I am shopping for products for pet flea treatment and control, and someone recommended Revolution (selamectin). Can you give me more information about the Revolution pet flea control product?

Certainly, Revolution is a spot on topical treatment for your cat or dog applied once a month that protects against fleas, heartworms, ear mites, sarcoptic mange, and ticks. Against fleas, Revolution not only kills adult fleas but also prevents flea eggs from hatching to interrupt their life cycle. Revolution is highly effective and only available as a prescription product from your veterinarian.

To apply Revolution, you simply squeeze a tube of the product onto the shoulder blade of your pet once a month. This flea treatment product from Revolution dries quickly and is waterfast, and once the product is dry you can play with your pet as normal. Revolution has even done studies testing the product and shown that the flea control remains effective even if the pet is bathed 2 hours after application.

Revolution works by being absorbed through the skin of your pet into the bloodstream. The concentrations of the Revolution medicine in the blood and body tissues will protect your pet from heartworms. Similarly, the blood will redistribute the medicine throughout the skin and protect your loved pet from ticks, fleas, flea eggs, and other external parasites.

Revolution is not any sort of insecticide spray that the EPA has warned against. The most common side effect of Revolution (appearing in less than 1% of dogs) is stomach upset, so do not use Revolution on sick or underweight pets. Revolution guarantees your satisfaction with their flea treatment and flea control product. Revolution offers their FDA-approved products for both cats and dogs, so be sure to act your pet veterinarian about Revolution (selamectin).

Revolution (selamectin) is designed and manufactured by Pfizer Animal Health, who has been providing quality health products for humans and animals since its founding in 1849. Pfizer’s passion of the wellness and health of animals is demonstrated by their constant research and development of highly effective and quality products to help them.

How do I pick the right flea treatment or flea control product for my pet and home?

For picking the right safe and effective pet flea control treatment for your pet and home, the first place to start is with your veterinarian. Your veterinarian can recommend a safe and effective flea treatment product brand along with the right doses and instructions for usage. If you have any questions about any particular product or solution, be sure to ask your veterinarian and another appropriate expert. You can also ask other pet owners, friends, and family for their experiences with certain flea treatment medicine and get their recommendations.

Another way to approach is is you can also read reviews of the different flea treatment products on the web and see which ones pet owners have had success with and would recommend. Reading web reviews is also a good way to identify pet flea control products that people have not had good experiences with. We had a reader submit a review on the a pet flea product called Sentry Pro XFC that he bought at Petsmart thinking that all their products would be safe. His dog had such a severe reaction to this product (wheezing, trouble breathing, and general body aches leading to insomnia) that he rushed to wash the product off and take him to the emergency room. When he searched for the product on the web later on, he found that there were many pet owners complaining about the dangers of this product; if he had done this research ahead of time, he could have avoided this potentially dangerous and fatal pet flea product.

To help out with flea problems or infestations inside the home you can think about some of the products mentioned about. The best approach is probably to find different pest control and exterminators companies to get their expertise. Many of these flea control companies will send a technician out to your home or place of business to assess the problem and offer quotes for different solutions they have. Some pet owners will opt for regular monthly or periodic flea spray services for pets that are particularly prone to flea issues or live in areas that may have more fleas. You should also ask friends and family for their experiences with different pest control or flea exterminator companies to get their impressions, experiences, and recommendations.

Getting all the information you can about certain flea treatment medicine and flea control solutions will allow you to make the most educated decision you can about picking the right solution for your pet and home.

How do I get the best deal for the flea treatment and control product that I choose?

Our best suggestion is to shop, shop, shop around. Once you know what product you want, there are so many different retailers and stores especially online. You can shop around to get the best prices and look for special deals like quantity discounts, automatic reordering, free shipping, coupons, price match, or any other special deals. One word of caution: you need to also be aware of disreputable web companies which may sell fake, expired, or imitation doses of different flea treatment products. It is often difficult to distinguish these from the real thing. So, the only thing to consider is not price only. You want to be sure you are choosing a reputable seller with a customer service and reputation. A good place to check out certain companies, distributors, and websites is to verify their status with the Better Business Bureau to make sure that there are not outstanding complaints against them and that they strive to resolve any customer disputes.
