Why Choose Revolution for Dogs?
Revolution for Dogs is a convenient monthly spot-on treatment designed to protect dogs against several common parasites with a single application. Containing selamectin, Revolution is absorbed through the skin and distributed throughout the body to provide protection against fleas and selected internal and external parasites.
Unlike flea-only treatments, Revolution provides broader parasite coverage while remaining simple to administer. The topical application is ideal for dogs that dislike chewable tablets or owners who prefer an easy monthly spot-on solution.
Monthly use helps control flea infestations, treats ear mites and assists with the treatment of common intestinal roundworms. Suitable for puppies from 6 weeks of age, Revolution provides reliable parasite control throughout every stage of life.

Active Ingredient
Selamectin
Selamectin is absorbed through the skin after application and provides protection against several important internal and external parasites with one monthly dose.
Broad Parasite Protection
Revolution combines flea control with protection against selected internal and external parasites in one convenient monthly spot-on treatment. By reducing the need for multiple products, it helps make routine parasite prevention simpler for many dog owners.
Easy Monthly Spot-On Application
Revolution is applied directly to the skin once each month. The topical application makes it an excellent option for dogs that dislike chewable tablets or owners who prefer not to administer oral medications.
Effective Flea Control
Monthly treatment rapidly kills adult fleas and helps prevent ongoing flea infestations. Consistent flea control also plays an important role in reducing flea allergy dermatitis in sensitive dogs.
Treats Ear Mites
Ear mites are a common cause of itchy ears and head shaking. Revolution treats ear mite infestations as part of its broad parasite coverage, helping restore comfort without requiring a separate treatment.
Suitable For Puppies
Revolution can be used from 6 weeks of age, allowing parasite protection to begin early as puppies become increasingly active and exposed to parasites.
Systemic Protection
Unlike products that remain primarily on the skin, selamectin is absorbed into the bloodstream after application. This allows it to provide protection against approved internal as well as external parasites.
Simple Monthly Routine
One application each month provides consistent parasite protection and fits easily into your dog's regular healthcare schedule.
Trusted Veterinary Brand
Revolution has been used worldwide for many years and remains a trusted veterinary parasite treatment because of its broad coverage, ease of use and proven safety profile when used according to the label.
