Why is my dog still infested with fleas even after administering Revolution?

Introduction: Understanding the basics of flea infestations

Fleas are a common problem for pet owners, and they can cause discomfort and health issues for both dogs and their owners. Fleas are small, wingless insects that feed on the blood of animals. They are able to jump long distances and can quickly spread throughout a household. Flea infestations can be difficult to eradicate, and it is important to understand the basics of flea control in order to effectively treat your dog’s infestation.

Revolution: How it works and its effectiveness

Revolution is a popular flea control medication that is applied topically to a dog’s skin. It contains an active ingredient called selamectin, which works by disrupting the flea’s nervous system and preventing its reproduction. Revolution is effective at killing adult fleas, as well as preventing flea eggs from hatching. It is also effective against other parasites such as ticks, ear mites, and heartworms. Revolution is generally considered to be a safe and effective flea control medication.

Possible reasons for Revolution not working on your dog’s flea infestation

Despite its effectiveness, some pet owners may find that Revolution does not completely eliminate their dog’s flea infestation. There are several possible reasons for this. One common reason is incorrect administration of the medication. Another is the development of resistance to Revolution among fleas. Other factors, such as environmental conditions and the presence of other animals with fleas, can also contribute to the persistence of flea infestations. In order to effectively treat your dog’s flea infestation, it is important to understand these factors and take appropriate action.
