General Medication Information
Revolution pet is a monthly topical heartworm, flea and tick control pet medication from Pfizer.
As a matter of fact it is one of the few topical spot on meds available for preventing heartworms.
For your convenience, Revolution
is quick drying, non greasy and water fast so you can cuddle and
play with your pet sooner than many other topical treatments will allow.
As soon as two hours after revolution pet is applied it is considered water resistant, remaining effective through the month
even with moderate shampooing, swimming, rain or exposure to sunlight.
Following application, revolution enters the bloodstream through the skin to
prevent heartworm disease and treat gastrointestinal parasites. Revolution is distributed
to the sebaceous glands in your pet's skin where it provides protection against
troublesome fleas, flea eggs, ticks and mites
Although revolution is considered safe for most pets and for puppies and kittens over the age of
six weeks, it is not recommended for sick, weak, or underweight animals, and, as with any pet meds, we
always recommend visiting with your veterinarian to determine if revolution is the right
product for your specific pet dog or cat.

Why Revolution Is Our Personal Preference For Our Own Cats
When it comes to a dog, the primary danger from heartworms is what they do to the heart after the heartworm larvae has
traveled to the heart where they proceed to grow into adults.
For cats however, there is an additional issue. When a mosquito
infects a cat with heartworm larvae the larvae travel to the lungs before they proceed to
the heart, when they reach the lungs of a cat there is an immune reaction that destroys many of the larvae. The problem is
that the immune reaction that kills the larvae can also damage the feline lungs. When a cat is given a heartworm pill
the heartworm larvae that are present in the cat should be killed at that time. However, heartworm larvae that could infect the cat between
doses could still have time to irritate the lungs before the next month's pill is due. In other words, the larvae may not have
time to make it the heart and grow into adulthood between doses, but they would have time to irritate the lungs.
This is not as much of a concern with dogs as it is usually the adult heartworm that is the main problem for them,
once a month should be enough protection in their case.
We like revolution pet for our cats because it provides protection against larvae throughout the entire month,
rather than just at the time of treatment.

Why Prescriptions Are Required For Heartworm Pet Products
Since heartworm prevention is not designed to kill adult worms in the heart, it is important to test your pet
for heart worms before beginning preventative treatment, otherwise the adult infestation could be missed
and continue to worsen while you are under the false impression that your pet is heartworm free.
Requiring a test before beginning treatment helps prevent this oversight. In addition to this,
if you give your dog a preventative when they already have heartworms,
it can lead to rare but severe reactions that could be harmful to the dog.
Therefore, a prescription is important and required as a preventative measure to
protect your pet. Guide To Buying Prescription Medication Online

The Life Cycle Of The Flea
Many flea control products target the flea in either the adult or developing stage but not in both. Targeting the adults
only allows fleas to hatch and targeting the developing stages only allows adults to continue to pose a problem for your
dog or cat. Revolution
takes care of fleas in both stages for more flea control.

Advantage Multi
The makers of Advantage Flea control now offer
Advantage Multi a similar product to Revolution, and
an alternative spot on med that also helps prevent
fleas as well as heartworms too. It has different main active ingredients however, Imidacloprid and also Moxidectin,
whereas revolution dog and cat use Selamectin. Pricing between them is similar.

|
Prescription RX Required
A prescription is required for heartworm meds for a reason, pharmacies are obligated to verify
a prescription before the med is shipped. Be wary of any pharmacy willing to sell you a prescription required medicine without
verifying the prescription with your pet's veterinarian first.
