Advocate Medium for Cats 4 to 8kg Advocate

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.

No need to bite with Advocate

The ingredients in Advocate provide fast relief from fleas. With its “No Need to Bite” mode of action, the 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.

Comprehensive protection from intestinal worms

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. 

Effective treatment and control of lungworms

Advocate is the only flea, heartworm and worm protection product that kills lungworms in the 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.

Advocate prevents re-infection between doses

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.

How to Use?

Make sure your cat is standing during treatment. Remove your cats’ collar before application, and replace it when the product has dried, except if you are using a Seresto collar – this does not need to be removed before application.

1. Remove required tubes from the packet. Hold the tube upright away from you and pull the cap off.
2. Reverse the cap and push the cap back on the tube. Twist the cap to break the seal, and then remove the cap from the tube.
3. Part the fur on the back of your cat’s neck and place the tip of the tube on the skin. Squeeze the tube firmly twice and apply the solution directly to the skin.

Avoid applying the treatment near the cat’s eyes or mouth area as this may cause irritation. If you need to, bathe your cat before treatment and apply Advocate when your cat is fully dry. If bathing between treatments, use a soap-free cat shampoo, and it is recommended you bathe your cat no more than fortnightly.  

Advocate flea, heartworm and worm treatment for cats are for external use only on cats and kittens from 9 weeks of age.
