Worked like a charm! No more itching!
By Jenn on Oct 6, 2021
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.

Great product
By DANAEASLEY on Oct 23, 2021
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.

Do not buy
By Kimm on Oct 5, 2021
Treated my cats twice. It only kills adult fleas, no larva or eggs ....even had house and yard sprayed before treating cats, still didn't work. I do not recommend this item. I had to buy several boxes because it only comes with six tablets. I have 7 cat/kittens. It was quite costly and was cheaper to take them to the vet for treatment. Waste of money that I didn't have to spare. It costed me more in the long run trying to avoid taking them to the vet where they got the fleas in the first place ................

it works good
By Xime17 on Oct 14, 2021
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 ;)

easy peasy
By TeriBeari on Sep 21, 2021
It was easy enough to get the cats to take them, I was grateful for that. Mostly grateful for the absence of fleas! We had a horrible time of it last month. If I describe it to you you'd have nightmares. I took them to the vet who was supposed to have treated the problem. This was on a Friday, I had to hold them over the weekend to keep the fleas from carrying them off. I called the vet and reported to staff that fleas were worse. I don't drive, so it took several days to get them back to the vet. About $500 later the fleas were gone. The vet said one of the things he treated them with was the Capstar. I immediately got on the phone to Chewey, and I will never let my babies down again It was easy enough to get the cats to take them, I was grateful for that. Mostly grateful for the absence of fleas!

Disappointing
By SADIEandMILLIE on Sep 28, 2021
My cats still had live fleas on them after 2 treatments. Everyone was hyping up that this killed them so quickly. I had faith in them. Each cat has about 6-8 fleas on them at a time, so it’s not even like they have too many to maintain. My apartment was steam cleaned and vacuumed throughly. I even took a day off work to make sure I got every nook and cranny. The battle continues- I’ll have to steam clean again when Advantage II comes in. Just a hassle when this was supposed to work. Not worth the buy!

didn’t work for me
By heaven on Sep 18, 2021
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.

Works every time!
By BellaKitty1 on Oct 5, 2021
I've used capstar for about 3 years, maybe 2 to 3 packs per year. Once I see Bella scratching, I crush a tablet into her food. Minutes later, she behaves a little nutty for a few minutes , but a few short hours later, fleas seem to be gone, gone, gone. I think I'm able to get rid of them before they lay eggs. Best flea treatment!

My Kittens Did Not Like These
By desertRose on Sep 29, 2021
My kittens would not eat these, alone or in their food. SOO, I have no way to rate its effectiveness at all. I can not in good conscience rate this product in any way, other than my kittens would not eat them. Maybe work on the taste some? The computer is making me rate these so I am giving them the lowest score: again, because, my kittens would not eat them. Will not work if can not get them into the cat or kitten.

It worked for our guy!
By Felix on Sep 30, 2021
I was on the fence..but after reading the reviews I decided to try it within 2 treatments he was flea free. We definitely noticed he was more content within an hour of use And they are small enough for them to take with no problem! I’ve already recommended it to my family and friends with fur babies
