesions, as well as patches of hair loss usually around the base of the tail or abdominal area from scratching.

It’s important to remember that only five percent of adult fleas are actually living on your dog or cat. The other 95% are eggs or developing larvae that are hidden throughout your home, hiding in the carpets, drapes, your pet’s bedding, and your furniture. Although it may take several months and a few consecutive applications depending on the amount of the current flea infestation, both Revolution Dog and Revolution Cat protect your home from re-infestation.

The Risks Associated with Fleas and Other Parasites

Besides being bothersome to your dog or cat, fleas cause plenty of itching and discomfort and may possibly spread harmful bacteria from host to host. Although they do prefer dogs or cats, the common flea will also bite humans, but the majority of parasites that affect animals pose no risk or threat to people.

A disease that is transmitted from an animal to a human is referred to as a zoonotic disease. Although rare, if a person ingests roundworm eggs, it may cause blindness, or damage to the internal organs or central nervous system. Infection from hookworms may result in painful skin lesions, and certain mites can cause an irritating rash.

Heartworms in dogs are a highly preventable, but very dangerous parasite that are transmitted by the bite of a mosquito. Revolution Dog helps to protect your dog from potential heart failure or damage to their blood vessels caused by mature heartworms.

A monthly dosage of Revolution Dog also protects your pets from ticks, which are the main carrier of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, a potentially fatal human illness. Revolution Dog can also be used on puppies that are as young as six weeks old.
