I would not give him another dose so quickly, since most of it is on him, just not in the location you were aiming for. You can however, safely repeat the Revolution in 2 weeks time, to ensure he is fully covered and protected. If you do happen to notice any fleas in the meantime, you can safely give him a Capstar tablet for emergency flea relief, which can be found at your local pet store. However, there is a low chance of that happening. Thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and best wishes with your pet Joey. Take care.
