Advocate™ Ultra Chew

Tapeworm infections in dogs are easy to miss but can be a serious risk to people. Most dogs with tapeworm infections don’t look sick at all, which is why infections often go unnoticed. However, some types like hydatid tapeworm (Echinococcus granulosus) can be passed from dogs to humans and may cause potentially fatal cysts in human organs. Advocate Ultra Chew is the only all-in-one chew that kills tapeworms too.

Advocate Ultra Chew has been used safely with a variety of medications around the world. For further advice, contact your veterinarian.

Before changing to Advocate Ultra Chew, check that your dog is older than 8 weeks of age, and weighs at least 2 kg. If changing from a product that provides tick control, maintain the dosing interval of the original product - i.e. start Advocate Ultra Chew when your dog is next due for their tick prevention treatment, then continue monthly dosing. However, if changing from a product that does not control ticks, it is important to start protecting your dog as soon as possible. Give Advocate Ultra Chew with your dog’s next meal. However, if you’ve given your dog a worming product today, wait a couple of days before administering Advocate Ultra Chew.

Yes, Advocate Ultra Chew can be given to heartworm-positive dogs. However, a diagnostic test for heartworm prior to using Advocate Ultra Chew is recommended to ensure the optimum health of your dog.

Seresto is recommended for all dogs at risk of ehrlichiosis, as it is the only product that reduces the transmission of the deadly disease from brown dog ticks to dogs. If it is the first time using the products in combination you can separate out the doses by a couple of days. For further advice, talk to your vet.

Most adverse reactions are self-limiting and of short duration. If you have any concerns, please contact your veterinarian or our Animal Health Consultants on 1800 995 709.
