How long does it take for Revolution Plus to dry on cats after applying it?

Yesterday evening, I applied Revolution Plus to my cat for the first time and noticed she's been trying to groom herself ever since. I'm a bit worried about her ingesting it before it's properly dried. Can you tell me how long it usually takes for the solution to dry completely so I can keep her from licking it until then?

Answer

Your cat's grooming behavior after applying Revolution Plus is understandable, as cats are naturally inclined to clean themselves. It's important to ensure that the solution dries to prevent ingestion.

Revolution Plus typically takes about 2 to 4 hours to dry completely, but this can vary depending on factors like humidity and your cat's fur type. It's a good idea to keep your cat distracted and prevent grooming during this time to ensure the product's effectiveness and safety. Providing your cat with a cozy spot away from her regular grooming areas can help, as well as engaging her with toys or treats.
