• Advocate is a highly effective treatment for
  controlling external and internal parasites.
• It solves the most common problem pets have to
  deal with i.e. fleas and with so many products
  already in demand for parasite control, Advocate
  has created its own niche in the market.  
• Here are some common questions asked about this
  product by the customers that will help others to
  clear their doubts as well.

4
Why is Advocate used in Cats?

• Advocate is a topical solution which is used to
  kill fleas, flea larvae, ear mites, lice and
  intestinal worms like roundworms, whipworms and
  lungworms.
• This product is also effectively used for the
  treatment of Sarcoptic mange and prevention of
  heartworms in cats. It kills the circulating
  microfilaria in the bloodstream of the pet thus
  keeping the immature heartworms from transforming
  into adult heartworms.
• Thus, the product not only provides protection
  against ectoparasites but is highly effective
  against endoparasites as well.

5
How Does Advocate Kill Fleas and Worms?

• Advocate has Imidacloprid and Moxidectin which
  are antiparasiticides. These chemicals penetrate
  through the skin and are distributed to all the
  organs.
• Imidacloprid spreads into the lipid layers of the
  skin and targets the fleas whereas Moxidectin
  kills the intestinal worms.
• Both of these ingredients act on the central
  nervous system of the parasites which causes
  paralysis and ultimately leads to death of the
  critter.

6
Can You Use The Tube More Than Once A Month?

• Advocate for cat is a monthly treatment which
  means it should be used only once a month.
  Reapplication of the treatment is not recommended
  as the product remains effective for complete one
  month.
• In severe cases of infestation, retreatment may
  be required but it is important to consult the
  vet before taking any decision.

7
Can Advocate Be Used For Ticks?

• Advocate does not treat Ticks. It is particularly
  used for fleas, lices, mites and intestinal worms
  only.

8
Can Advocate Prevent Tapeworms?

• Yes, Advocate kills fleas which are the
  transmitters of tapeworms in cats, so,
  destruction of these parasites ultimately
  prevents cats from tapeworm infection as well.
• However, if the pet already carries tapeworms,
  the product wont eliminate the infection. It is
  just a preventative and not a treatment for
  tapeworms.

9
Can I bathe My Cat after Applying Advocate?

• No, Bathing a cat right after the application of
  the product may reduce the efficacy of the
  treatment and thus must be restricted.
• However, brief contact wont remarkably impact
  the productivity of the treatment.

10
Can I use Advocate for Dogs On Cats?

• No, Advocate for dogs has a different
  concentration of Moxidectin than Advocate for
  cats. It is only 1 for cats whereas in dogs the
  concentration is comparatively higher (2.5).
• The product is designed separately according to
  the species and thus must not be used
  interchangeably.

Collar?

• Yes you can safely use tick collar concurrently
  with Advocate. It will be of additional benefit
  to the kitty.
