Fantastic Product
By Katie on Jul 16, 2021
My story. Last year my pets had a real bad case of fleas. I bought shampoo, the cheap flea collars and eventually had to bomb the house. All because I thought I would save some money. So this year I said "Not Again". I just noticed my 9 cats starting to scratch. So I decided to try these tablets for my fur babies. I couldn't this year let them suffer again. So after there dinner I gave them the pill. It did however take a bit longer then 30 minutes to see a difference. But in the morning I took a flea comb and I couldn't believe what I saw! Dead fleas!!!!! I caught it early and I'm SO HAPPY!! THIS PRODUCT IS AMAZING, THANK YOU. So hear me, don't think of trying to save money, it's not worth My story.

WORKS Great!
By kittycool on Jul 16, 2021
I bought this for both my cats and I haven’t seen any on my white cats face sticking anymore. I still recommend taking them baths bc only kills adults. I mixed it into their wet food and fed with a syringe bc one of my cats doesn’t like wet food. One thing is I saw a bit of fleas fall off of them but I just ended up killing those even tho they couldn’t really walk/jump anymore. Make sure to treat their stuff like cat trees.

CapStar is a Great Product!
By Sabastian on Jul 26, 2021
This is a great product. I received the product a lot quicker than I thought I would. The fleas were gone from my cats within a day. The only con was it was hard holding the cats & getting them to swallow the pill. I even tried hiding it in a small piece of wiener but a couple weren’t having it and ate all but the pill. Other than that, great! They are so much happier as am I.

Very Fast Active
By Super on Jul 10, 2021
I have four cats. I tried this out on all four at the same time. Within 15-30 minutes I had 3/4 running up and down the halls scratching and being vocal. Ironically the other one slept through it. Fleas were jumping and crawling everywhere!!! My youngest caught a fever and it worried me for a little while but once they all took a nap it’s been sunshine and rainbows! I see a flea or two here and there but not like before. I’m very thankful I found this.

bye bye fleas
By candace on Jun 30, 2021
We bathed our cats in dish soap and flea shampoo and then gave them a pill each. We haven’t seen any fleas on any of our 4 cats for about 2 weeks now, even with our 2 dogs still having a few of them. The cats don’t itch as much anymore as well. I am very happy with this purchase and I strongly recommend. ^-^

WONDERFUL RESULTS
By AmyA on Jul 7, 2021
This is the ONLY flea medicine that has worked. I bought TONS of meds from the vet, never cleared it up. I tried this one time and it killed all the fleas and its been over a year without another flea. AND we have 2 dogs that go outside.

For BAD flea problem
By Renee on Jun 11, 2021
This stuff is OUTSTANDING for an infestation of fleas! Lucy was miserable with them. We ordered this for immediate relief & a monthly treatment. Both worked well but THIS really amazes me by how quick & thorough it attacked her problem. If your animal has fleas & sneaks/goes out from time to time, this product will amaze you. We live close to forest...fleas can be a real issue in summer! KEEP THIS PRODUCT AROUND! You won't be sorry!

I give this to my 3 cats monthly!
By kitten on Jul 11, 2021
This saves me tons of vet bills with my 3 cats and usually only 1 of them will give me a hard time taking it but it's not too bad if you put a lickable tuna treat over it to mask the pill smell!
