Revolution Topical Solution for Kittens & Puppies

While many other flea and tick medications can only be used in pups at least 8 weeks old, Revolution monthly topical can be safely used for 6-week-old puppies and dogs who are under 5 pounds. Along with killing fleas and ticks, it offers protection against a broad spectrum of parasites including heartworms, ear mites, and intestinal parasites.

“I commonly prescribe this medication to young kittens or puppies as a broad-spectrum preventative that is safe for younger animals,” says Dr. Zarella. 

Always ensure the medication is completely dry before letting other pets or kids come into contact with the pup. Additionally, a recovery collar may be necessary to keep on your pup while the medication waits to dry—so your pup doesn’t also lick the medicated area.
