Highlighted Reviews

β€” RUTH

"When Gertie was recovering from depletion from being on the streets for months and had lots of fleas, we could still use it on her because it’s topical. It was important that she get preventative because she was anemic from the fleas."

β€” Emily

"This is supposed to at least protect against dog ticks and my dog has had 2 engorged in the last 60 days, I believe they are dog ticks and so does the vet after telling them what it looked like. My dog has never had a tick before, Almost 7 years old and he has only been on this for 1 year."

Bottom Line

While some users find the Revolution Topical Solution effective and convenient, the high number of negative reviews regarding its ineffectiveness and short duration of protection makes it a less reliable choice for flea and tick prevention in dogs. Consider other products or consult with a vet for better alternatives.
