How to Apply Revolution for Dogs
We’ve all heard the expression about killing 2 birds with one stone. But hey, who really wants to kill birds in the first place? We’ve yet to hear of a bird that’s a bloodsucker or one that can lead to congestive heart failure. The only thing with wings you’ll probably want to kill is a mosquito, and that’s because they bite and draw blood. Fleas do the same thing to pets, and mosquito bites on dogs and cats can lead to heartworm disease. But Revolution is the all-in-one pet parasite solution and how to apply Revolution for dogs is super simple.
Indeed, for a combination flea and worm killer medication you don’t need to look any further, and this isn’t even a 3-in-1 product. It’s a 5-in-1 because Revolution kills roundworms, hookworms, and ear mites too. Heartworms are definitely the dastardliest of worms though, and ensuring your dog or cat never gets even one mosquito bite is 100% impossible. Selamectin is the chemical assassin in Revolution, or its active ingredient if that’s a little too dramatic a term. But neuromuscular paralysis sounds like a pretty epic way to send parasites to their demise, so chemical assassin it is.
But to get to how to apply Revolution for dogs, the first thing you need to know is that you only need to apply this topical flea and worm killer once a month. For the remaining 29 or 30 days, you don’t even need to think about killing fleas or killing worms. And you can be kind to birds the whole year long! But in all seriousness, here’s what you need to know about how to apply Selamectin for dogs.
Between The Blades – Every Time
Skeletons may be different in size, but structurally they’re the same within species, and every dog and cat has one. So, they’ll all have collarbones and shoulder blades, and that is where we will start with how to apply Revolution for dogs. Right at the base of the spine and between the shoulder blades is where you will apply this topical flea-killer solution. Unless you’ve got a Sphynx cat or another hairless breed of pet, here’s what you’ll do.
Part the fur right at the middle point there, and ensure that you have a clear spot of skin to apply this flea and tick preventative medication. Crack open one applicator vial and turn it over so that the dispenser tip is directly over the exposed skin location. Now squeeze it slowly until the entirety of the solution is placed directly on the skin. Wait until it is absorbed into the skin on its own – do not attempt to work it in with your fingers, and you should try to avoid touching the solution.
That’s all you need to know how to apply Revolution for dogs. And yes, hairless cats can get fleas, and that applies to hairless dog breeds too. No matter what breed of dog or cat you have, make sure they get the medication they need so that fleas or parasitic worms don’t stand a chance.
