Revolution is a popular choice for controlling fleas, heartworm, and other parasites in both cats and kittens. Since it is approved for use on kittens as young as 8 weeks, it is often safe when used in the correct dosage. However, it's always wise to monitor your kittens for any signs of discomfort or reactions, such as excessive licking at the application site, lethargy, or stomach upset. These reactions are rare, but if they occur, it’s best to contact a veterinarian.
