Although not necessary to know exactly how revolution for Cats works or what the active ingredients are it is still a good idea to know what we are putting on our animals.
What Is Revolution For Cats?
Revolution for our Cats is a broad spectrum parasiticide. It contains the active ingredient Selamectin which will actively fight heartworm in Cats as well as prevent fleas in all their stages as well as ear mites, roundworms and hookworms.
Revolution for Cats without a prescription is the most efficient way to treat Cats for all these common ailments. There is no other application available that treats so effectively for so many problems. Many Cat owners use multiple medications for these problems not realising that revolution can treat for all of them in one topical application.
How Revolution For Cats Works
Revolution is applied to the skin of Cats. It then enters the bloodstream and the active ingredient selamectin then travels around the bloodstream and prevents heartworms from growing. Revolution will also be aborbed, via the bloodstream to the skin of Cats. There it will protect against fleas in all their stages, worms and ear mites.
No other Cat medication is as efficient at keeping your Cat free of parasites and heartworms.
It is especially important to give Cats heartworm protection as they cannot be effectively treated for adult heartworms in the way that Dogs can.
