How to Apply Revolution on Dogs & Cats

Revolution is a medication manufactured by Zoetis. We do recommend it especially during Heartworm Season. It contains the active ingredient selamectin, which kills fleas , prevents heartworm and treats and controls ear mites in dogs and cats.

My instructions to the clients are:

Always make sure that you have the correct dosage of Revolution for your pet .How much does your pet weigh will tell you which Revolution to use!

Step 1:

  • Hold Revolution tube upright
  • Press cap down until you hear a click (meaning the cap has punctured the tip of the tube)

Step 2:

  • Part the hair at the base of your pet’s neck
  • Squeeze the tube onto a visible area of skin onto ONE SPOT until empty.

Step 3:

  • While keeping the tube squeezed, drag it along and away from the liquid, then lift up to remove
  • You have to be sure the tube of Revolution has been emptied

WARNING : You are not suppose to use REVOLUTION on sick, weak, or underweight dogs. Use only on dogs 6 weeks and older. Prior to administration, we do recommend dogs to be tested for heartworm.
