Is Revolution worth it compared with a flea-only product?

It covers more than fleas: heartworm prevention, ear mites and sarcoptic mange in one monthly dose. If your dog already takes a separate heartworm preventive, compare total monthly cost before switching.

How does Revolution differ from Revolution Plus?

Revolution Plus adds tick and roundworm/hookworm coverage and is labeled for cats. For dogs, standard Revolution covers fleas, heartworm, ear mites, sarcoptic mange and American dog ticks.

Which tube size does my dog need?

Match weight to the band: 5.1–10 lb uses 0.25 mL, 10.1–20 lb uses 0.5 mL, 20.1–40 lb uses 1.0 mL, 40.1–85 lb uses 2.0 mL, and 85.1–130 lb uses 3.0 mL.

How old must a puppy be for Revolution?

The label allows it from six weeks of age. Puppies under six weeks or under 5 lb need a different plan from your vet.

Can my dog swim or be bathed after application?

Keep the dog from bathing or swimming for at least two hours so the dose absorbs into the skin. After that, normal bathing is fine.
