Is it safe to use Revolution and Frontline together for kitten mites?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Hi I have Kitten infected with cheyletiella mites , i used 2 doses of revolution kitten 15mg , still there is some infection left , i bought frontline ( fipronil ) so i want to know if its safe to use selamectin and fipronil together ? if not together can i use each separately with certain period between each dose ? last dose of selamectin was about 15 days so is it safe to apply fipronil now , also for older cats inside for protection , also what can i use safely to clean the infected kennel

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!
