Flea pills work good
Size: 6 Count Style: Small Dog 2-25 lbs
I use these for my dogs. The prices reasonable and they work really good. They may not be the best bet when my dogs take them. You can literally see the fleas fall on the floor. I have not called any issues with my dogs hair or any type of allergy. I buy 30 days supply because I like using the pills instead of liquid. ... show more

Works short term
Size: 6 Count Style: Small Dog 2-25 lbs
Works, started killing fleas in 30 minutes or so. Fleas get hyperactive before they die and their movements made my dog run around frantically. Worried he had a reaction to the medication at first, but it was just the fleas moving on him. Seemed to work on him for around 36 hours. He then got reinvested. Used it to help while waiting until enough time had passed to apply advantix II. It is pricey but effective for a short time, I killed every single flea for a short time. ... show more

Temporary flea control
Size: 12 Count Style: Small Dog 2-25 lbs
Capstar works wonderfully on fleas. But it is only a temporary solution; about 24 hours. It can be given several consecutive days but it is quite expensive and is not a preventative. I still recommend it for fast, temporary flea control. But I wish I had bought a collar sooner.

Works
Size: 12 Count Style: Small Dog 2-25 lbs
It really does start working the same day. By day 2 I noticed a lot less fleas. It’s very small so you can hid it in food. Just pricey for how many pills you get. This will last about a week until it stops working.

Works, but not as well as it used to
Size: 6 Count Style: Small Dog 2-25 lbs
I’ve used this product before and it used to work really well at killing the fleas on my dog. This time it only worked so-so. It seemed to help, but I’m still seeing fleas on my dog after using it. I was hoping it would work as well as it did in the past

It works with hours
Size: 6 Count Style: Small Dog 2-25 lbs
My dog is on Bravecto oral medication. It only last 2 months and not 3. My poor dog was scratching himself and a few fleas jumped on me. I tried this out of desperation. The fleas on him died within hours. I like that it wear off 24 hours later. This is great if you have a flea infestation brewing on your dog ... show more

Works great!!
Size: 6 Count Style: Small Dog 2-25 lbs
These capstar caps for small dogs or cats from 2–25 pounds works exactly as it says. I’ve been using this product for many years. These pills work great, within about 20-30 minutes and you can see your animal stopping scratching. And if you use a flea comb within a couple of hours, you’ll get dead fleas in the comb. There is no odor whatsoever. I’m not sure how they taste personally, but the cats or dogs don’t seem to mind the taste especially if you pop it down their throat or give in a treat. Their happiness is a of paramount concern to all of us animal parents. As far as value for the money, they have been raising the cost of this considerably, but if you need it and you must have it immediately, it’s definitely worth spending the money. Otherwise, I’m not sure that it’s a good value for the money. You can give one of these to them every 24 hours if needed, I would also urge you when you’re doing so to use some kind of a spray or something on any furniture and carpet or at least wash them as well at the same time It does get rid of fleas ON them. So making sure they’re bedding is also clean and safe when this is all done is a good thing to do simultaneously ... show more

Efficient and radical!
Size: 6 Count Style: Small Dog 2-25 lbs
When I just adopted my puppy, we went to Sonoma and the person that hosted us didn’t tell us that her house was infested by fleas. I woke up to my puppy screaming in the middle of the night, and I didn’t even need a light, the parasites were crawling all over her. Of course, it happened on a Sunday, and the following day was July 4th, so the three veterinarian and pet stores within a 50 miles radius were closed. Thank GOD for Amazon, that delivered this product. As she was a puppy, she could only have half a dose, and even that was too much. But after 12hours of torture, she eventually got a break from the monsters and was able to sleep. All this to say, after using this product for a year now, as I constantly battle with fleas all year round because both my cats are outdoorsy, this is the most efficient and fast remedy I’ve found for my dog. Although, as efficient as it is, it is not a full remedy against fleas, and has to be completed with anti flea treatments, full house eradication and thorough shower with adequate anti flea shampoos of all your pets. I took one star off because even though this product has done wonders, I feel like over time the fleas have built a resistance against it and is now after a year not as efficient ... show more
