Revolution For Cats And Revolutions For Dogs
Controls Multiple Parasites
Revolution is a name brand parasite treatment
that comes in two varieties: Revolution for
Dogs and Revolution for Cats. This is a topical
treatment applied to the skin of the cat or
dog and it has different benefits for each
species. Revolution requires a prescription
from your veterinarian and uses the active
ingredient selamectin to do its work. This
medicine enters the pets bloodstream and circulates
to protect against parasites that plague cats
and dogs. Since parasites such as fleas and
ticks feed on an animal's blood, they are
killed when they try to do so. The medicine
in the skin tissue also helps prevent flea
eggs from hatching.
Revolution is unique as a form of protective
medicine for your pet because it treats both
internal and external parasites. This gives
the brand a more thorough ability to kill
a wide spectrum of dangerous and irritating
parasites.
Revolution for Dogs is safe for dogs and
puppies at least 6 weeks of age. This medicine
can kill fleas and ticks, along with preventing
heartworm. In addition, it will fight against
ear mites and is able to expel internal parasite
worms. This product can also be used as a
treatment for sarcoptic mange.
Revolution for Cats is safe for cats and
kittens at least 8 weeks of age. In addition
to protecting cats from fleas, ticks and ear
mites, it is also able to kill hookworms and
roundworms.
This product is safe, simple to use and one
dose lasts for a full month. In order to fully
protect against heartworms, it is recommended
that you use the product all year around.
No other product on the market now can do
what Revolution does for dogs or cats. This
is Pfizer Animal Health medicine, one of the
most trusted names in veterinary medicine.
