Topical treatments are a typical way to deal with ticks and fleas on your pet, but new formulas on the market provide a more broad-spectrum product that will also prevent heartworm and other intestinal parasites. Revolution and Advantage Multi are two of these spot-on treatments, so how do they compare?

RevoluçãoeAdvantage Multi are both spot-on treatments with monthly dosing schedule. They kill adult fleas - helping to control infestations by preventing them from laying new eggs - and prevent heartworm from developing.

As with all heartworm preventatives, these are not evaluated as safe for use on heartworm-positive animals. It is important to have your dog or cat tested first for existing heartworm.

A Revolution também mata carrapatos adultos em cães e gatos e evita lombrigas e ancilóstomos apenas em gatos. O Advantage Multi evita lombrigas, ancilostomídeos e vermes em cães e gatos. Não mata carrapatos.

Revolution é seguro para cães de 6 semanas e gatos de 8 semanas. O Advantage Multi pode ser utilizado em cães a partir das 7 semanas e em gatos a partir das 9 semanas. Verifique se você tem o produto correto para o peso corporal do seu animal de estimação.
