How Revolution works
Revolution simply works inside and out.
Once you've applied it, Revolution For Cats is quickly absorbed into your pet's bloodstream, killing any heartworm larvae, as well as any roundworm and hookworm intestinal larvae, it encounters. As it moves into your cat's skin and hair, it gets down to the business of killing fleas and other external parasites. Revolution For Cats will then continue to fully protect your cat for an entire month, regardless of how long your cat's hair is. After the month is up, a new dose needs to be applied.
If you've administered Revolution For Cats correctly and in line with the recommended dosing schedule, you and your cat can rely on protection from the following:
-
Fleas
Revolution treats, controls and prevents flea infestations on your cat as well as in your cat's day-to-day surroundings. Adult fleas are killed, flea eggs don't hatch, and flea larvae are killed or prevented from developing into adults. Because it's a comprehensive flea treatment, it also controls flea allergy dermatitis.
-
Heartworm, Hookworm and Roundworm:
Revolution enters the bloodstream to prevent ailments related to all three of these insidious parasites.
-
Ear Mites
Revolution treats, controls and prevents intensely irritating ear mite infestations.
Fleas, and the importance of treating surrounding areas
Did you know that the fleas on your cat represent only about 5% of the total flea population your feline friend is living with? So where are the other 95%? They're happily existing in your cat's everyday indoor and outdoor living environments.
Revolution For Cats targets that massive 95% of fleas by hitching a ride on the hair and dander your cat sheds in and around your home. Over time, as the Revolution absorbed into these tissues comes into contact with the fleas, eggs and larvae in those living areas, it either kills them, stops them from hatching, or prevents them from reaching adulthood and continuing their creepy little life cycles. So for once, cat hair is actually a good thing.
