Advocate Spot-On for Dogs

What is Advocate for Dogs?

Advocate is an effective treatment for a number of parasitic infestations including fleas, roundworm, hookworm,lungworm, heartworm and ear mites. The solution you require will depend on the size of your dog, with different options for small, medium, large and extra large dogs.

The medicine is supplied in pre-filled pipettes (packs of 3 or 6) which have been developed specifically for dogs. If you are looking to treat a parasitic infestation in a cat then be sure to request Advocate for Cats instead.

Each pipette contains enough solution for one treatment and the dose and frequency of application depends on why the medicine is being used. Further details are available in the enclosed leaflet.

How does Advocate work?

The active ingredients in Advocate are Imidacloprid and Moxidectin. Both of these substances work by paralysing and subsequently killing parasites, with each ingredient targeting different ones. This works by interfering with the nervous system of the parasite and the way in which signals are passed between nerve cells.

Paralysing the parasites can help to prevent or reduce parasitic bites, which can be uncomfortable for your dog as well as carrying a risk of parasite-transmitted diseases.

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 dog.

Always use medications as directed by your vet.

The content of a full pipette is used in one application and this should be applied directly to your dog’s skin (so part the hair first).
