You've applied Revolution Plus to your cat for flea protection and want to know how long it needs to dry before she can roam freely and safely. Ensuring the treatment's effectiveness and minimizing furniture residue is a top priority.
- Allow your cat to avoid contact with surfaces for a minimum of 2 hours.
- Full drying usually takes up to 24 hours.
- Keep an eye on any signs of irritation or discomfort.
Revolution Plus is a topical treatment that begins to dry within a couple of hours, but to ensure optimal efficacy and reduce the risk of residue transfer, it is best to allow the solution to fully dry, which can take up to 24 hours. During this time, try to keep your cat from rubbing against furniture, people, or other pets. Monitoring her for any adverse reactions, such as excessive licking or irritation, is important and if observed, consulting a veterinarian would be wise.
Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
