How effective was it and did your pets have any negative reactions to it?

I worked at a vet clinic for two years and after numerous complaints, we actually stopped selling revolution for dogs and only offered it to cats.
I would just take the dog to the vet and get him treated for the ear mights. All of our clients had complaints with the revolution.
My suggestion is vet clinic for the mites, then grab Sentinel (is a heartworm AND flea preventative but its expensive) or if you dont wanna do that get Frontline to prevent fleas and Interceptor to prevent heartworms (its by the same makers of Sentinel, it just doesn't have the flea preventative IN it) .
Godo luck

It's good you found something over the counter to help with ear mites but keep in mind a few things, ear mites not commanly found in dogs, it usually affects cats mostly. Ear mites lay eggs so there bedding needs attention as well as the furniture, floors, rugs etc in your home. The best way to treat and control ear mites (after an ear swab has been done first to determine that it truly is ear mites)is to have your vet put him under and do an ear flush and medicate. You will start with a clean slate then and your vet will send home hexamite to continue treatment. Again clean all bedding, rugs, furniture etc the dog lays on. Good luck with the product you found, i really hope it works for your pet and not create a bigger ear problem for your pet.

I find revolution fantastic for treating ear mites and controlling them, the product is also great for deworming for round worm, and hookworm as well as preventing heart worm - like any drug there is a small risk of reaction, but unless your dog is prone to allergic reactions it should be fine.
I use it to treat my outdoor shop cats and for my dog, no one has had any problems with it and we are very happy with it.

I use revolution for my Beagle and have never had an ear mite problem. It works great for fleas also.

make sure you get a cotton swab and put some olive oil on it then swipe the ear clean atleast twice a week
