Heartworm prevention for dogs that works all month long

Without prevention, heartworm disease can be deadly. Unlike oral heartworm preventives for dogs, the topical moxidectin in Advantage Multi® absorbs into the body and keeps killing worms all month long. Plus, Advantage Multi® forgives if you forget. So even if you’re a few days late applying that monthly dose, just treat immediately and resume your monthly schedule.**

Helps protect from five parasites in one easy dose

Not every dog flea and heartworm medicine works the same way. Advantage Multi^® protects dogs from heartworm and intestinal worms, including hookworms, roundworms and whipworms, at multiple stages. It also prevents and treats flea infestations, killing fleas through contact so they don’t have to bite your pet to die. Advantage Multi^® even treats and controls sarcoptic mange, a skin infection caused by parasitic mites that dogs can pick up from other dogs at doggy day cares, dog parks and groomers.
