For Revolution to work efficiently on your pet, you must ensure that the liquid is appropriately applied with spot-on application on the cat’s or dog’s skin at the base of its neck. This spot-on application of Revolution absorbs liquid medicine within a few seconds. Revolution is applied once a month. This provides your pet with thirty days of complete protection from both external and internal harmful parasites.

2. How Long Does It Take Revolution to Kill Fleas?

4. Is It Ok if My Cat Licks Revolution?

Answer

Revolution is a topical solution for both cats and dogs. You can apply Revolution on the base of your cat’s neck just above its shoulders or in any region of the coat where he or she may be unable to reach. You must apply Revolution to your pet with a spot-on applicator. To your cat, the taste of the medicine is very unpleasant and because of this reason, they may try to remove or get rid of it.

How does Revolution® (Selamectin) work?

This always does the trick for my indoor/outdoor cat. Keeps the fleas and ticks and other vermin off of him. The way I can set it up and get it delivered is great too. They even keep the prescription up to date with my Vet.
