Revolution provides good flea and tick control but also is a common heartworm prevention. They make oral flea and tick medicines that last for one month (nexgard and simparica) or three months (bravecto) but these do not cover heartworms. The only pill to cover heartworms and fleas is Trifexis but it is not very good for ticks.
