Can I Use Revolution for Cats on my Dog

No, you can not use Revolution for cats on your dog. At first glance, you might think you can give your dog the blue Revolution for cats if your dog weighs 5-15 lbs, or the Taupe Revolution if your dog is 15-22 lbs. However, this is not save because there are still differences in the Cat and Dog medications. One of the biggest differences between Revolution for Cats and Revolution for Dogs is the potency. The potency in Revolution for Cats is 60 mg/L, where as the potency in Revolution for Dogs is 120 mg/L. For this reason, we recommend that you never use Revolution for Cats on your Dog.
