My cat gets Revolution. Can I add Frontline Plus for tick prevention?

Since Frontline plus is a different type of flea preventive (fipronil + a larval development inhibitor) from Revolution (an avermectin) there should be no problem. There is no adverse interaction reported that I could find.

Hi there I'm sorry to hear about Finn's troubles. From what I know Revolution and frontline can ve safely combined. Just be sure that if you bath Finn you wait the appropriate amount of time afterwards before applying the Revolution. I usually recommend 2 days.

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear that Negrito is having a flea problem. Since Frontline Plus and Revolution are 2 totally different products, you can apply the Revolution now and not wait until the full month is done. You shouldn't see any problems and if you do, I would advise calling your vet. Very occasionally cats and dogs will have problems with one topical product and not another. Just make sure that you apply it correctly right up over the neck where Negrito can't lick it off as soon as it is applied. Good luck and I hope Revolution works well for him. I do believe we are starting to see some problems with Frontline as I have witnessed the same problem last summer when using Frontline.

You are correct, revolution will not kill ticks and is only effective against fleas, heartworm,intestinal roundworm, hookworm and ear mites. If ticks are a threat in your area than a product containing fipronil (frontline spray) can be used after 10-14days When next treatment is due, discuss broader treatments with your vet including broadline (ticks, fleas and worms) spot on or using separate internal and external parasite preventions to treat fleas/ticks and worms separately to ensure all risks are covered

I'm sorry to hear about your issue with Cheyletiella. They are a bothersome parasite to deal with! Apply Revolution every 2 weeks for 3 treatments (use appropriate dose for your kittens' weight). You can use Frontline Plus as well if you feel you aren't getting the results you wanted at the dosage of Revolution stated above. Fontline Plus can be applied every 2 weeks at the correct dose based off body weight for this problem. You should also use a lime silver dip or topical flea product to clean the kittens. Diluted bleach 1 part bleach:9 parts water sprayed on all surfaces and allows to sit for 10 minutes before wiping clean should help. All bedding and toys should be washed in hot water or thrown away. Good luck and thank you for contacting me today!

It is generally ok to apply these two different topical medications 15 days apart but I would make sure that your kitten is at least 8 weeks old before using a fipronil based product. Good luck, those mites always make me feel itchy, I feel for you and your kitten!

Hi yes you can use both treatments on Daphne but i suggest separating the application by two weeks. You can also consider using a product like Proheart6 - an injectable heartworm prevention given at the vet hospital that lasts for 6mths. I find that revolution works well for fleas, but doesn't cover all types of ticks. Hope this helps!
