Are flea meds that prevent heartworms truly enough for my dog?
You are very welcome! For most pets, Revolution is fine for heartworm prevention unless your area is experiencing very high levels of heartworm exposure or immunity to the product. Call your veterinarian and ask if there is a specific reason that he/she recommends an additional heartworm prevention. It’s always best to gather all the information! Also make sure to remind them she is on Revolution. Please feel free to post any additional questions.

My cat has tapeworms. Does Revolution Plus kill them or prevent them?
Revolution Plus will not kill tapeworms. You will need to have Bella Blue seen by your veterinarian for confirmation and for treatment with an appropriate medication. Get her back onto flea medication and use it for at least 3 consecutive months (to break the flea life cycle) or, preferably, year round. You will likely need to treat the house as well. Vacuum everywhere and dispose of the bag or empty the canister outdoors immediately after. Wash all bedding in the hottest water allowable by fabric and dry in the dryer. Use an area treatment, such as Indorex or Knockout, to prevent reinfestation. You will need to keep her out of living areas until the area treatment is completely dry.

Is Revolution a safe and effective flea, mite, worm medicine for cats?
You received a highly effective preventive medication which also covers mites besides the ones you mentioned. Realize that your kitties probably are stressed out with the two moves, one away from the person they loved (yes hoarder kitties are loved too, and love their owner) to the shelter and then from the shelter to you. Give them lots of TLC and they will get used to their new home soon.
