Frequently Asked Questions

How is Advocate for dogs used?

What are the active ingredients in Advocate?

The treatment contains two active ingredients – imidacloprid and moxidectin, which are neurotoxins that cause paralysis and death of common parasites in dogs and cats.

How do I use Advocate?

It’s important to apply Advocate to an area your pet cannot lick, such as the back of the neck or between the shoulder blades. You will need to part the fur and then empty the entire tube of product onto the skin.

Following treatment, you should not touch or wash the area for a few hours. Advocate is water-resistant, so it won’t easily wash off, but bathing your pet after application could reduce its effectiveness.

It is also safe to use on pregnant and lactating pets.

Are the dog and cat varieties of Advocate interchangeable?

The products contain different concentrations of active ingredients for dogs and cats, and so are not interchangeable.

How often should I give my pet Advocate?

A monthly treatment is recommended to prevent recurring infestations and keep your pet healthy.

Do vets recommend Advocate?

Many vets recommend Advocate, as it is so effective at eliminating common parasites and is easy to apply to pets. It also offers an alternative for pets that don’t like swallowing a tablet.

Which Advocate product should I give to my pet?

The Advocate range includes treatments for tiny dogs under 4kgs up to large dogs over 25kgs, and for cats under 4kgs and over 4kgs. You should use the product designed for your pet’s species and size and in strict accordance with directions.

What happens if I don’t treat my dog or cat for parasites?

Pet parasites cause more than irritation. They can be very harmful to your dog or cat and lead to diseases or death.

For example, heartworm in a dog can result in heart failure, severe lung disease, and organ damage. In cats, certain parasites can lead to lungworm – a respiratory infection that can be severe in some cases.

Advocate products make it easy to give your dog or cat an effective and fast-acting treatment against harmful parasites and help keep them healthy and happy.
