Revolution Plus Topical Solution for Small Cats & Kittens (2.8-5.5 lbs)

Revolution Plus Gold Tube for Complete 7-in-1 Parasite Coverage in Small Cats and Kittens

Product Description

Revolution Plus (selamectin and sarolaner) Gold is a prescription-strength, quick-drying monthly topical solution precisely formulated for the smallest feline patients, including kittens and small cats weighing 2.8 to 5.5 lbs. Each gold-capped tube contains a compact 0.25 mL dose delivering 15 mg selamectin and 2.5 mg sarolaner, calibrated specifically for safe and effective use in very small and young cats from 8 weeks of age. One monthly application to the base of the neck covers fleas, four tick species, ear mites, heartworm disease, roundworms, and hookworms, while also helping keep flea tapeworm infections at bay, removing the need to juggle multiple separate treatments.

Benefits

• Kitten Safe: Suitable for kittens aged 8 weeks and up, weighing at least 2.8 lbs, offering some of the earliest parasite cover available.
• Gold Tube Dose: The gold-coded 0.25 mL tube puts 15 mg selamectin and 2.5 mg sarolaner right where very small cats need it.
• Kills Fleas Before Egg Laying: Eliminates adult fleas on the treated kitten before they can produce eggs, stopping new infestations at the source and breaking the flea lifecycle.
• Controls Four Tick Species: The only prescription combination preventative for cats controlling Lone Star, Gulf Coast, American Dog, and Black-legged ticks for a full month in a single application.
• Ear Mite Treatment and Control: Treats and controls Otodectes cynotis (ear mite) infestations, making it especially valuable for newly adopted kittens commonly affected by this condition.
• Heartworm and Internal Worm Protection: Prevents heartworm disease and treats and controls roundworm (Toxocara cati) and intestinal hookworm (Ancylostoma tubaeforme) infections in small cats and kittens.
• Flea Tapeworm Prevention: By killing the Ctenocephalides felis vector fleas on the treated cat, Revolution Plus also prevents Dipylidium caninum (flea tapeworm) infections.
• No Pills or Gloves Needed: The quick-drying, small-volume formula requires no gloves for application and eliminates the challenge of giving oral medications to kittens, making monthly dosing simple.

How to Use

Directions for Use

• Prescription Needed: Revolution Plus is vet-restricted, so always get a valid prescription before buying or giving it to your cat.
• Puncture the Seal: With the tube upright, press the cap down firmly until a click confirms the seal is open, then remove the cap.
• Apply to Skin: Part the fur at the base of the neck, expose the skin, and squeeze the full tube contents onto that one spot.
• Do Not Rub In: After emptying the tube, drag it away while still squeezed and lift to remove; do not massage the solution into the skin, as this is not required for absorption.
• Dry Coat Only: Never apply Revolution Plus to wet fur or broken skin; avoid getting the solution on your fingers during application and wash hands thoroughly after use.
• Bathing After Application: Bathing or shampooing the cat at least 24 hours after applying does not reduce the effectiveness of selamectin against heartworm disease.
• Monthly Year-Round: Give once every 30 days all year, starting at least a month before mosquito season kicks in for heartworm cover.
• Treat All Household Pets: Since tapeworm infections can occur through ingesting fleas from untreated animals, it is recommended that all pets in the home receive appropriate flea control treatment.
