I just want to make sure that everyone is having positive experiences. Thanks again in advance!

We are using Revolution right now, and I actually still have several months worth, but I prefer Sentinel + Frontline Plus. That combination has worked for us well, and the Revolution makes Levi insanely itchy for the whole day it is applied...yet he has never seemed itchy from topical Frontline. We haven't had any fleas, etc. from either product, but the Sentinel/Frontline just seems to work for us. Even though we haven't had any problems so far with the Revolution.

My vet will still not prescribe Revolution for dogs, only cats. He said testing has NOT been acceptable with dogs. Too many dogs are still getting heartworm while on Revolution. I have asked for it twice now and he is still standing firm that it is not proven for dogs.
