Revolution Plus – Step-by-step application guide
Let’s have a look at the step-by-step guide on how to apply Revolution Plus safely to your pet. However, always read the product label carefully for effective application.
- Click’o’Click: Take the tube and firmly press the cap to ensure that the seal is broken. You will hear a clicking sound after pressing the cap. Now, slowly remove the cap to see if the tip of the tube is open. Make sure you keep pressing the cap until you hear the clicking sound, as you have to puncture a small hole on the tip of the tube to make the solution flow out when you apply it on your cat.
- Squeeze & Apply: Once you have opened the tube, the next step is to part the fur on the back of the cat’s neck, just above the shoulder blades, until the skin is visible. Now, hold the parted fur with one hand, place the tip of the tube on the visible area and squeeze it 3 to 4 times in one spot with another hand till the entire tube is empty. The selected area is a safe spot as it prevents the cat from licking and lets the liquid get absorbed completely.
- Glide, Lift & Discard: After you have emptied the entire applicator, keep the tube squeezed, carefully glide it along the skin and away from the liquid, and then slowly lift it off. Make sure that the entire tube is empty before discarding. Also, wash your hands properly after applying the treatment and do not massage the solution into the skin. Ensure you do not apply the liquid to broken skin.
Final Note

Educate yourself with the above-mentioned guide that explains the steps to administer the treatment easily and effectively. Make sure your little ball of fur stays protected from sneaky parasites throughout the year with Revolution Plus.
