There is a difference between the Revolution for Cats and the Revolution for Dogs. They contain the same ingredient, but the main difference between the two types of Revolution is the concentration of Selamectin in each dosage is different.
Animals which weigh more, such as young animals and small breeds require a lower concentration, while larger cat breeds and dogs need a higher concentration. There can be problem, if you use the lower dosage on a large dog, as it will not provide complete protection.
If so, you might be interested to learn more about the pet medicine called Revolution. What Is Revolution? Revolution has been developed by the pharmaceutical firm Bayer to provide pet owners with an easy, safe and effective way of protecting their pets from a range of parasites. Containing a medicine called selamectin, the main use of Revolution is to eliminate the risk of heartworm infection, as well as preventing certain other parasites including fleas and lice. How To Use Revolution Revolution is famous for being the first topical treatment for heartworm infection.
Topical application simply means that the product is place directly on to the skin of the animal which is being treated. It is very important that the cat products should only be used for cats, and the dog products for dogs. Advantage has formulations approved for both dogs and cats, while the product Advantix is intended for use in dogs only.
Advantix causes permethrin toxicity in cats, which is a common emergency, especially during the spring and summer months, when fleas are at their peak of peskiness. It is available in colour coded, single dose tubes for topical dermal treatment of dogs and cats beginning at six weeks of age. The difference between flea control products for dogs and cats is a chemical called permethrin.
According to the Pet Poison Helpline, this chemical is very safe for dogs and is common in flea sprays and drops.
Cats, though, are especially sensitive to it and many of its variants. Ask about oral flea-prevention treatments. Pills with the active ingredients lufenuron, nitenpyram, or spinosad can be a better option, for both animals and humans, than treatments that leave residue on fur that might get on hands or furniture. Advocate flea and worm treatment is for external use on cats and dogs, kittens from 9 weeks and puppies from 7 weeks of age.
Besides fleas, there are a few other pests that these two medications cover. However, Revolution covers a much wider range of pests. First, Revolution handles heartworms, a widespread problem with dogs.
It offers coverage from ticks as well. It extends to common parasites such as scabies and ear mites. Advantage is targeted primarily to flea infestations. Advantage is widely available over the counter. You can also order it online for easier availability. Revolution is available only through a prescription. These are very rare, but you should check with your veterinarian if you notice anything different about your pet.
Selamectin is a neurotoxin that acts on fleas to paralyze them and prevent them from eating. Ones that come in contact slowly die and fall off your pet over time. Imidacloprid actually mimics nicotine , a substance naturally toxic to insects. The flea usually dies before completing the reproductive cycle, slowly eliminating the flea population.
Overall, we strongly recommend Revolution because your pet needs a comprehensive treatment for a variety of pets including fleas, ticks, and internal pests like heartworms. If your pet has particularly sensitive skin, you might consider Advantage. There are a few things you can do to make treating your pet and keeping it comfortable a little easier.
You can do a lot to make applying the product easier. If your pet is nervous, you can get it all over you and make it really difficult for you to get it applied correctly. If your pet gets anxious during application, you might think about keeping treats or other toys it likes.
Each time you apply the product, give your pet the treat or toy so that it begins to associate good things with each treatment.
