I have two little puppies 7 and 8 months old, I want to use Revolution on them and I do not know if I use revolution on one of them the other one can lick it off, because they play together all the time. what can I do? Separate them or do something else, if separate them for how long? I know Revolution is absorbed in two hours after application for how long do I have to separate them or I have to do something else, I am afraid one of them can get poisoned by licking Revolution off another.

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Licking and swallowing Revolution can produce serious side effects therefore you should separate Nelson and Oscar until the skin is completely dry. It normally takes 2-3 hrs for Revolution to be fully absorbed by the skin so there is not need to separate them for longer than that.
