| we like revolution, as well! the fact that it comes in the small dosages is GREAT! (personally i didn't like using Advantage because the dose/weight range was so high.. i would NEVER use the full amount... and was told it may not be as affective then... ) anyway.. i had heard great things about Revolution.. & Gemma's breeder reccommended this one (if any, because of Gemma's size..) (she uses it on all her babies!) & my vet carries it! * plus.. it covers heartworm too!!

There are also more deaths reported per year from it than other meds. Revolution 36 Heartgard 6 Interceptor 9 Sentinel 6 My guess it Sentinel is so low because it isn't very popular from what I've seen been it seems that Heartgard is more popular than Revolution with way less deaths, so it may be that something like Heartgard or Interceptor are quite a bit safer.

| I tried Revolution on my Tessa and she had a horrible reaction to it...her hair started falling out and her skin turned red...Had to take her to the Vet and they put her on antibiotics and anti-inflamatory medication...I have her on Comfortis now and it's alot better for her...Just wanted to let you know your Yorkie might get a bad reaction to it... |

MyFairLacy and someone else on YT have heard that dogs on this are being seen for heartworms a bit too often.

| Those are harsh chemicles and you just trade fleas for cancers and other major health problems. There are too many all natural products that keep fleas and ticks off without taking chances. Chinaroad Lowchens of Australia - Ticks, fleas, bees, flies, snakes and other gremlins! And how to deal with them!
