Simply wash your hands after applying and continue spending time with your cat as usual. No wonder it's vets’ #1 choice in feline parasite protection!¹
One monthly dose protects your cat against 6 common parasites.
Safe for cats and kittens as young as 8 weeks of age, weighing 2.8 lbs or greater.

Why Your Cat Needs Parasite Protection

Parasites are NOT “outdoor-only.” Any cat or kitten can regularly come in contact with harmful pests. Parasites hitchhike indoors on other pets and creatures, on your shoes and clothes, or through doors and windows.

Revolution Plus safely protects cats and kittens as young as 8 weeks of age from common parasites such as:

Fleas

Why should I care about fleas?

Fleas can hitchhike indoors on your cat, other pets or creatures, on shoes and clothes, or get inside through doors and windows.
Tapeworms and fleas tend to go hand in hand. That's because fleas can host tapeworms—and then give them to your cat. So when you keep your cat protected from fleas, you help reduce their risk from tapeworms.³
Flea bites can cause intense itching and allergies. This scratching can lead to hair loss and uncomfortable skin irritations.³

In two clinical studies, one dose of Revolution Plus killed 100% of adult fleas for a full 5 weeks.²⁰ In a separate study, Revolution Plus started killing fleas within 6 hours of re-infestations.²⁰

Ticks

Why should I care about ticks?

Ticks can be found anywhere in the United States—any time of year in both rural and urban environments⁹
Ticks can spread several diseases in cats^9,11
They can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions^9,11

Revolution Plus kills 3 types of ticks for a full month after one dose, including black-legged ticks (a.k.a. deer ticks) American dog ticks and Gulf Coast ticks.^6,7 Effective results sustained for up to 5 weeks for black-legged or deer tick and American dog tick.^6,8

Ear mites

Why should I care about ear mites?

These “hitchhikers” can invade your home on other pets and cause severe irritation, including:¹²

Red, itchy, painful ears
Dark brown discharge in the ears
Inflamed ears that could lead to rash or other skin reactions
Damage to the ears caused by excessive scratching
Transmission to other cats and pets through direct contact

In a clinical study, Revolution Plus killed over 99% of ear mites for a full month after one dose.²⁰

Roundworms

Why should I care about roundworms?

Roundworms get into your home—and into your cat— through contaminated soil, the dirt on your shoes, or infected prey like rodents or bugs^14,15
Major roundworm infections in cats can cause vomiting, weight loss, hair changes and a potbellied appearance^14,15

In a clinical study, Revolution Plus reduced nearly 100% of roundworm eggs after a single dose.¹³

Hookworms

Why should I care about hookworms?

Hookworms can cause anemia, weight loss, and diarrhea in infected cats¹⁶
Severe hookworm infections can be fatal, especially in kittens¹⁶

In a clinical study, Revolution Plus reduced over 99% of hookworm eggs after a single dose.¹³

Heartworms

Why should I care about heartworms?

At least 1 in 4 cats with heartworm disease were classified as indoor-only¹⁷
Heartworm disease in cats isn’t just serious—it can be fatal^17,18
Just 1 bite from an infected mosquito can give your cat heartworms¹⁸
Even when it isn’t deadly, heartworm infection in cats can cause permanent lung damage known as heartworm-associated respiratory disease (HARD)^18,19
Heartworm disease can be difficult to diagnose in cats, but is easy to prevent

In TWO clinical studies, Revolution Plus was 100% effective in preventing heartworm disease.²⁰

: My cat only lives indoors. Is parasite protection necessary?
Parasites are not outdoor-only. Fleas, ticks, ear mites, intestinal worms, and mosquitos that transmit heartworms can get into any home. Parasites hitchhike indoors on other pets or creatures, on shoes and clothes, or get inside through doors and windows.

With one monthly dose, Revolution Plus provides broad-spectrum coverage against common pests that both indoor and outdoor cats need.
: Are ticks common in cats?
Though certain ticks are more prominent in certain areas (i.e., Gulf Coast tick in southeastern and mid-Atlantic states; American dog tick east of the Rocky Mountains and Pacific coast; black-legged or deer tick across eastern U.S.), cat parents should be vigilant with year-round tick and other pest protection in all 50 states to ensure cats of all lifestyles (indoor-only, indoor/outdoor, outdoor-only) are properly protected with broad-spectrum preventative medicine such as Revolution Plus.
