Guest Dillymom Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I'm doing some research to try and find the best option for Lola and price wise Revolution makes the most sense to me but is it safe for Greys?? She was exposed to a cough at her foster mom's so she's quarentined until tomorrow so I haven't taken her to the vet yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BootsyCollins Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 My vet put Argos on a double dose of revolution after he was exposed to my mother's dog's scabies, so I'd say yes, it's safe. But check with your vet. Mine could be clueless! He is now on Sentinel (I think) and Frontline Plus.

Burpdog Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 a lot of people will tell you yes. I won't use it. It has the highest rate of reactions among heartworm preventative. Some vets will not use it. Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dillymom Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 ok then I'll check with the vet when I take her this week. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest momofevie Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 My vet recommends it without hesitation for greys, and Evie hasn't had any problems in the 2 years she's been on it. Since we don't need year-round flea/tick coverage here, I use Revolution April-Oct. and Interceptor Nov.-March, which also helps with cost savings.

gryhndsr4us Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I use it, and one of my friends uses it on her greys. We both haven't had any problems with it.

LaFlaca Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) My vet recommends it without hesitation for greys, and Evie hasn't had any problems in the 2 years she's been on it. Since we don't need year-round flea/tick coverage here, I use Revolution April-Oct. and Interceptor Nov.-March, which also helps with cost savings. Is this medication given orally or topically?

Guest momofevie Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Revolution is topical, and Interceptor is oral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LokisMom Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 If I'm not incorrect, Revolution does not protect against other kinds of worms. When Loki was on it, he tested positive for some other kind of worms (either hook or whip, I can't remember which) twice in less than 6 months and was treated both times. We could not get rid of those worms. Once we switched him to a monthly wormer that protected against other worms also, he's been fine. Just something to consider.

Guest beerdogs31 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I used it for a few years with no problems on my grey and non-greys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubcitypam Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I've only used it for fosters with Scarpotic mange but had no problems. Your girlie is a cutie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemandvm Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Perfectly safe for Greyhounds. It is convenient as it has both heartworm coverage and it also kills fleas. It only protects against 1 species of tick though and does not have GI parasites (hooks, rounds, whips) on the label. If your dog is on Revolution and gets those parasites, however, Pfizer will pay for the treatment (and maybe the fecal). It isn't the answer for every dog but is safe (it is actually even labeled to be safe in heartworm positive dogs) and is a great option for some dogs.
