Advocate Spot-On for Cats

What is Advocate for Cats?

Advocate for Cats is a medicine used to protect cats against fleas, lungworm, roundworm, heartworm and ear mites. It’s an effective treatment that comes as a pre-filled pipette of solution, designed to be applied directly to the skin.

The treatment works quickly, with most existing fleas being killed within 12 hours and most reinfesting fleas are killed within one hour.

The medicine has been developed specifically for cats. If you are looking to treat a parasitic infestation in a dog then be sure to request Advocate for Dogs instead.

How does Advocate work?

The active ingredients in Advocate are Imidacloprid and Moxidectin. Each of these substances targets different parasites, which is why this medicine is an effective option for a number of parasitic infestations. The active ingredients work by paralysing and killing parasites to keep your cat free from bites and any potential parasite-transmitted diseases.

Unlike some conventional parasite medications, Advocate works to paralyse the parasites before they reach your cat’s skin, so it’s a prevention for bites as well. This protects your cat from the discomfort of bites.

Instructions for Advocate

When you receive the medication, it’s important to read and understand the dosage instructions. The strength and dose of the medication will depend on the size of your cat.

Always use medications as directed by your vet. The content of a full pipette needs to be applied directly to your cat’s skin, so begin by parting their fur. Apply the solution to your cat’s neck, just at the base of the skull.

Monthly use of the Advocate treatment can provide continuous protection from parasitic infestations.
