Advocate Flea Control – How Its Active Ingredients Protect Your Pet
<p>When your dog has fleas, it can be a major source of health discomforts for both the pet and the owner; flea bites can be annoying for humans but disastrous for dogs, who can’t treat these on their own. What problems do the dog face? Blood loss, allergy dermatitis, secondary infection for raw skin patches, and the potential to transmit diseases to humans. No family man or woman may be comfortable with the transmittable disease potential. You need to treat fleas and do it right. Granted there are routines that promote and maintain pet health, from regular pet grooming and bathing, to scheduled vet check ups, to routine house cleaning and vacuuming, but this list must include medicine for flea control and prevention. Advocate Flea Treatment is one the most recommended treatments, for very good reasons.
Advocate is topical, it’s applied on your dog’s skin, as opposed to orally administered solutions, which are taken by mouth. With oral solutions, you need to feed it to your dog for that kind of treatment to work. There are some reasons why many pet owners choose topical over oral. They can’t be blamed – no one wants to spend for a treatment mixed into pet food that the pet refuses to eat; by then, force feeding becomes a logical next step.
What parasites Advocate Flea Control can handle effectively
Advocate comes packaged in an easy to use tube that efficiently kills off current parasite infections (such as fleas, heartworm, gastrointestinal worms, ear mites, demodex, and even Sarcoptic Mange), gives continuous protection (lasts up to a whole month), and reliably prevents re-infestation (even when you live in regions where all year long infestation is a threat). Because it kills off flea larvae in your pet’s environment, Advocate curbs the chances of re-infestation and prevents incidents of Flea Allergy Dermatitis.
Your pet needs good parasitic coverage and protection, and Advocate’s active ingredients – Imidacloprid and Moxidectin – provide exactly that. Moxidectin, one of the ingredients, quickly finds its way into your pet’s bloodstream, right after absorption through the pet’s skin. With routine monthly use, Moxidectin protects your dog from heartworm infection. The same month-long protection also includes protection from gastrointestinal worms – hookworms and roundworms. In addition, it also prevents a debilitating skin condition from emerging on your pet – Demodex. Advocate also controls ear mites.
Contraindications
Advocate is quite safe to administer on pups so long as they are at least seven weeks old. Still, some dogs may react badly to this treatment. Although it’s rare for dogs to show allergic reactions to such treatment, it does happen. Do not administer said treatment if you know your dog has allergic reaction to the active ingredients in Advocate. If you have any doubts, your vet is just a phone call away – set up an appointment. Watch over your dog during the period the treatment takes effect, to watch out for allergic reactions.
