Did you have a question about the Revolution? I have used it on all my 5 for years and have never had a problem. They are protected from fleas and heartworms in one dosage. I like it since it is dosed by weight. I have a 3 lb. girl that gets the puppy dosage and my other 4 girls get the 5-10 lbs. dosage since they all fall into that range. I highly recommend it but get it from your vet as the online packs can come from overseas and they aren't regulated or guaranteed like they are from your vet.

Our vet will only prescribe this for cats not for dogs. I requested it because I liked the idea of one med to take care of fleas and heartworm but he would not prescribe.

I use it on all of mine.

I've been using Revolution for eight years, puppies through adults, never had a problem or seen a flea on any of them.

Fiona just got put on this, and I haven't had a problem yet. My only issue is that she still has fleas, and Im going to spray and bomb the house this weekend. They will use revolution for scarocptic mange too.

No, I didn't have a question, but was interested in other people's opinion. Prince has been on it for four months, and I really like it...no throwing up

I've been using this for three months on Stella (started at 16 weeks on the puppy dose, now we're up to 5-10 lb dose) and I love it. It's so easy to use and it dries so quickly...It's a good thing you can give them a bath two hours afterwards because one of the mornings I put it on her I left for an errand and came back and she had pooped in her X-pen and jumped all over in it! I have heard that some dogs still get heartworm while on Revolution, but I think as long as you're vigilant and your dog gets regular health check-ups, it shouldn't be an issue.

I have Zeus on the puppy dose and he has done fine with it. As long as he never exceeds 10 lbs. I will keep him on the puppy dose

Very true! And, it depends on their lifestyle. There are reports that dogs get heartworms while on other meds as well.

I really wanted to put Maddie on this because I feel like she drowns when I put all the frontline on her but I have read reviews where dogs are still getting heartworms and you should supplement with another heartworm preventative. My vet recommended frontline plus, so she could be protected from ticks too, and sentinel. She said she has come across dogs that get heartworm with Revolution. She said it probably is due to misapplication, but still, I don't want to take my chances. Good luck!
