Stronghold Spot-On for Cats & Dogs
Stronghold Spot-On is a trusted, veterinarian-recommended parasite treatment for both cats and dogs. It contains the active ingredient selamectin, providing broad-spectrum protection against common internal and external parasites.
Stronghold is the same product as Revolution, marketed under different brand names in various regions but manufactured by the same company with the same formulation and effectiveness.
Key Benefits of Stronghold Spot-On
Stronghold offers comprehensive monthly protection for your pets:
- Kills and prevents fleas, including eggs and larvae.
- Prevents heartworm disease.
- Treats and controls ear mites.
- Treats sarcoptic mange (scabies) in dogs.
- Controls biting lice in cats and dogs.
- Treats intestinal roundworms in dogs.
- Treats roundworms and hookworms in cats.
How It Works
Stronghold contains selamectin, which is absorbed through the skin and enters the bloodstream. It targets parasites by disrupting their nervous system, effectively eliminating them and preventing reinfestation.
Who Is It For?
Stronghold Spot-On is suitable for:
- Dogs: Puppies and dogs over 6 weeks of age.
- Cats: Kittens and cats over 8 weeks of age.
- Safe for pregnant and lactating pets.
How to Use Stronghold Spot-On
Follow these simple steps for effective application:
- Hold the pipette upright and press the cap firmly to break the seal.
- Part the fur at the base of your pet’s neck (between the shoulder blades).
- Apply the solution directly onto the skin in one spot.
- Squeeze the pipette until it is fully empty.
⚠️ Avoid contact with your hands and do not massage into the skin.

Stronghold is available in multiple strengths (6% and 12%) and pipette sizes ranging from 15 mg to 360 mg, depending on your pet’s weight.
