How well does Advocate work in killing and keeping fleas off my cat?It works great in killing and keeping fleas off cats. It is one of the strongest products on the flea treatment market and we get a lot of positive feedback on it.
How well does Advocate work in protecting my cat from Heartworm?It works very well in preventing cats from getting heartworm. Advocate only works in the way of stopping cats from picking up heartworm and will not get rid of it if your cat already has it. Cats get heartworm from mosquitoes which carry and transmit the heartworm larvae, so treating your cat whenever mosquitoes are present or even better all year round will be your best chance in protecting your him/her from picking up heartworm. If you are changing to Advocate from another heartworm product, you need to make sure the first treatment of Advocate is given within one month of the last dose of the previous product.
How long does it take before Advocate will start killing fleas on my cat?It will start killing adult fleas and larval fleas within 20 minutes and stops fleas feeding within 5 minutes. It will take about 24 hours before Advocate is in full effect.

Last time I used Advocate it only last 2 weeks, while the packet said it would last a month. Why did it not work the full month?This can be for a number of reasons, the main reasons would be if you have a really bad flea problem Advocate will not be working as strong at the end of the month as it does at the start, so although it is still working some what it is not enough to stop the large infestation of fleas. If this is the case you will want to re-apply Advocate every 2 weeks while fleas are bad. Another reason is that it takes up to a year to stop the flea cycle in your house. This means that treating your cat with Advocate the full year instead of just the warmer months when fleas are worse will make it more effective when flea season is on. Most people dont have an extreme case of fleas and wont have to worry about it lasting less than a month.
What does Advocate treat for?Advocate treats for Adult Fleas, Flea Eggs, Flea Larvae, Ear Mites, Heartworms, Whipworm, Hookworms and Roundworms.
Please note that Advocate does not treat for Tapeworm, you will need a seperate wormer such as Drontal to treat for Tapeworm.)Where can I buy Advocate online for my cat?You can buy Advocate for cats online with no prescription from us at Petsofoz.com.
