Advocate (Advantage Multi) for Dogs Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Advocate work for?
Advocate works for 1 month at a time. That means that each tube will last 1 month, if you purchase a 6 pack the 6 tubes will last for 6 months. You must apply Advocate each month to be most effective. It is best if you can mark on a calender when your dog will be due next so you can treat him at the correct time. If you notice fleas on your dog before the month is up, you can re-treat earlier, then the next treatment will be a month from then.

How well does Advocate work in protecting my dog from Heartworm?
It works very well in preventing your dog from getting heartworm. Advocate only works in the way of stopping your dog from picking up heartworm and will not get rid of it if your dog already has it. Dogs get heartworm from mosquitoes which carry and transmit the heartworm larvae, so treating your dog whenever mosquitoes are present or even better all year round will be your best chance in protecting your dog 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.

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 dog 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.
