Did your pal bring some extra critters home from the dog park, or after an adventure through the backyard? Don't worry—you can help your pet ditch the fleas with Capstar. These tablets offer swift relief from adult fleas and can be used whenever you find fleas on your cat or dog.

Capstar starts killing fleas within 30 minutes of administration and keeps rapidly killing fleas for at least 24 hours. Help your dog get the relief she needs.

Important Information
Fleas rise to the top of your pet's coat as they die, so consider it a triumph if you start seeing more fleas at first, after treating your pet. If you’re still seeing fleas after application, it may be because your pet has picked up new fleas from the environment, which may include other pets, surfaces and outdoor areas. It may take up to 30 days to break the entire flea life cycle. Additionally, you should also treat sources of new fleas (i.e., carpet, yard, etc.) to ensure complete flea control.

Don’t use just alone
By Luna on Sep 12, 2021
Fleas are no joke and I didn’t know this was available until looking through the site. I gave my dog a bath with flea killing shampoo, we used frontline and then I gave her this for 3 days. We made it to the vet the next week and he said sure thing not a flea on her and I took the right steps. So don’t expect one to work all by itself to get rid of them but we will keep these on hand incase we come across another issue. She does take a monthly prescription but even Covid is backing up our vet office. So we now have a few months stocked so we don’t miss a month or 2 again.

Works Great!
By Sheila on Aug 28, 2021
I have 6 cats and 2 dogs. Started using capstar last year and it has worked great on all of them! I see some people saying it didn't work for them. If you have fleas in your house and you don't take care of it they will continue to have fleas. This also only last for a few days so if there are fleas in your yard your animals will bring them in. The only thing I wish is that it lasted longer. Other than that this is a great product!

It works great
By ColleenJoy on Sep 10, 2021
We use Capstar when the fleas are really bad in summer even though we use a topical flea treatment. Sometimes it seems like there are just too many for the topical treatment to wipe them out. Capstar is a safe way to knock the population down. The fleas literally drop dead. The dogs never show any side effects.

Doesnt Work
By Flower on Oct 5, 2021
This stuff doesn’t work.. and now I have to wait to dose my animals with something different to get rid of the fleas because you cant over medicate them. They’re miserable and I’ve wasted money. Boo!

Doesn’t work
By Mgibson on Sep 2, 2021
This stuff is a joke! Why does every flea product have to be hit or miss. I’ve had my house professionally treated, given this pill to my dogs and it has done absolutely nothing!! Don’t waste your money!! IT DOES NOTHING!!

Does not work at all
By Jenn on Sep 4, 2021
We have given our dog five of these over the last few weeks. Three of which were three days in a row. Zero of the fleas we have found, while combing, have been dead. She still has them and it is infuriating.

Works, but requires multiple treatments
By ALJ2059 on Oct 3, 2021
Product does what it says, gets rid of 90% of adult fleas. Nothing else. Must be used in combination with more treatments or other products.

Worth the money
By Teresa on Aug 1, 2021
I used it on my 4 dogs. Drove some of them crazy for about a half hour. The fleas were running after it started killing them. Took a flea comb after about an hour and got so many dead fleas
