Frequently asked questions
How Quickly Does Revolution Start Working?
In controlled studies, Revolution killed over 98% of fleas within 36 hours of application, with visible reduction in scratching and fleas typically within 24–48 hours.
Does Revolution Protect Kittens and Puppies Against the Same Parasites?
Not quite. In cats, Revolution treats and prevents fleas, heartworm, ear mites, roundworms, and hookworms. In dogs, Revolution treats and prevents fleas, heartworm, ear mites, sarcoptic mange, and the American Dog Tick. Always check the label for your pet's species before use.
Do I Need a Prescription to Buy Revolution in the USA or Canada?
No. Smartway Pet Supplies ships genuine Revolution from Australia, where it can be legally supplied without a prescription. Customers in the USA, Canada, and other countries do not need a vet visit or prescription upload to place an order.
Is the Mauve Pack the Right Size for My Kitten or Puppy?
The mauve pack is dosed for kittens and puppies weighing up to 5.5 lbs (2.5 kg) — kittens must be at least 8 weeks old and puppies at least 6 weeks old. Once your pet grows beyond 5.5 lbs, move up to the next weight-range pack to ensure they receive the correct dose.
How Do I Apply Revolution?
Firmly press the cap down until you hear a click to puncture the seal, then remove the cap. Part the fur at the base of the neck between the shoulder blades until the skin is visible, and squeeze the entire contents of the tube directly onto the skin in one spot. Avoid contact with the eyes and wash hands thoroughly after application.
Does Bathing or Swimming Affect Revolution?
Revolution is water-resistant once dry. For best results, avoid bathing your pet for 2 hours after application and allow the product to fully dry before any water exposure.
How Often Should I Apply Revolution?
Revolution is applied once every 30 days. For heartworm prevention, apply monthly year-round — particularly important in warmer US and Canadian regions where mosquito season is extended.
Is Revolution Safe for My Kitten or Puppy?
Revolution is approved for kittens 8 weeks of age and older and puppies 6 weeks of age and older, both weighing up to 5.5 lbs. The safe use of Revolution has not been established in breeding, pregnant, or lactating cats and dogs — consult a veterinarian before use in these cases.
