Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2005Ping Victor re: Revolution Purchase Online
Victor, wasn't it you who said you buy the large dog Revolution for your cats online and then break it down for cats to save money? If not, please anyone jump in to correct any wrong assumptions. As I see it, at petmeds.com the prices are: 3 cat dosages (.75mL of 60 mg/mL potency each) is $36.99 US 3 large dog dosages (3.0mL of 120 mg/mL potency each) (or 24 cat dosages @ .75mL of 60 mg/mL potency each) is $59.99 US So, for cat purchase it comes down to $16.44 US per mL; and for large dog purchase (to use for cats) it comes down to $3.33 US per mL (since you have to halve it for potency). Or, to put it in price per dosage, it's: cat purchase $12.33 US per dose; and for large dog purchase (to use for cats) it's $2.50 US per dose. That's quite a difference - or did I screw up the math? And Petscriptions.com has large dog Revolution for $49.25 US - even better savings. I just wanted to be sure I've figured out the dosages correctly - since the large dog dosage uses 120 mg/mL I would have to split the dosage in half again (besides dividing the dosage for amount) right?

Which reminds me, the cats are due for their monthly application. > And Petscriptions.com has large dog Revolution for $49.25 US - even better > savings. That's where I get mine, and if you buy $90 (or something like that) worth of stuff, you get free shipping. > I just wanted to be sure I've figured out the dosages correctly - since the > large dog dosage uses 120 mg/mL I would have to split the dosage in half > again (besides dividing the dosage for amount) right? I do the math based on the mg. The dosage for adult cats is 45mg, the large dog vials contain 360mg in 3ml, so each cat gets 0.375 ml. I use a diabetic (?) syringe to dose it out. Hope this helps.

So the .375 mL is correct. Thanks, I'm glad you verified that for me - this will be my first time doing this so I wanted to be sure to get it right. Thanks Victor!

Hugs, CatNipped > Oh, forgot to ask - Petscription.com is asking for a vet. How do you get > around that? Or does your vet OK the prescription for a large dog? I talked it over with my vet and she agreed. Victor At my vets advice I always buy the large dog size of revolution. He said .4 dose per cat, which is close to your calculation . The other thing I find, is that it is necessary to rinse the needle after each dose in warm water, otherwise it clogs up and will not draw out the next dose. My cats are due for their next revolution day on the 13th July. Marie from OZ >> Oh, forgot to ask - Petscription.com is asking for a vet. How do you get >> around that?

Yeah, so do the other sites, but not Revolution. I think because Revolution is also for heartworm and ear mites there might be a different requirement for it.

I ordered Frontline Plus from them on July 1 and it came today airmail from Australia. My vet wanted $85 for a 6 months supply of Frontline Plus for the d*g (he's a big d*g) and I got it for $54.95 including shipping from PetShed. Purrs and Hugs, Nan > Does that need a vet's approval?

It probably means they are not registered with the FDA to distribute prescriptions. There was a case in the news a while back about online stores selling expired or counterfeit pet medications.

Actually they do, when I looked further there was a stipulation for that but I didn't see it since I didn't go through the complete check-out. Hugs, CatNipped |
