Can I use Revolution for dog ticks and fleas, or do I need more?

Revolution isn't licensed for all ticks so if ticks are a problem then I do recommend using both. You could also consider an oral flea and tick product like Naxguard or Brevecto as well if Lucy's skin becomes irritated using both topical products at the same time.

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

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!

Congratulations on your new dog! I like Revolution if you are looking for a topical product. It consistently works well and is well tolerated. If you like the idea of an oral product better, I like Trifexis (it’s another all in one product). Sometimes though the pets can smell the Trifexis and they won’t eat it. In that instance, I like Simparica and Interceptor. My personal preference is oral products. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Those two products are usually fine to use together. However in some very sensitive dogs that could cause muscle tremors and shaking. I would wait at least 2-3 days after applying the Revolution before placing a collar on Cadbury. If he has any tremors/shaking remove the collar and alert your veterinarian. If revolution is not working for your flea/tick control you could consider adding on nexguard which is an oral flea and tick medication or even a Seresto collar.

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.

He doesn't need both Bravecto and Revolution at the same time. I would instead switch him to a heartworm preventative only such as Heartgard or Triheart and give him Bravecto for flea/tick coverage. Revolution does heartworm and fleas really well but just not ticks, so in order to get full coverage I would just do them separate. Another option would be to do Revolution and a Preventic collar which will give you good tick coverage. Lyme vaccine is a 1 year vaccination, I am not sure why they told you this is a 1 time thing. I would request your pet get the Lyme (Borrelia burgdorferi )vaccine annually as it is recommended by the AAHA vaccine guidelines. Here is a link to their website as well. Scroll to page 6 for information on the Lyme vaccine in particular--> https://www.aaha.org/globalassets/02-guidelines/canine-vaccination/vaccination_recommendation_for_general_practice_table.pdf I hope that this helps and best of luck with your pet Asher and keeping her protected. Take care. : )
