Directions for
Use
Place the applicator tip through the animals hair to the skin level. For dogs
up to 55 lbs, apply to skin on back between the shoulder blades. For dogs over
55 lbs apply in 3 or 4 spots along the dogs backline starting between the
shoulder blades extending back to the base of the tail. For cats, apply to the
skin on the back of the neck at the base of the skull. Give the appropriate dose
depending on the dog?s weight. For dogs over 88 lbs apply the appropriate
combination of pipettes. Advocate for Dogs/ Advantage Multi for Dogs is safe for
use on pregnant and lactating bitches.
Cautions
Do not get Advocate in the pet?s eyes or mouth. Use with caution in sick,
debilitated or underweight animals. Do not use in puppies under 7 weeks of age
or kittens under 9 weeks of age. This product causes eye irritation in humans
and is harmful if swallowed. Avoid contact with skin. Seek medical attention if
swallowed. If on skin, wash with plenty of soap and water. If in eyes, flush
with plenty of water. Advocate for Dogs/ Advantage Multi for Dogs should not be
allowed to enter surface waters as it has harmful effects on aquatic organisms.
Moxidectin is highly toxic to aquatic organisms. Dogs should not be allowed to
swim in surface waters for 4 days after treatment.
Possible Side Effects
Individual sensitivities, while rare, may occur after using any pesticide
product for pets including Advocate. If signs persist, or become more severe,
consult a veterinarian immediately. Use for Dogs or Cats may result in transient
pruritus (itchiness) in the animal. On rare occasions greasy fur, redness and
vomiting can occur. These signs disappear without further treatment. If the
animal licks the application site after treatment, transient neurological signs
may be observed infrequently. Advocate tastes bitter. Salivation may
occasionally occur if the animal licks the application site immediately after
treatment. This is not a sign of intoxication and disappears within some minutes
without treatment. Correct application will minimise licking of the application
site.
