Revolution Dog Medicine is a topical treatment. This means it is applied in liquid form to the skin of your dog. The liquid is oil based and quickly dries to leave a waterproof flea control product. On the skin of your dog, Revolution kills fleas, ticks, chewing lice and ear mites. This means it protects your dog against a variety of disease these external parasites can bring with them including sarcoptic mange and Lyme’s disease. Once the Revolution Medicine soaks into the skin, it is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream and the surrounding tissue. This is where it gets to work preventing heartworm disease. It does this by destroying all larval stage heartworms in the blood.
Revolution Dog Medicine, used every month will ensure heartworm disease never occurs, and that external parasites are totally under control. It is extremely mild with side effects being extremely rare. Less than 1% of dogs experience a mild stomach upset. But, whether you should use Revolution Dog Medicine really depends on your location. The need for heartworm medicine should be the deciding factor prior to buying Revolution Dog Medicine, as there are cheaper alternatives if prevention of heartworm is not a concern.
