As I’ve said before, we use Revolution for Duke and Chuzoo’s heartworm and flea prevention. They’re much cuter than a box of Revolution, so I thought I’d take the opportunity to share pictures of them on the way back from visiting the Poinsett Bridge. Pretty much any excuse to share pet pictures works for me. In case you’re not familiar with Revolution, it’s applied topically once a month. If you use it for any of your fur kids you probably know that they’ve had an ongoing deal where you get two free doses when you buy six doses.
We’ve always bought the six doses at a time. The vet we take the dogs to is over an hour away, and I don’t mind making the drive to take them there, but I don’t want to do it once a month if we don’t have to. So we typically buy six doses, get the two free, and don’t have to worry about getting more for eight months. It’s dosed by weight, so Chuzoo and Duke are on different doses.
We had to take Chuzoo for an appointment last week, and while we were there we learned that this is the last month that Revolution will be offering the free doses. Apparently they’re switching to some sort of rebate program in February. Our vet’s office didn’t have a lot of details about it yet, but seemed to think it wasn’t going to be as good or convenient as the free doses. It also seems like there may be some issues with the rebate program that will have to be worked out. We could have waited until next month to buy more Revolution for Duke, but we decided to go ahead and buy it while we were there. It saves us a trip, and we were able to get the two free doses. We just bought Chuzoo’s last month, so we’re well stocked on his. Hopefully by the time we need to buy it again they’ll have worked out any issues with the rebate program. If nothing else, our vet’s office should know the ins and outs of it by then, so they can tell us what we’ll need to do.
If you’re a fellow pet parent I’m sure you know how nice free doses of a monthly treatment are. And if you’re a fellow pet parent who happens to use Revolution, you may want to go ahead and stock up this month. If you know anything about the rebate program I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
So what about you? Is there anything you buy several months worth of at once to get a month or two free?
