ADMINISTRATION:
A veterinarian or veterinary technician should demonstrate or instruct the pet owner regarding the appropriate technique for applying Revolution topically to dogs and cats prior to first use.

Keeping the tube squeezed, drag it away from the liquid and lift to remove.
Check the tube to ensure that it is empty.
Do not massage the product into the skin.
Due to alcohol content, do not apply to broken skin.
