I use Revolution and one good thing about it is that it is also the best product I have used for fleas on my cats.  Now, I have not tried it on dogs and am not going to because my vet says his clients have had poor results with dogs but excellent with cats.  I like it better than Advantage or

One of my cats got feline heartworm.  This was five years ago.  My cat is on Revolution all year now.  The cat was ill for weeks. Heartworm is more difficult and less successful to treat than in dogs. My vet called a bunch of universities and got some kind of experimental cocktail that he had a

I don't know what part of the country you live in, but have been using year round Revolution for years. We have mosquitos year round and one heartworm can kill a cat. There is also no cure once they get them. I rather like Revolution, it helps with ear mites, roundworms, hookworms, fleas, etc.
