8 years and counting
From UndisclosedComments about Revolution (selamectin) for CatsSo easy to use and very effective. My indoor/outdoor cat has been taking Revolution every month for 8 years. Never had to worry about fleas or worms. No side effects I've noticed. -
So far so good!
From UndisclosedComments about Revolution (selamectin) for CatsApplication required once a month. Not easy to apply if cat is fidgety. Wish a genius Vet could come up with a better way of giving felines their preventative. -

Good product
From UndisclosedComments about Revolution (selamectin) for CatsFast delivery, good price. I buy revolution as it prevents heartworm and parasites also. No need for separate heartworm meds. I had two cats died 20 years ago from heartworm infection. -

Best Flea/Tick Product Out There
From UndisclosedComments about Revolution (selamectin) for CatsFor over 25 years I had been using Frontline for my cats. However, for the first time I had taken in a stray black cat who had very tight fur. The Frontline did not work nor would any other over-the-counter flea product until my Vet suggested Revolution. Midnight is more an outside can than an indoor/outdoor cat but he spends most of his days outside during the summer months and we all know what happens - he gets smothered by fleas. Revolution is a Godsend for any cat who loves the outdoors during the summer months. This stuff really kills the fleas, and for the 13 years we have had Midnight, we have never had a tick on him. We also have never had issues with worms with Midnight. If your cat is more of an outdoors cat and the other flea products just don't work, get your Vet onboard with Revolution and try it! You won't be disappointed. Also VetRx is the cheapest when it comes to the price! These people rock when it comes to service and price. -
Yes I intend to buy this product again
From UndisclosedComments about Revolution (selamectin) for CatsGreat. Hands down the best. It does it all. I like the ear mite problem addressed but cannot locate chewing lice and this cat is still scratching driving us both nuts. It may be in there but VetRxDirect would know for sure. The others have it but nothing for ear mites. Hope that helps so I will keep reading maybe I missed it or I need to get an additional product for that lick-chew she in engaged in. That is all I can think of is the lice. Indoor cat, where do they get lice from?
Q & A

How long do I wait to give meds again??
-
The frequency of administering Revolution for cats depends on what it is being used for. For heartworm prevention and flea control, apply topically each month. If you're treating ear mites, apply topically once and then repeat application one month later if necessary. For hookworms and roundworms, apply topically once. If your cat has ancylostoma ceylanicum, apply topically once. For cheyletiellosis, apply topically once a month for a total of 3 treatments. For biting lice and notoedric mange, apply topically once. Please consult your veterinarian with any further questions and dosing directions specific to your pet.

I put revolution on my cat 7 days early by mistake. Will it hurt her??
-
It is recommended to contact your veterinarian if you administer more than the prescribed dose. Safety studies have shown Revolution is safe in cats up to 10 times the recommended dose. If your cat is not experiencing any side effects such as hair loss, vomiting, salivation, or muscle tremors, it is most likely safe to resume your cat's normal dosing regimen.

When I put the revolution on my cat tonight she tried to run, I held her but it ended up more to the side rather than the middle. So she was able to lick her hair a little. Should I be worried? She's fine so far?
-
Revolution contains selamectin, a topical parasiticide, that should be applied at the base of the neck in front of the shoulder blades to avoid ingestion by the pet. According to the manufacturer, accidental ingestion in cats may cause salivation and possible vomiting. If you have concerns about how much product your cat may have consumed we recommend contacting your veterinarian. Thank you, VetRxDirect

how long does it take for revolution to kill fleas after application?
-
According to the package insert, laboratory studies found that greater than 98% of fleas were killed within the first 36 hours. The first application of this product will kill all fleas and eggs on your pet, but there is no information supporting when complete eradication will occur.The fleas on your pet, however, are only a small percentage of the fleas that could be infesting your home. Fleas like to be in dark places, such as carpet fibers, upholstery, bedding, and even behind baseboards. Some household cleaning tips to help get rid of fleas include: vacuum the carpets thoroughly (throw away the bag/empty out vacuum after each use as flea eggs can hatch within them); sweep and mop hardwood and linoleum flooring; wash your pet's bedding with hot water to kill the flea eggs and larva; and wash your pet's toys. Be sure to keep up this vigorous cleaning regimen until the flea problem is solved. You may consider treating your yard as well if fleas continue to be a persistent problem. Thank you, VetRxDirect

I have purchased revolution online many times and have never needed a prescription. Why do you require it!?
-
Revolution, as well as all other heartworm preventative products, do require a prescription from your veterinarian in order to be legally dispensed. Many veterinarians will require an exam and heartworm testing prior to prescribing Revolution. Talk to your veterinarian about getting a prescription for Revolution. Thank you, VetRxDirect
