How Revolution works
Revolution simply works inside and out.
Once you've applied it, Revolution For Dogs is quickly absorbed into your pet's bloodstream, killing any heartworm larvae throughout the body. As it moves into your dog's skin and hair, it gets down to the business of killing fleas and other external parasites. Revolution For Dogs will then continue to protect your dog for an entire month, regardless of how long your dog's hair is or the number of baths your dog has in that time. After the month is up, a new dose needs to be applied.
If you’ve administered Revolution For Dogs correctly and in line with the recommended dosing schedule, you and your dog can rely on protection from the following:
-
Fleas
Revolution treats, controls and prevents flea infestations on your dog as well as in your dog’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. As a comprehensive flea treatment, it also controls flea allergy dermatitis.
-
Heartworm
Revolution enters the bloodstream to prevent heartworm disease and related ailments.
-
Sarcoptic Mange
Revolution treats, controls and prevents this highly contagious and irritating skin disease by killing the mites that cause it.
-
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 dog represent only about 5% of the total flea population your dog is living with? So where are the other 95%? They’re happily existing in your dog's everyday indoor and outdoor living environments.
Revolution For Dogs hunts down that massive 95% of fleas by hitching a ride on the hair and dander your dog sheds in and around your home. The Revolution absorbed into these tissues comes into contact with the fleas, eggs and larvae in those living areas, killing them, stopping them from hatching, and preventing them from reaching adulthood and continuing their creepy little life cycles. So for once, dog hair is actually a good thing.
