Capstar Flea Treatment Tablet for Medium and Large Dogs 6 Pack green (packaging may vary)

Product Information

But, because they were still eating, drinking, and using the litter box, I just kept thinking that it was some kind of extreme fatigue, or maybe disorientation from the medication itself. Capstar starts killing fleas that are on your animal within 30 minutes and the treatment lasts for 24 hours.

My friend suggested that I try Capstar for dogs as it used a new approach that seemed to work instantly. Puppies or kittens over 4 weeks of age and weighing over 2 pounds can safely be given Capstar flea tablets. Giving your dog too much medication can cause adverse reactions, while not giving enough may not fully eliminate the infestation. If your furry friend is infected with fleas, one of the options that are worth considering is Capstar flea treatment for dogs.

PetSmart is your destination for all your furry best friend’s flea and tick treatment needs–for puppies and dogs of all sizes and ages. I give my dog Capstar as needed, usually during the peak flea season or if I notice any signs of fleas on him. It certainly isn’t the cheapest, but it’s not the most expensive either when compared to other flea products. Nitenpyram should be used cautiously in pets between 4 to 8 weeks of age or pets that are thin or debilitated.

Nitenpyram (brand names: Capstar®, Bestguard®) is a systemic insecticide used to treat adult flea infestations. It's been really effective in getting rid of fleas quickly and I haven't noticed any side effects on my dog. The frequency of serious signs, including neurologic signs and death, was greater in animals under 2 pounds of body weight, less than 8 weeks of age, and/or reported to be in poor body condition. After using Capstar for dogs, I can confess that this is one of the most effective oral flea pills for dogs.A flea infestation is the last thing anybody wants which is why regular preventative treatment is important. According to the FDA, it is important to determine the ingredients used in pet flea medications as these could cause neurological problems. I am much less comfortable using some of the newer flea medications that don't have as much of a safety record. In addition to the common nuisance irritations associated with infestations, fleas can be responsible for skin conditions in your pet such as flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) in the dog and miliary dermatitis in the cat. Capstar only targets adult fleas on your pet and does kill the eggs or larvae that may be on your pet’s skin/coat or in your home.
