Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 10 lbs
Hi there! 0n 2/9 I applied revolution 9 plus pounds on my kitty and am already seeing flea dirt . When I applied it to the base of her neck it traveled down to the sides of her neck and when she payed down on my bed there was quite a bit was saturated on my sheet . So either a lot of the product didn't stay on her or it's just not working ? Is there any other way or area to apply it so that doesn't happen ? And when is safe to try again . Thank you :)

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Revolution can be applied every 4 weeks. There is also Bravecto which is a topical that lasts 3 months. The Seresto collar lasts 8 months and comfortis is a monthly pill. For the last 2 there is no application error which is nice. Otherwise, part the fur to the skin and apply the contents of the Revolution to that spot and then put the hair back. It is normal for some of the liquid to go down over the hair. Maybe try the base of her skull or shoulder blade area so it doesn't go down the sides. I hope this helps!
