Made my dog very unhappy and strange

published

My dog immediately became very unsettled, starting panting, kept going outside, kept asking to go out to the front yard, couldn't get settled, tail was down and I've never seen him look so unhappy and he was also disorientated and seemed untrusting. I checked on him at 2.30am and he was hiding behind a cross trainer panting.do not recommend!!!

Almost instant severe allergic reaction

published

My dog suffered a severe allergic reaction after I applied the topical treatment Advocate tonight. He is a 16 month old Jack Russell, 9 kg. We went straight back to the vet where we bought the product, as soon as he started showing signs of discomfort and they administered two antihistamine injections. He is eating and drinking normally and seems to be better now, but it was incredibly frightening. It looked as though his skin was actually crawling and he was rubbing his face on all surfaces, the vet also said his temperature was quite high. Bayer definitely need to update their paperwork to warn users of these symptoms with this product. I will be sure to let them know!

Severe allergic reaction to Advocate for Dogs, 4-10 Kilos, Fleas, Heartworm and Worm Medication

published

I administered this product topically, as per instructions, to my 13 month old Jack Russell, that weighs 6.3 kilos, late Sunday evening (1/3/2020). A trip to the vet and 3 days later she is still unwell. She developed tremors, lacked co ordination, did not eat or drink and was completely lethargic and listless for two days. She also had diarrhoea yesterday. Clearly this product has affected my dog's nervous system. She is starting to recover but I will never use this product again. I have reported this to the company Bayer and their response has been one of great concern. This product must carry clear warnings, of potential side effects and what to do in the event of an allergic reaction, on its packaging. At the moment it does not.

I was sceptical but my kitten didn't react

published

I had bought this product for my very young kitten. I was sceptical because of the reviews and was worried that my kitten would react but when I gave it to her at 9.5 weeks she didn't react. She was fine with the treatment. I used it as directed and placed it on the back of her neck and then didn't touch the area. I'd use the product again. Every cat is different. A friend's cat used to react to it so not all cats are going to like it but my new kitten was okay with it.

Great for ear mite

published

My cat had ear mite big time. He was scratching, twitching his ears and sneezing. I have him a dose of advocate before taking him to the vet just to give it a try. Lo and behold, within minutes the symptoms began to desist and an hour later he was back to normal.
He showed no signs of nausea as some others have reported.

Worked straight away

published

We had no luck with other products, so we tried Advocate after hearing good reviews. Our cats stopped scratching within 20 minutes, I'd definitely recommend this. Look after your pets well!

Been using this on my cats for a year now.

published

I apply the treatment every month as advised on the back of the neck on my two indoor/outdoor cats and I have never seen a flea or any of them scratch. Taking one star off because the smell is very strong and my cats get annoyed for a few hours after application because of it. Apart from that, it's a great flea and multi worm treatment.

Dangerous

published

Within 16 hours vomiting blood. Ended up with ibd still not right two years later. Plus over five thousand pounds in vet bills.
Would never use again. Did notify bayer but claim never had this reaction despite googling it and sending them numerous other cases. Claimed none reported to them. Changed To holistic vet said he treats at least one case a week for adverse reactions to advocate.

Take this product down from the market

published

After applying to my cat, she has become very lethargic, whatever she eats she vomits, she seems unsettled... If I know I would never, ever put it near my cat. I cannot see how anyone can consider it something safe to put on cats. I am so angry I did not check the reviews before as I probably would not agree for it.

Potent stuff damages furniture

published

I have used this product on both my cat and dog and it works fine for flea and worm control. Both my pets have not had any adverse reactions other people describe. I just hate applying it because this stuff stinks. It also runs off after applying and has discouloured my leather couch and taken the varnish off wooden furniture! I’d hate to think what it’s doing to my poor pets’ skin. I think I’ll stick to flea and worming tablets in future.

Bad news all around. This product sent my lab nutty for a day.

published

This product has led to extreme lethargy and avoidance of his pack (his human family) each time. We just made the connection. The dog was not himself for 24 hours. Won't be using it again. Not enamoured with Bayer to say the least.
