Revolution
Aside from the very popular Heartgard Plus from Merial, there is another drug that is quite promising when it comes to eliminating the heartworm larvae. This drug is known as Revolution for Dogs. Unlike Heartgard Plus and other heartworm preventative medications, the Revolution comes in a simple topical solution. Dogs no longer need to take in a pill. It is very easy to apply on dogs too. This is surely a heartworm preventative that is worth every penny.
Although this medicine is known to treat different kinds of parasitic diseases, the Revolution mainly functions as a heartworm preventative. This means that it is quite good in getting rid of the heartworm larvae found in the bloodstream of infected animals. Although it is not advisable to use such drug on advanced stages of heartworm disease, this drug is still quite popular nowadays. Many people prefer this medication over other similar drugs today.
Aside from being a good heartworm preventative medication, Revolution is pretty effective against fleas too. It is a fact that fleas are the no.1 health problem on dogs. More and more dogs today are suffering from such an annoying dog disease. And fleas are indeed very hard to control. That’s why a lot of pet owners today are very thankful for the existence of Revolution. Now we can treat both the heartworm infestation and the flea problem, using only one kind of medication.
But this doesn't stop here. The Revolution is used for many other kinds of parasitic infestation commonly found among dogs. One particular disease it targets is the tick infestation. As of the moment, there are several kinds of ticks found among dogs. Unfortunately, these ticks are known to be carriers of many human diseases. One best example is the deer tick which causes the Lyme disease. Ticks indeed bring a great threat to the health of our lovely pets.
You probably have noticed, the Revolution for Dogs is known to treat both the external and internal parasites. How is this possible? Since Revolution is a topical treatment, it works by penetrating the skin of the animal. The medication is absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream. The active ingredient for this drug is none other than selamectin. Presence of this ingredient on tissues and in the bloodstream makes it capable for eliminating the heartworm larvae. But selamectin is then redistributed to the skin, making it an effective flea and tick killer.
The selamectin is also found to be an effective antihelminthic. This means that Revolution addresses the intestinal worm problem among dogs too. This is truly the perfect antiparasitic drug available in the market these days. It’s an easy, all around solution for any parasitic disease that affects dogs of any age. Well, we can really expect nothing less from such drug since it is a product of the Pfizer Animal Health, one of the most prestigious pet medicine manufacturers today.
If your dogs are suffering from any of the parasitic diseases mentioned, be sure to start the Revolution treatment as soon as possible.
