How does it work?
Advocate is all-in-one parasitic treatment. It contains two major ingredients imidacloprid and moxidectin. The key ingredient moxidectin is highly effective in preventing and controlling heartworms and intestinal worms by disrupting nerve transmission resulting in the paralysis and death of the parasite. The other active ingredient imidacloprid, directly attacks the nervous system of the flea to cause paralysis and subsequent death. The topical treatment affects re-infesting fleas within 3 to 5 minutes and kills them within 1 hour. Advocate kills flea larvae in your cat's... surroundings within 20 minutes of contact with the active ingredient and breaks flea lifecycle. Thus, the treatment controls various infestations. Advocate is also water-resistant.
The ingredients in Advocate provide fast relief from fleas. With its “No Need to Bite” mode of action, Advocate kills fleas on contact; they don’t have to bite your cat to be killed which means more relief for your cat. Existing fleas are killed within 12 hours, and after this time re-infesting fleas are killed within 1 hour. The active ingredient, imidacloprid, is shed with the natural shedding of your cat’s skin and fur, killing flea larvae in the environment and breaking the flea lifecycle
Advocate protects cats inside and out. Providing comprehensive protection from fleas, heartworm, intestinal worms, lungworms, ear mites and feline mange mites. An easy to use spot-on applied monthly.
Most wormers only kill adult worms in the intestines at the time of treatment, but this doesn’t solve the problem. Larvae migrate through your cat’s body causing damage, and along with the immature adults, soon mature into adults, not only causing harm to your cat, but also leading to environmental contamination from egg shedding before the next treatment. This puts you and your family at risk too!
Advocate not only kills adult roundworms and hookworms, but also immature adult and larval stages of these worms, breaking the lifecycle.
Advocate is the only flea, heartworm and worm protection product that kills lungworms in cat. Lungworms can cause debilitating illness in cats characterised by respiratory compromise, and may be fatal. Advocate is effective against these parasites, and monthly use controls these parasites.
Between treatments with many products, cats can be re-infected with heartworms and intestinal worms. With regular monthly use, Advocate reaches a steady state, providing continuous protection from heartworm and intestinal worms between doses.
