Advocate Red is a monthly spot-on parasite treatment for large dogs weighing 10–25kg. Applied once a month to the skin at the back of the neck, it delivers broad-spectrum protection against fleas, heartworm, and a range of intestinal worms and mites without the need for multiple separate products.

The active ingredients — imidacloprid and moxidectin — cover a wide parasite spectrum. Imidacloprid kills adult fleas rapidly and prevents reinfestation; moxidectin prevents heartworm disease and treats common gastrointestinal nematodes including roundworm, hookworm, and whipworm. Advocate also treats sarcoptic mange and ear mites. The spot-on format suits dogs that are difficult to medicate orally.

Owners wanting a single monthly treatment to cover the major parasite categories — rather than managing separate flea, heartworm, and worming schedules — find Advocate a practical consolidation. Note that it does not cover tapeworm, so a separate tapeworm treatment may be needed for complete intestinal coverage.
