This may seem like a silly question but I can’t for the life of me find information on if Revolution is safe for Sphynxs. I live in South Florida. Where it’s summer all year round basically and we have a lot of fleas, ticks, and heartworm disease. My dog is on a monthly oral prevention and I don’t plan to leave my kitten unprotected.
Comfortis does fleas, and heartgard does heartworms and revolution does both. Has anyone used these products personally on their baby? What are your thoughts?
I plan on taking my little guy adventuring(within reason of course) and we travel a lot and plan to bring him and our Great Dane along.

I had inquired to my vet about using revolution for my 3 sphynx, but he prescribed Interceptor Plus instead since its a pill rather then a liquid that they could potentially ingest, I know absorption is different with our little naked guys. Perhaps you could inquire with your vet about interceptor as well.

We used a liquid (I don’t remember the name) last summer, and Cleo decided to be allergic to it. So now, we and the vet are hesitant about giving her anything else. Instead we are having to keep them at home in the summer, and work on keeping the yard and house mosquito and flea free. Hopefully your baby will do well with the pill.
Btw our guys love to go on adventures, and there is at least one Sphynx here on the Lair who lives in a long-haul truck. So we are eager to see your adventures.
