What Is Advocate?

Advocate is a topical spot-on containing Imidacloprid and Moxidectin. It is presented in a 3 or 6 pack which provides a 3 or 6 month supply.

What Is It Used For?

Advocate for dogs treats heartworm, roundworm, hookworm and whipworm but NOT tapeworm. In addition, it treats fleas by killing the adults and larvae in the environement as well as Demodex, Sarcoptic mange, ear mites and lice.

Advocate prevents Heartworm disease by killing the tissue stages of heartworm.

Once the heartworm moves from the tissues to the blood stream, it may cause a reaction from the worms dying which may then cause a blood vessel blockage. Hence the need to Heartworm test dogs which have not been on regular prevention or have missed prevention for more than 60 days.

How Often And When Is It Used?

Advocate is applied topically once per month on the back of the neck. It can be used safely in puppies as young as 7 weeks of age.

What If I Miss A Dose Or Two?

If your dog’s dose is overdue by less than 2 weeks(15days), apply the dose immediately and continue as normal.

If overdue by less than 60 days, resume dosing as normal and continue regularly for life.

If overdue by more than 60 days, speak to your vet as your dog may require a heartworm test.
