Re: [RC] Ticks - Mickie Newnam

In case this hasn't been mentioned, I have one word of caution. With Revolution (and with any chemical ending in "ectin"; Revolution is Selamectin), be wary if you own Collies, Border Collies, Shelties, or Aussies. It can cause neurological problems. I know when I get my heartworm stuff for my Aussie I get Interceptor, which is a different chemical class, rather than Hartguard which is Ivermectin. The Beagle gets liquid ivermectin, much cheaper.
It won't happen to every dog in those breeds, but you never know which are at risk until you try. Not worth the risk, IMO.

There is a product on the market called Revolution for cats and dogs. It gets rid of fleas, ticks, ear mites, protects against heart worms and cures mange in dogs. One application lasts one month as well.
