Protect your dog from a wide range of common and harmful parasites with Advocate for Dogs. This convenient, easy-to-use monthly topical spot-on treatment from Elanco provides broad-spectrum protection against fleas, heartworm, and multiple intestinal worms. Each tube contains a single, powerful dose designed to keep your canine companion healthy and parasite-free for a full month.
 
Advocate is a comprehensive solution that acts both externally against fleas and internally against various worms and mites, offering significant peace of mind for pet owners.
 
Broad-Spectrum Parasite Control:
Advocate for Dogs provides protection against a wide array of parasites:
Fleas: Kills adult fleas quickly on contact and also kills flea larvae in the dog's surroundings, helping to break the flea lifecycle and prevent infestations. Fleas do not need to bite your dog to be affected.
Heartworm: Prevents the development of deadly heartworm disease.
Intestinal Worms: Treats and controls major intestinal nematodes including Roundworms, Hookworms, and Whipworms.
Mites: Treats and controls Ear Mites, Sarcoptic Mange, and Demodicosis.
Lice: Treats and controls chewing lice.
 
Note: Advocate for Dogs does not treat tapeworms. For complete intestinal worm control that includes tapeworms, an additional product may be required, as recommended by your veterinarian. Advocate also does not provide protection against ticks.
 
How it Works:
Advocate contains two powerful active ingredients: Imidacloprid and Moxidectin.
Imidacloprid acts on the nervous system of fleas and lice, killing them on contact as it spreads across your dog's skin and coat.
Moxidectin is absorbed through the skin and distributes throughout the body, preventing heartworm infection and treating internal worms and mites.
 
Dosage and Application:
Advocate for Dogs is available in different size tubes, colour-coded according to your dog's weight to ensure accurate dosing. A single tube provides one monthly treatment.
 
To apply, simply part the fur on your dog's neck at the base of the skull and apply the entire contents of the tube directly to the skin.
 
For larger dogs (typically over 25kg), the dose is usually divided and applied to several spots along the back to ensure better coverage. Always refer to the specific packaging for the correct application site for your dog's weight range.
 
Frequency:
Apply Advocate for Dogs once a month, every month, throughout the year for continuous protection against fleas, heartworm, and worms. Consistency is key to preventing heartworm disease and controlling other parasites effectively.
 
Key Benefits:
Comprehensive Protection: Guards against a wide range of significant internal and external parasites.
Easy to Use: Simple, once-a-month topical spot-on application.
Fast Flea Action: Kills fleas on contact, providing rapid relief from biting and helping manage Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD).

Prevents Heartworm: Essential monthly prevention against this potentially fatal disease.
