It can be a common side effect of flea spot-ons especially the cheaper brands like Hartz, Biospot, Sargeants etc. It means your dog has a sensitivity to the pesticide/insecticide used in the product & don’t use again.

Can you use Revolution flea treatment on a kitten around 7 weeks of age?
We found a stray kitten about 3 weeks ago and the vet said it looked about 4 weeks. Today we finally got around to giving it its first examination and they gave us Revolution flea treatment since he has fleas already. Is this safe to use for kittens? I’m only asking because I just now read that it’s only safe for kittens at least 12 weeks and wanted to know if this was true.
The manufacturer says it’s not for use on kittens less that 8 weeks old, and at one time it was said not to be used on kittens less than 12 weeks old. The other topical flea medications are different than Revolution, and much safer for young kittens or cats that are in bad physical shape. I’d take the Revolution back, and get Advantage until he’s a bit older.
Revolution is systemic – if the kitten has a bad reaction to it, it cannot be washed off.
