Advocate Green is a monthly spot-on treatment for small dogs and puppies weighing up to 4kg. Applied once to the back of the neck each month, it protects against fleas, heartworm, and common intestinal worms — consolidating the core parasite threats for small dogs into a single application that takes around a minute to administer.

The formula works against fleas, sarcoptic mange, demodex mites, and lice, while preventing heartworm disease and treating gastrointestinal roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms. Note that Advocate does not protect against ticks — if your dog is in a paralysis tick area, a separate tick preventative is needed alongside it. The spot-on format avoids the compliance challenges of tablets for small and toy breeds.

The combination of heartworm prevention and intestinal worm control in one product is what draws most owners to Advocate. The small green formula is colour-coded within the range, and its monthly cadence slots easily into a routine without requiring separate tracking for multiple treatments.
