I put Joey on it when he reached 4 pounds and he has done very well on it and he can be kinda sensitive. My grandfather had a hard time remembering not to pet where the topicals were also. It all gets in the blood stream anyway. I had heard some issues with topicals making dogs feel like they had things crawling on them maybe that's what's going on with Bella.
It just goes to show that each dog is different. Thank goodness that there is a diversity of treatments to choose from! The story about topicals making dogs feel like they have things crawling on them almost makes me want to put some Revolution on the back of my next to see what's going on (just kidding! ) For Bella, the itching/creepy feeling lasts for just a couple of minutes and then she's fine, with no other side effects.
