Since only 5% of total fleas live on the dog and the rest live in immature stages in its environment, it can take roughly 3 months to eradicate fleas in the home. Due to its high efficacy and ability to kill fleas without needing them to bite, an advocate is an excellent choice to control and eliminate fleas from the pet. Furthermore, the advocate also kills flea larvae in the pet‘s immediate surroundings.

Advocate is a spot-on treatment, which is applied directly onto the skin between the shoulder blades after the fur has been parted. Dogs weighing less than 1kg should only be treated after special consideration by the veterinarian. The advocate should not be used in puppies under 7 weeks of age. The advocate should not be used in dogs classified as Class 4 for heartworm disease.
