Revolution Plus: Broad-spectrum Parasite Protection for Cats

Every cat, indoor or outdoor, needs parasite protection. When your cat is exposed to various types of parasite infestations, an all-inclusive parasite treatment like Revolution Plus for cats can help you keep these nasty pests away. According to Zoetis, Revolution Plus is the most prescribed parasite preventive for cats. It protects cats against fleas, 4 types of ticks, heartworm disease, ear mites, hookworms, roundworms, and tapeworms (as a direct result of killing fleas).

Revolution Plus topical solution is quick-drying and non-greasy, and comes in a small volume for convenient use. This monthly treatment is suitable for cats and kittens aged 8 weeks and above, and weighing at least 2.8 pounds.

Revolution Plus coverage

You may start with your cat’s treatment with this 7-in-1 protection formula at any time of the year. Revolution Plus:

• Kills adult fleas and prevents flea infestations
• Treats and controls tick infestations caused by Lone Star ticks, Gulf Coast ticks, American dog ticks, and Black-legged ticks
• Treats and controls ear mite infestations
• Treats and controls roundworm and hookworm infections
• Helps prevent flea tapeworm infections as a direct result of killing fleas
• Prevents heartworm disease caused by Dirofilaria immitis

How does Revolution Plus work?

Revolution Plus for cats contains two active ingredients: Selamectin and sarolaner. Selamectin disrupts normal neurotransmission in parasites, causing paralysis and death in them. Selamectin targets fleas, flea eggs, ear mites, roundworms, hookworms and heartworms.

Sarolaner causes increased nerve stimulation and death in target parasites, like fleas, ticks and ear mites. Both these ingredients help prevent flea tapeworm infections at the source by killing vector fleas before transmission.
