Advocating for your pet means making decisions that are in their best interests – this may involve restricting interactions with strangers or refusing greetings from other dogs; and declining social events which will overwhelm them.
Advocate is an all-in-one spot on treatment that offers complete protection from multiple parasitic infections such as fleas, intestinal worms (roundworms, hookworms and whipworms), heartworm, ear mites and ticks. It kills 98-100% of fleas within 12 hours while providing long term protection.

Advocate for dogs works by blocking parasites from taking up nutrients in your dog’s body and multiplying. Worms are killed off and excreted through urine. Regular administration will ensure your pet does not experience long-term digestive issues and increase quality of life.
Advocate is an effective solution for more than fleas and worms; it will also eliminate ticks, gnats, mosquitoes, sarcoptic mange and Demodex mites in dogs. Furthermore, Advocate can be given as a pill-free alternative heartworm medication which may appeal to picky eaters or those that dislike taking pills.
Advocate is essential in protecting your pet against parasites, helping prevent heartworm infections and other serious health conditions. If you are uncertain whether Advocate is suitable for your pet, consult your veterinarian about available solutions.
Advocate can be more expensive than other parasite prevention treatments due to its ability to combine two distinct products into one package; however, many pet owners find the extra expense is worth the added benefits they experience from using Advocate.
How often should I apply Advocate for dogs?
Advocate is a monthly spot-on treatment for dogs that protects them against fleas, heartworm disease and intestinal worms. With its potency blend of ingredients designed to destroy multiple parasites at once and provide long-term protection from them – not to mention controlling ear mites, biting lice and Demodex mites!
Apply Advocate to the back of your dog’s neck, away from their eyes and mouth using the applicator tube included with Advocate. Allow it to completely dry before replacing their collar (unless they’re wearing a Seresto collar that should remain on for further treatment). If your pet was recently bathed or groomed before applying Advocate; wait until they’ve dried completely after drying completely before administering Advocate; write down when and why you applied so you can repeat every four weeks.
Advocate works quickly and effectively to eliminate existing fleas on your dog within 12 hours of application, as well as to eliminate eggs and larvae in the environment that breed future infestations. Furthermore, this fast-acting treatment also serves to protect dogs against heartworm infection by targeting mosquitoes which transmit heartworm parasites – killing mosquitoes is critical in this regard! Additionally, Advocate helps control intestinal parasites such as roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms – effectively.
Are there any side effects of Advocate for dogs?
Advocate is widely considered a safe and effective flea treatment option for dogs. Absorbing through the skin, it works quickly to kill fleas and stop further transmission of disease. Some temporary side effects may occur following administration such as greasy fur at the application site, itching, or vomiting, although any of these should resolve shortly after medication administration. Should persistent reactions arise please notify your veterinarian immediately.
Advocate can also reduce the severity of Flea Allergy Dermatitis in dogs, which is painful and itchy for them. Not only will Advocate kill existing fleas but it will also stop new fleas from biting your pup to avoid further irritation to its skin.
Advocate has no serious side effects when used on dogs, however it’s essential that you follow all instructions closely when giving it. When giving Advocate to your canine friend, try and apply it when they are calm and happy – otherwise anxious or stressed canines may not respond as effectively and could experience worsening of symptoms due to this medication.
Before using Advocate spot-on treatments, it is also advisable to use a high quality shampoo in order to eliminate any dirt or debris present on your dog’s coat. Furthermore, bathing them on an ongoing basis may help ensure they remain flea free and reduce risk.
Advocate’s active ingredients, Imidacloprid and Moxidectin, work together to kill fleas and other parasites by interfering with their neurotransmissions and disrupting nerve cell communications – leading them into their central nervous systems, disrupting nerve and muscle cell connections and ultimately killing them. Furthermore, these ingredients have proven their efficacy within 12 hours in killing adult fleas as well as larval stages of both roundworms and hookworms – killing up to 100%.
What are the active ingredients in Advocate for dogs?
Advocate is a spot-on treatment for both cats and dogs containing two active ingredients – imidacloprid and moxidectin – used to combat and prevent fleas (Ctenocephalides felis), lice (Trichodectes canis), and ear mites (Otodectes cyanotis). In addition, Advocate protects against parasitic intestinal worms (such as roundworms, hookworms, heartworms, whipworms and lungworms).
Interference with nerve cell signals disrupting parasite function leads to paralysis and ultimately death of parasites, with Imidacloprid acting by killing lice and fleas on contact as well as killing up to 100% of existing fleas within 12 hours after application; Moxidectin quickly absorbs into your pet’s system where it kills internal parasites such as heartworms (Dirofilaria immitis), intestinal nematode worms and mites within hours.
Advocate is a non-ingestible medication designed for pets that is applied directly to their skin on the back, helping reduce side effects such as vomiting and diarrhea while being less likely to be washed off by water or other substances. Available in varying strengths to meet different requirements.
Your pet should receive this product regularly between their shoulder blades where it cannot be licked off by using an applicator placed directly onto their skin and squeezed twice to release its liquid. A pipette is included with each bottle to help you administer an accurate dose.
If your pet seems uncomfortable after taking Advocate, contact a veterinarian immediately and show them the box/label to ensure it’s safe for use.
Rarely, medication may trigger an allergic reaction in sensitive pets, usually manifested as itching and reddening of skin near where it was applied. When this occurs, it is wise to flush the area with water before seeking medical assistance; any medication entering surface water bodies could have detrimental effects on aquatic organisms.
