Advantix vs Advocate

• Advantix

• Advocate

• It kills external parasites with the help of its
  two active ingredients Imidacloprid and
  Permethrin. Imidacloprid consists of a repelling
  action called as hot foot activity on ticks that
  repels them from sticking on a treated dog for 4
  weeks.
• Permathrin affects the nervous system of the
  parasites and totally blocks the sodium channels
  which are key to nerve impulses of parasites.
  This ultimately leads to killing of pests.
• Advantix effectively kills approximately 98.5
  ticks within 2 hours of application.

• Advocate consists of Imidachroprid and moxidectin
  as active ingredients. These two ingredients
  eliminate parasites by discontinuing their
  neurotransmissions. They disrupt the invertebrate
  nerve and muscle cells by attacking the central
  nervous system of the parasites.
• This causes paralysis and eventually death of the
  parasites.
• It kills 98-100 of fleas within 12 hours of
  application. In addition to this Moxidectin
  enters your pets bloodstream and with monthly
  use will prevent heartworm infection in dogs.
