Revolution® Topical Solution for Dogs

Revolution® is a monthly, topical parasiticide for dogs that helps prevent heartworm disease and controls key external parasites. Pet families seeking reliable flea protection and heartworm prevention can access Revolution for Dog with US delivery from Canada through a trusted, pharmacy‑dispensed channel. Many find it a cost‑effective choice, including households paying without insurance for veterinary prescriptions.

What Revolution® Is and How It Works

Revolution® contains selamectin, an antiparasitic that is absorbed through the skin and circulates systemically. It prevents heartworm disease by targeting heartworm larvae transmitted by mosquitoes. It also kills adult fleas, prevents flea eggs from hatching, and treats and controls ear mites and sarcoptic mange in dogs. At CanadianInsulin, orders are filled by licensed Canadian pharmacies after we confirm a valid prescription with your clinic. This medication is available to US customers with US delivery from Canada, offering a convenient cross‑border option with reliable, pharmacy‑checked supply. Households paying cash without insurance often appreciate the predictable monthly dosing and broad parasite coverage.

Who Revolution® Is For

Revolution is indicated for dogs and puppies at least six weeks of age. It is used for prevention of heartworm disease and for control of fleas and certain mites. Dogs that are ill, underweight, or recovering from severe illness may require additional veterinary assessment before starting any parasiticide. Use with caution in dogs with a history of neurologic disorders. Labeling supports use in breeding, pregnant, and lactating dogs; a veterinarian’s guidance is recommended for those groups. Do not use on cats unless the cat‑specific product is prescribed; see the feline formulation in the related products.

Dosage and Usage

Revolution is applied once monthly to the skin at one site on the back of the neck, in front of the shoulder blades. The dose is weight‑based, provided in pre‑measured, single‑use tubes. Part the hair to expose skin, place the applicator tip directly on the skin, and empty the entire tube. Apply to dry skin on a dry coat. Avoid contact with the treated area until it is dry. Bathing or swimming may be discussed with a veterinarian; label data indicate the product remains effective when used as directed. Do not split tubes or combine multiple animals’ doses. If moving from another heartworm preventive, coordinate timing with veterinary guidance to maintain continuous protection.

Strengths and Forms

Revolution for dogs is supplied as single‑dose, color‑coded tubes in cartons matched to specific body‑weight ranges. Each tube contains a pre‑measured volume of topical solution with selamectin at a fixed concentration. Pack sizes and exact presentations can vary by market and availability. Selection is based on the dog’s current, accurate weight; a veterinary prescription will specify the appropriate carton.

Missed Dose and Timing

If a monthly dose is missed, administer when remembered and continue on a monthly schedule. Consistent monthly use is important for heartworm prevention and flea control. After significant gaps or if heartworm exposure is possible, a veterinarian may recommend testing before restarting preventives. Do not give extra doses to compensate for a missed application unless specifically instructed by a clinician.

Storage and Travel Basics

Store Revolution in the original packaging at room temperature away from heat, open flame, and direct sunlight. Keep tubes in the foil pouches until use. This product is flammable until dry. For travel, keep tubes in a sealed, child‑resistant container and carry a copy of the prescription if needed. When ordering online, you can choose quantities that align with your travel plans; store your supply securely and dispose of empty tubes responsibly.

Benefits

Revolution offers multi‑parasite protection in a single monthly application. Benefits include prevention of heartworm disease, killing adult fleas, preventing flea eggs from hatching, and treatment and control of ear mites and sarcoptic mange. The weight‑based, single‑use tubes simplify dosing, and the topical route avoids the need for tablets for many dogs. Many households value that a single product can address core parasites recommended by preventive care guidelines.

Side Effects and Safety

• Common: Temporary hair clumping, mild hair loss at the application site, brief skin irritation, itchiness, or redness.
• Occasional: Gastrointestinal upset such as soft stool, vomiting, or decreased appetite; transient lethargy.
• Less common: Hypersalivation or drooling if the wet product is licked; keeping pets separated until the site is dry helps avoid incidental ingestion.

Serious reactions are rare. Seek veterinary attention for signs of marked lethargy, incoordination, tremors, persistent vomiting, facial swelling, or difficulty breathing. As with other macrocyclic lactones, caution is appropriate in dogs with a history of neurologic issues. Hypersensitivity reactions may occur in flea‑allergic dogs as adult fleas die post‑application. When used alongside other preventives, veterinary oversight helps avoid overlapping therapies.

Drug Interactions and Cautions

Tell the prescribing veterinarian about all medicines and supplements the dog receives, including other parasite preventives, topical insecticides, or recent steroids. Concurrent use with other macrocyclic lactones, off‑label high‑dose ivermectin, or certain flea adulticides should be supervised. Use only the dog‑specific Revolution tube size prescribed. Do not apply to broken skin. Keep treated animals separated from children and other pets until the site is dry to prevent accidental exposure.

What to Expect Over Time

With regular monthly use, parasite protection remains continuous. Flea control typically reflects rapid adult flea kill after each application and ongoing suppression of egg development. Heartworm prevention acts on larvae acquired in the prior month when the next scheduled dose is given. Dogs with active mite infestations may require multiple monthly applications under veterinary direction to achieve full resolution.

Compare With Alternatives

Product selection depends on a dog’s risk profile, tolerance, and household preferences. For chewable flea and tick control, consider Simparica. For broad intestinal worm coverage plus heartworm prevention in a monthly chewable, see Interceptor Plus. Injectable heartworm prevention administered by a veterinarian may involve Proheart 6. For feline households, related options include Revolution For Cat and Revolution For Puppies Kittens when a young pet shares the home.

Availability and Substitutions

Availability can vary by weight range and pack configuration. If a specific carton is not available, a prescriber may recommend a suitable alternative preventive or an interim refill plan. A veterinary prescription is required for dispensing.

Patient Suitability and Cost‑Saving Tips

Good candidates include dogs six weeks and older needing heartworm prevention alongside flea control or mite treatment. Dogs with known neurologic sensitivities, significant skin disease at the application site, or complex polypharmacy may require an individualized plan. Cost‑saving ideas include selecting multi‑month quantities, aligning all pets on the same refill cycle, and setting reminders to maintain monthly protection and prevent gaps. When ordering online, you can bundle pet supplies to reduce repeat shipments and keep a consistent schedule.

Questions to Ask Your Clinician

• Which weight‑based carton of Revolution best fits my dog’s current weight?
• Should this be combined with a separate tick preventive in our region?
• How soon after bathing can application occur, and when is bathing okay afterward?
• What signs of adverse reaction should prompt a clinic call?
• If a dose is missed or delayed, what steps are recommended for heartworm testing?
• Is Revolution suitable for breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs in this household?
• Would a chewable or injectable alternative be better for our parasite risks?
