Revolution - do you use this product? - Page 1

What are the pros and cons of using revolution?

Do you use it?  How long?

No and I will never use it..Too many chemicals to put in a dogs body..I  do not let any body that buys my pups use it either..  I had a friends son who is studying research in animal husbandry and they did some research on the combination of chemistry on this revolution and told me the would never use it...He emailed his  mom to not let her vet sell it to her either...

Many of the vets here will sell it, but  my vet told me not to use it...

JA

I had to respond to this post. My vet talked me into into using Revolution. All 6 of my dogs got terrible ear infections! I will never use it again.

Good morning to all,I have used this for years cause its a heart worm preventative as well asa preventative for  fleas,ear mites,ticks  and certain worms.I have not had any problems with it and I do use it on both my boys and a third family dog.Have a great day.

Revolution prevents ticks? My vet gave it to my female puppy week later she had two ticks enjoying her blood very close to the place he admited Revolution, stay away, this thing dose not work on ticks for "shit"!!!!! I would not let any vet use that product again.

I had a miniature Poodle and I used Revolution on her. It did prevent flees for a short while, but then she had an ear infection. The vet prescribed a medication which was some kind of ointment, and I can't remember its name now. My dog lost her hearing later, and my vet said that the medication he prescribed to me turned out to cause damage to the ear!

Keykat, you mentioned ear infection! I didn't know that it might have related to Revolution!

For heart worm prevention I use Ivomec, for ticks, etc I use nematodes. You can put DE on your dog and that should take care of the problem as well. I have never used DE in that manor though, but know of a few people that have. Since I've been using nematodes I've never had to use any of that chemical stuff on my dog's.
