Advocate for Dogs combines fast-acting flea control with protection against common intestinal worms and mites in one simple monthly spot-on treatment. The easy-to-apply formula helps keep your dog protected year-round while reducing the need for multiple parasite products.
Why Choose Advocate for Dogs?
Advocate for Dogs is a broad-spectrum monthly spot-on treatment that protects against several of the most common parasites affecting dogs. Designed for owners who want convenient parasite protection without tablets, Advocate combines flea control with treatment for intestinal worms and mites in a single monthly application.
The easy-to-use topical treatment is applied directly to the skin between your dog's shoulder blades, where it is absorbed and distributed across the body. Monthly use helps protect against flea infestations while treating common intestinal worms and several mite species that can affect your dog's comfort and wellbeing.
Advocate is particularly popular with owners looking for an alternative to chewable parasite treatments or those whose dogs are difficult to medicate orally. Suitable for puppies from 7 weeks of age and over 1kg, it provides flexible parasite protection throughout every stage of life.

What Does Advocate Protect Against?
Fleas
Kills adult fleas quickly and helps prevent ongoing flea infestations with monthly treatment.
Roundworm
Treats one of the most common intestinal worms affecting dogs.
Hookworm
Treats hookworm infections that can affect your dog's digestive health.
Whipworm
Provides treatment and control of whipworm as part of its broad-spectrum intestinal worm coverage.
Ear Mites
Treats ear mite infestations that commonly cause irritation and excessive scratching.
Mange Mites
Treats and controls certain mite infestations, including sarcoptic mange and demodicosis when used according to the product label.
What Advocate Does Not Cover
Advocate does not provide protection against ticks or tapeworm.
If your dog requires tick protection or regular tapeworm treatment, an additional parasite product may be required depending on your veterinarian's recommendations and your dog's lifestyle.
How To Apply Advocate
Application
- Remove one pipette from the packaging.
- Part the fur between your dog's shoulder blades until the skin is visible.
- Apply the entire contents directly onto the skin.
- Allow the application site to dry naturally before handling.
Frequency
Apply once every month for continuous parasite protection.
Choosing The Correct Size
Always select the Advocate pipette that matches your dog's current body weight to ensure safe and effective treatment.
Active Ingredients
Imidacloprid
Kills adult fleas through contact, helping provide rapid flea control while reducing reinfestation.
Moxidectin
Treats several common intestinal worms and mite species, providing broad-spectrum parasite protection in one monthly application.
Broad-Spectrum Parasite Protection
Advocate protects against fleas, several common intestinal worms and mite species in one convenient monthly treatment. By combining multiple parasite controls into a single product, it helps simplify your dog's regular preventative healthcare and reduces the need for separate treatments.
Monthly Spot-On Convenience
The simple topical application is ideal for dogs that dislike chewable tablets or oral medications. Once applied to the skin, Advocate provides ongoing monthly parasite protection without the stress that some dogs experience when taking tablets.
Effective Flea Control
Advocate begins killing adult fleas quickly after application and helps reduce ongoing infestations with regular monthly use. Consistent flea control also helps minimise the risk of flea allergy dermatitis in susceptible dogs.
Treats Common Mite Infestations
In addition to flea control, Advocate also treats several important mite species, including ear mites and certain forms of mange. This broad coverage makes it a practical option for dogs requiring more than routine flea treatment.
Suitable For Puppies
Approved for puppies from 7 weeks of age and weighing at least 1kg, Advocate allows parasite prevention to begin early in life when young dogs are particularly vulnerable to flea and worm infections.
Easy To Include In Your Routine
One simple monthly application fits easily into your dog's regular healthcare schedule. Regular treatment helps maintain consistent parasite protection throughout the year.
Trusted Veterinary Brand
Advocate has been used by veterinarians around the world for many years and remains one of the most recognised spot-on parasite treatments available. Its combination of flea, worm and mite protection has made it a trusted choice for many dog owners.
No Prescription Required
Advocate for Dogs is available over the counter in New Zealand, allowing you to purchase ongoing parasite protection without requiring a veterinary prescription.
Q: What parasites does Advocate for Dogs protect against?
A: Advocate provides broad-spectrum protection against fleas, roundworm, hookworm, whipworm, ear mites and certain mange mites. It combines several important parasite treatments into one convenient monthly spot-on application, making routine parasite prevention much simpler for many dog owners.
Q: Does Advocate kill ticks?
A: No. Advocate does not provide tick protection. If your dog requires tick control, particularly when travelling or living in tick-risk areas, you may need an additional tick treatment. Always choose parasite protection that matches your dog's lifestyle and local parasite risks.
Q: Does Advocate treat tapeworm?
A: No. Advocate does not treat tapeworm. Dogs that regularly hunt, scavenge or have flea infestations may require a separate tapeworm treatment as part of their overall parasite control programme.
Q: How often should I apply Advocate?
A: Advocate should be applied once every month to maintain continuous flea, worm and mite protection. Applying treatments on the same date each month helps ensure there are no gaps in your dog's parasite protection.
Q: Is Advocate safe for puppies?
A: Yes. Advocate is approved for puppies from 7 weeks of age that weigh at least 1kg. Always choose the correct pipette based on your puppy's current body weight and follow the label directions carefully.
Q: Can I bathe my dog after applying Advocate?
A: It is recommended to avoid bathing your dog for at least 24 hours after application. This allows the product to distribute properly across the skin for maximum effectiveness.
Q: How quickly does Advocate start working?
A: Advocate begins killing fleas soon after application and provides ongoing monthly flea protection when used regularly. Consistent treatment also helps control intestinal worms and mites according to the product label.
Q: Can Advocate be used with other parasite treatments?
A: Because Advocate already provides broad parasite protection, additional flea or worm products are often unnecessary. However, if your dog also requires tick or tapeworm protection, your veterinarian may recommend an additional product suited to those specific parasites.
Q: Do I need a prescription to buy Advocate for Dogs?
A: No. Advocate for Dogs is available over the counter in New Zealand and does not require a veterinary prescription.
Q: How does Advocate compare with NexGard Spectra?
A: Advocate is a monthly spot-on treatment that provides flea, worm and mite protection without the need for tablets. NexGard Spectra is a monthly chew that also includes tick and tapeworm coverage. The best choice depends on your dog's parasite risks, whether you prefer a topical or oral treatment, and the parasites you need to protect against.
