Capstar Flea Oral Treatment for Cats, 2-25 lbs

Having never used Capstar and not even knowing what it was, I had my doubts & couldn't imagine that it would take affect within 30 minutes. But within 30 minutes after giving the pill to my 3 cats they all began running around, screeching & scratching as the fleas began to die & fall off. After about another 30 minutes the cats started settling down again. They stay completely clean of fleas for about 5 days & then a few fleas begin to show up again. I repeat the process once a week & that keeps the situation under control until I can decide which monthly flea control I can afford & will work best.

Oh my gosh, this little pill is amazing, I’ve been stressing out over these fleas on my kitties for a couple days because the topical treatment I used wasn’t working ): I was a mess trying to figure out how to give my babies relief without applying another topical because I can’t reapply another for 30 days. I got recommended Capstar and I had never tried an oral treatment, I had my worries, but I was desperate. These pills worked so fast! Within an hour I saw a couple fleas fall off slowly dying, a couple hours later I combed some out. I am so relieved that it’s working. if you are skeptical like I was, just try it out, trust me it works!!

I actually bought two of these pills for my cats at my vet office. My kids brought in fleas from the grass I guess, then the cats got infested with fleas. Within 25 minutes you could see the fleas falling off and dying onto the floor. I recommend keeping them in a room away from carpet. That way you can see the fleas fall off. It's actually quite satisfying. Also made there coat very smooth and no itchy skin. I'll never use anything else.

I could not believe how well this pill worled to kill fleas on the cats. I like that it is very small - easily hidden in a treat so it can be swallowed unknowingly. And no noticeable adverse effects on the animals. By the next day, no live fleas on the cats. We continue to use the Frontline to get the eggs that hatch.

I tried this product as we moved to a state with woods and our cats and dogs got fleas for the 1st time ever. I desperately looked for oral treatments and thought this would work. After giving this medication the fleas got worse, despite extreme measures taken to get rid of these pests. I do not recommend this product as it did nothing to help my fur babies.

So people saying capstar doesn’t work likely dont understand the lifecycle of the flea and how this med works. When using capstar, you treat the cats with it AT THE SAME TIME THAT YOU PUT A TOPICAL MONTHLY FLEA TREATMENT ON THEM. This way you kill adults beginning w/in 30 min & the monthly treatment kills larva/eggs etc. I had a terrible roommate who never treated her indoor/outdoor cats so our home would become INFESTED. Capstar and monthly treatment was the answer (protected MY cats while hers were miserable) though it got so out of control w/her that we also had to flea bomb the house to get some respite for HER cats.

My 10 month old kitty was scratching and biting, and so I assumed that my puppy may have brought fleas in from outdoors, but she's on preventative medication and the kitty is not. I thought I would try these, as I didn't see any fleas anywhere in the house and figured there must not be a ton of them on her. So I set an appointment to have her groomed, and in the three days prior I gave her two of these pills crushed up on her wet food. Today the groomer says they only found two live fleas on her, so I have to assume that the pills made a difference.

Like everything you buy read description. I thought I was getting a monthly flea pill. But I didn't read description.... Go me. My cat (that I rescued from a dog recently) was loaded with fleas. It's been 24 hours flea free. Will I keep an eye on him n retreat if needed yes. Highly recommend product. It definitely works. Also will be running to vet Monday to get a monthly pill.

I bought some for my dog and cat since we moved to a new apartment and it was infested with fleas, I gave them some but the pills would wear out really quick and I will have to give them some more again (while I’m still trying to get rid of the fleas in my house as well of course) I will recommend but make sure to treat your house to not only your pets ;)

i just found out my dogs had fleas. a very small infestation i would say total i’ve found around 40 in the past 2 weeks. i’ve tried everything. i comb them 2-3 times daily with dishsoap water, do flea baths, have flea collars, got household flea sprays which seem to be killing any other bug other than the fleas. i wash their bedding daily as well as any common area blankets etc. i was expecting these pills to work phenomenally, and they just dont. i found maybe a few dead fleas and i bought two packs. have been giving them to my dogs daily or every other day and i’m still finding a few fleas here and there.
