Do not use

published

I used this on my kitten she had a seizure and was trembling for a week on a drip at vets she is ok now.
It smells potent vets won't say it was the advocate but I will never use again.
I also gave it to my two older cats (I use the purple pack on them) they vomit every time.
I have thrown both packets in the rubbish.
Do not use it.

Does two jobs in one!

published

Bayer Advocate for Dogs AND Cats is very easy to apply, and with worm treatments being so bothersome to use, this two in one for fleas and worms, is a blessing.
It's a relief to use this year round because it's worry free



A tip: I buy for my dog and cat, online, it's much cheaper that way.

Manufacturer merged with Monsanto

published

Beware, the manufacturer Bayer purchased Monsanto. This is troubling to say the least. Other brands by Bayer include Advantage, Advantix, Drontal, Kiltix, Seresto and Vetadine

Absolutely fantastic

published

This product is fantastic. So easy to use. No trying to get your dog to swallow any pills. All you do is put it on the back of his neck and presto...all finished.

Easy to apply

published

I've been using Advocate, as recommended by my vet and local pet store for the past 6 years for my 9kg dog with no problem at all. It is an easy monthly application on the back of the dog's neck (where it can not be licked), no more struggle of feeding the wormer.

In all honestly, I have not had any worms/flea problem so can not have a say whether the product is actually able to kill them, but can at least see it's effective in keeping the worms and fleas away.

The only downside of this product is the higher price tag. But unless if I encounter any problems myself, I will still be using advocate and recommending it to others.

Great for our dog

published

We have a 40 kg male german shepherd and have used this product since we rescued him 2.5 years ago. He had a few fleas when we got him from the rescue shelter, but after giving him advocate, hoovering the carpet twice a day for a week and flooding the garden to get rid of any potential flea-breeding sites - no fleas ever since! He is on a raw food diet, so I do not know if this helps with the treatments absorption and ability to work. I have never seen the red (large dog) advocate in our pet stores, but use the blue (medium dog) packet, one tube once a month after checking the dosage with the vet and our dog has not had any problems.

I FEEL BETTER

published

Having just bought a new puppy I felt guilty that I had not wormed my much loved 7 year old maltese/Shitzu for many months. Shortly after treating him he was playing like the puppy, noticeably much more active and a renewed bounce in his step.

Never using again

published

Today I treated my 10 year old cat with Advocate. Since the treatment, she has been lethargic, just wants to sleep all the time, clumps of fur have been falling out, has become dehydrated and does not want to eat whatsoever. Her third eyelid in both eyes started showing. Contacted a 24 hour vet as I thought she was getting very sick and was about to fork out even more money when my partner suggested that she may have had a reaction to Advocate. Poor thing had to have a shower to wash it off (thankfully not a lot had been absorbed) and now she is back to normal. If this product gives my cat this sort of reaction I won't be purchasing it again.

Easy, once a month product

published

I have been using this product on both my dogs - Border Collie and a X Border Collie/Kelpie since they were pups and are now over 10 yrs old. So simple to apply with the pipettes and dogs are more than happy to sit still as product is applied and they have never had any adverse reactions to this. I always buy the product online as it is so much cheaper than buying from the local vet. Would highly recommend this product as so much easier than trying to shove a tablet or chewy cube down their throats.

Soon after treatment (Advocate) my much loved (indoor) cat Megs lost the use of her back legs and the next day lost her sight she did not recover. Bayer did not care.

Great and easy to apply

published

Have used this for the past year no issues. My cat does not like tablets and last one he went off his food for the day. I will continue to use advocate.
Great as it does heartworm aswell if used monthly.

Advocate is terrible!

published

Bought advocate based on recommendations at city farmers that this is their best selling item and does all worms and fleas in a topical application. 12 hours after the dose my dog was irritated and pacing. 24 hours after the dose she had two lots of explosive diarrhea. One lot in my car and she is still not herself. Do not use this product!! I'm going back to using revolution.

Works on fleas but side effects to be aware of!

published

This product certainly gets rid of the fleas but both my cats foamed and frothed at the mouth within 60 seconds of application. It gave me quite a scare and failing forcing them to drink water (typical cats!) I washed their mouths out with water. I kept a close eye on both of them for the next 24 hours and they were ok. It did give me a fright though as no other topical flea treatment has had this effect before. After reading other reviews I think I'll steer clear and find an alternative product, just to be on the safe side.

easy to use

published

I have used this product over the last 2 years with no problem, I have 4 cats so need something that is easy to use, does fleas & worms, I cannot get a pill down my cat's throats! so this has been the best option, I have tried other brands but they are scratching in no time, so I came back to Advocate & will continue to use
