The Advocate is a high-quality product that can be used on cats in order to fight parasitic infections. The topical treatment treats heavy flea infestations and prevents re-infestations by treating them once a month. In addition, the topical treatment is a successful treatment for cats suffering from heartworm disease. In addition to treating and controlling fleas, ear mites, hookworms and roundworms, the easy to apply solution protects cats from their harmful effects. Advocate will protect your cat from common gastrointestinal nematode worms and will also help you and your family from the harmful effects of contracting worms from your pet. It is the only product that is capable of killing the two parasites causing lungworm disease in cats, which results in irreversible damage to the cat's lungs. Advocate can be used on kittens from the age of nine weeks.
How does it work?
Advocate is an all-in-one parasite treatment. The main ingredients are imidacloprid and moxidectin. In the treatment of heartworms and intestinal worms, moxectin, the main ingredient, disrupts nerve transmission, resulting in the paralysis and death of the parasites. Imidacloprid, the other active ingredient, attacks the nervous system of the flea directly, resulting in paralysis and death. Fleas are killed within three to five minutes following re-infestation with the topical treatment. Within 20 minutes of contact with the active ingredient, Advocate kills flea larvae in your cat's environment. As a result, the treatment eliminates various infestations on your cat. Advocate is also waterproof.
Keeping cats safe from the outside as well as the inside is part of Advocate's mission. We provide comprehensive protection from fleas, heartworms, intestinal worms, lungworms, ear mites, and feline mange mites. This is applied as a monthly spot-on treatment.
Advocate is a product that provides fast relief for fleas thanks to the ingredients it contains. It kills fleas on contact with its No Need to Bite mode of action; this means that your cat will experience more relief since there is no need for the fleas to bite them to kill them. There is a 12-hour period during which existing fleas will be killed, and after that, the fleas that are re-infesting will be killed within an hour. When your pet's skin and fur naturally shed, imidacloprid, the active ingredient in the product, is shed into the environment, killing flea larvae and breaking the flea lifecycle.
During the course of treatment with most wormers, the adult worms in the intestines are only killed. However, this does not solve the problem. During their migration, the larvae cause damage to your cat's tissue, and along with the immature adults, they soon mature into adults, causing not only damage to your cat, but also leading to contamination of the surrounding environment. This is because of the egg shedding that occurs before the next treatment. There is a risk here for you and your family as well.
Roundworms and hookworms are killed by Advocate, as well as their immature and larval stages, ending the life cycle.
As the only product that can kill lungworms in cats, Advocate is the only flea, heartworm, and worm protection product that kills lungworms. The presence of lungworms in cats can cause debilitating illnesses that cause respiratory compromise and, in some instances, may be fatal. Advocate is effective against all of these parasites, and it is advised to use it monthly in order to keep them at bay.
It is possible for cats to re-infect themselves with intestinal worms and heartworms between treatments with many different products. When Advocate is used regularly on a monthly basis, it reaches a steady-state, providing continuous protection against heartworm and intestinal worms between doses.
