  • For dogs over 130 lbs use the appropriate combination of tubes.

  • A veterinarian or veterinary technician should demonstrate or instruct the pet owner regarding the appropriate technique for applying Revolution topically to dogs and cats prior to first use.

  • Firmly press the cap down to puncture the seal on the Revolution tube; a clicking sound will confirm that the cap has successfully punctured the seal.

  • Remove the cap and check to ensure that the tip of the tube is open.

  • To administer the product, part the hair on the back of the animal at the base of the neck in front of the shoulder blades until the skin is visible.

  • Place the tip of the tube on the skin and squeeze the tube 3 or 4 times to empty its entire contents directly onto the skin in one spot.

  • Keeping the tube squeezed, drag it away from the liquid and lift to remove.

  • Check the tube to ensure that it is empty. Do not massage the product into the skin. Due to alcohol content, do not apply to broken skin.

  • Avoid contact between the product and fingers.

  • Do not apply when the haircoat is wet.

  • Bathing or shampooing the dog 2 or more hours after treatment will not reduce the effectiveness of Revolution against fleas or heartworm. Bathing or shampooing the cat 2 hours after treatment will not reduce the effectiveness of Revolution against fleas. Bathing or shampooing the cat 24 hours after treatment will not reduce the effectiveness of Revolution against heartworm.

  • Stiff hair, clumping of hair, hair discoloration, or a slight powdery residue may be observed at the treatment site in some animals.

  • These effects are temporary and do not affect the safety or effectiveness of the product. Discard empty tubes in your ordinary household refuse.
