Works great
By Birdie on May 14, 2021
So happy that I got this product. I read the reviews and decided to give it a try, and it worked just as good as it says. The cats have stopped scratching as much as they were and was very easy for them to take. Will definitely buy this again.

Helps treat, NOT prevent.
By Valeria on Apr 22, 2021
I noticed both my cats had been scratching and biting so I decided to give Capstar a chance. Within 30 minutes of giving the pill to each cat they completely stopped scratching and biting themselves. Definitely helped temporarily treat the problem however does not prevent from getting them again. Will keep them on capstar until my yard is treated. First time trying and satisfied.

Don't buy waste of money
By mandi on Apr 19, 2021
I bought this because my cats won't wear flea collars and won't let me put drops on them . I bought this gave it to them and gave it a few days and used a flea brush and my cats still have fleas . It was a complete waste of money. The reviews were good but it didn't work for my cats and now I'm out nearly 40$

y’all could save some $
By T2002 on Apr 17, 2021
Guys... this product and CapAction are literally the EXACT same, ingredients and everything and capaction is cheaper! Do yourself a favor and get it instead because there is no difference between the two and you can save yourself some money. Not sure why this product has so many sales and capaction doesn’t, maybe people don’t know about it? But yeah long story short I purchased and tested both (picture attached) to compare and they are indeed identical.

Flea Pills
By Buggsbunny on May 1, 2021
I gave 5 stars because it seems to be working. A topical application didn’t work after a while. It’s been a couple of weeks now and the scratching seems to have stopped. Curious how long this will continue. The package was 6 pills and I have 3 cats. I gave each one a pill.

Great alternative flea med for feral cats
By Chita on Apr 17, 2021 top1000Contributor
A feral cat comes for meal in my backyard, but I can't come close to him. He lost hair in some area and scratching all the time. This flea oral tablet has no taste and smell, so it is easy to mix with wet food after crash it into powder. It took 2 administrations (1 tablet a day) to see the result. I have to give this often to control flea since this medication does not kill flea eggs or flea larvae, but it is a great option for feral cats.

It worked.
By Imownedby3cats on Apr 7, 2021
I have been battling fleas since October. I've bombed my house, used topical flea stuff on my cats multiple times and nothing seemed to help. I got this, and this time, I bathed the 3 cats used a flea comb to get all of them off. Bombed my house again (3or 4 time) used topical on them. About 2 days later I saw 1 or 2 fleas on 2 of them. I gave all 3 1 pill each and haven't seen any since.

good product
By Dore on Apr 11, 2021
It works! I have an indoor cat who won't let us give her the advantage drop on her shoulder blade. We just crush this into her food once a month & she has no issues with eating her food. Good product for outdoor cats too. Easy product to add to their food.
