Using Advocate to Control Fleas and Prevent Heartworms
Advocate for Dogs is a great way to control fleas and prevent heartworm disease at the same time. It makes life more simple for pet owners. Only one product to buy and use each month will eliminate fleas and the risk of heatworm disease.
You can buy Advocate online, usually for a lot less than vet’s tend to charge. But one thing you need to know is that it is not always called Advocate! Bayer market the product under this name in Europe but call it Advantage Multi in the United States. That means if you are looking for the best prices it is worth searching for both to make sure you really have found the best deal.
To use Advocate or Advantage Multi for Dogs or Cats is easy. All you do is make sure to buy the correct dosage depending on the weight and type of pet to be treated. They’re color-coded to keep things simple. Then once a month you open up the capsule and squeeze the contents directly onto the skin of your pet. At the base of the neck is right for cats. Between the shoulder-blades (and in a few spots along the spine for large dogs) is right for dogs. This helps the product be absorbed quickly and prevents pets trying to lick the medicine off before it can get to work.
Because Advocate contains a heartworm preventative there are a few things to remember. Firstly never use any other heartworm medicine at the same time. Secondly before starting to use any heartworm medication a dog should be given a test for the disease. Once this is clear they can be given monthly heartworm medicines year round without having to have another, even if you change brands of medication. This is because with correct use, all monthly heartworm medicines guarantee your pet cannot get the disease.
Advocate is a simple and economical way to control fleas and prevent heartworm disease for both canine and feline pets.
