Revolution also known as Stronghold (selamectin) is a topical parasiticide for the treatment of fleas, American Dog tick, ear mites and heartworms in dogs and cats, and intestinal worms in cats.

Both Stronghold and Revolution are manufactured by Pfizer and made in the same factory, yet are marketed under different names in various parts of the world. The formulation and dose size are identical (Pfizer Animal Health is now Zoetis).

Revolution works by penetrating the skin and entering your pet's bloodstream. Concentrations of selamectin, the active ingredient, in the tissue and bloodstream prevent heartworm disease. Selamectin also redistributes into the skin from the bloodstream and kills adult fleas, American dog ticks, and ear mites, and prevents flea eggs from hatching. It is also an anthelmintic, which means it fights to expel parasitic worms. Parasites ingest the drug when they feed on the animal's blood. Revolution is safe for pregnant and lactating pets.

I chose Revolution, as the first pest control for my Min Pin, since she was old enough to take it. One application a month for all her pest control needs seemed like a no brainer. We are both very happy. She's healthy, happy, and no scratching, and I have no fleas in our home. I'm confident this product works and isn't harmful. Bella will be using REVOLUTION for ever.

This product is excellent for protecting my two Border Terriers against heartworms and for fleas. I have used Revolution on them for over ten years with wonderful success. They always test clear for heartworms and have never experienced the annoyance of fleas regardless of where we have traveled, vacations and dog shows. It is not injested and only has to be applied once a month.

This is the best product I've found for fleas. And I like that it's effective for ticks and heartworm as well. In past years, I've used other products, but with much less effectiveness. My vet said it can take several weeks for the other products I've used to build up their effectiveness in the cat's system. Meanwhile, on nice days when we take her outside on a leash, she brought fleas back into the house. They got into the carpet and furniture, and were biting the people in the house too. With Revolution, the fleas were gone within DAYS. And ticks seem to be more prevalent in our area now, thanks to irresponsible people dropping off cats in our rural area. Yet my cat has avoided being a host to them.

used Revolution on my cat for flea prevention, and she never once had a flea on her. She was an inside/outside cat, so a cat without fleas is always wonderful. I, now, use Revolution for my new dog, Jack. Revolution takes care of fleas AND heartworms. It is easy to apply to the back of his neck, and it dries fairly quickly. He has sensitive skin, and Revolution does not cause any kind of rash or irritation. SO happy there is a great product out there like Revolution that combines heartworm and flea prevention.

I have used Revolution for twelve years on one dog and ten on my other dog and would not use any other product, so I hope they keep making it. When our vet stopped carrying Revolution, we had to use a variety of products for flea and tick and heartworm control, and my Siberian husky, Laika, developed sarcoptic mange. We went back to Revolution and have never had another problem. We live in the South, where ticks are common, but they never are a problem for my dogs. It's the most complete and effective preventative I have ever used.
