Product Detail: Advocate for Dogs & Cats
Advantage Multi (Advocate)
Advantage Multi is known as Advocate in Australia and the UK. Pet Shed sells the Australian or UK packaged version of Advantage Multi (Advocate). Advocate offers protection against multiple parasites in one easy-to-administer topical monthly dose – no need to battle with tablets!
Treat and prevent fleas (Ctenocephalides felis) in both dogs and cats with Advantage Multi and include it as part of a routine treatment regime for Flea Allergic Dermatitis (FAD). With Advantage Multi, you can also fight ear mites (Otodectes cyanotis) and prevent heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis), and several intestinal worms in dogs and cats including roundworm, heartworm, lungworm, and whipworm.
How Advantage Multi (Advocate) works
After application, the active ingredient imidacloprid spreads across the skin and coat, killing existing fleas within 12 hours. After this time, re-infesting fleas are affected by the active ingredient in 3-5 minutes and killed within 1 hour, on contact. Imidacloprid is shed into the environment as your pet sheds the skin and fur, killing flea larvae within 20 minutes. This helps break the flea lifecycle.
Advantage Multi’s unique formula prevents heartworm disease in cats and dogs while controlling fleas, roundworms, and hookworms, and ear mites in both species and whipworms, Sarcoptes and Demodex mites in dogs. Advantage Multi works rapidly to control fleas, killing over 98% of adult fleas within 12 hours of application. Protecting your pet against common parasites has never been easier with this fantastic new product.
What are the active ingredients in Advantage Multi (Advocate)?
Active ingredients:
- imidacloprid
- moxidectin
How can Advantage Multi be administered to dogs and cats?
Advantage Multi is applied topically to the skin on the back of the neck – usually once a month or every four weeks. It should be applied to an area where your pet cannot reach to lick it off, usually between the shoulder blades.
The dose of Advantage Multi required will depend on your pet’s weight and comes in several strengths so that any sized animal can be given an accurate dose. Advantage Multi can be given safely alongside most veterinary medicines.
Dogs – 10mg/kg bodyweight imidacloprid and 2.5mg/kg bodyweight moxidectin. This equates to 0.1ml/kg bodyweight Advocate dog solution.
Cats – 10mg/kg imidacloprid and 1mg/kg moxidectin. This equates to 0.1ml/kg Advocate cat solution.
Use the top of the cap to break seal of tube. Part hair between the shoulder blades until the skin is visible. Place the tip of the tube on the skin and squeeze the tube firmly to apply the solution directly to the skin.

Flea treatment
I use this on both my cats and dogs, it works better than any other product. Though vets tell me not to use the dog treatment on cats I do anyway, I just use a syringe and can treat 4-5 cats to a single dog treatment. So far none of the cats have had a bad reaction, I just make sure not to overdose and its a lot cheaper as I have several cats.
great product!
I have three indoor/outdoor cats, and they have been parasite free for two years now thanks to Advocate. Previously we had used another spot treatment, and the downside was that the fleas actually had to bite the cat in order to die. So the cats would come inside and fleas would fall off of them and bite ME! I don't deal with that anymore, thankfully!
Advocate for cats
Awesome product. I live the United States and it is the same as the Advantage Multi here, but half the price.
Cat or Dog
Make sure you are ordering for the right animal, it is easy to end up with meds for a cat when you have a dog ( default is CAT)
No fleas, yay!!!
We live in the country on 5 acres and have used advocate from Joes Pet meds for a few years now. Love this product. Easy to apply and have never had a problem with fleas or ear mites on any of our pets. Joes Pet Meds is the best and cheapest of any supplier I have found. Have never had any problems with delivery time even though we live in the US. I will continue to order from this company and have told friends and family. Thanks Joes Pet Meds!!!!
Advocate for Cats
Have used Advocate for years now-order once a year for 4 cats-and it works very well. Ran out once and bought another brand for a month until I could order more Advocate, but one cat had a nearly fatal reaction to the other brand! I'll be ordering Advocate from Joe's (best prices ever) from now on!
Awesome product and service
Been using this product for several years, works well, and shipping reasonable, would recomend to anyone.

We swear by this stuff. It works good and it works really fast!
Alway use this stuff
I have used this in the US under Advantage Multi. A few years ago I discovered Joe's Pet Meds. For a very brief time I tried one of the chewables, but found they were not as effective as this Advocate (Advantage) and we switched right back. I hope this formula never changes,
Great stuff
I order this every year and we have tried everything else - even the prescription from our vet. We have three cats and this product is the best. No greasy residue, no horrible smell and no irritation. We will continue to buy this and only this for our cats!
