  • Instant Relief for Flea Infestations – A Must-Have for Pet Owners!
Size: 6 Count
We recently tried the CAPSTAR (nitenpyram) Oral Flea Treatment for our pets, and it has been a game-changer in dealing with flea infestations. As a pet owner with multiple animals, flea treatments are essential, and this product provides fast, effective relief for our furry friends. Fast-Acting and Highly Effective What stands out about CAPSTAR is how quickly it works. After just a single dose, we saw immediate results. Within 30 minutes, fleas were dropping off our pets, and within a couple of hours, the infestation was significantly reduced. It’s perfect for those times when your pets need instant relief, especially if you’re dealing with an active flea problem. Safe and Easy to Administer This treatment is incredibly easy to give to our pets. The pills are small and can be given either directly or mixed with food. Both of our pets had no problem taking it, and it didn’t cause them any distress. The oral formula is safe and gentle, so we didn’t have to worry about harsh side effects. Works Quickly Between Other Treatments While this treatment doesn’t provide long-term flea prevention, it is an excellent quick-fix for an immediate infestation. It works well when paired with a monthly flea preventive to ensure your pets stay flea-free in the long run. It’s perfect for situations when you need fast relief before starting a longer-term flea prevention routine. Great Value for the Price For the results it delivers, the CAPSTAR Flea Treatment is a great value. It’s affordable and effective, especially for pet owners who are dealing with sudden flea issues. One dose is enough to take care of the problem, making it a practical option for those who need quick action. Final Verdict: A Must-Have for Fast Flea Relief If you’re looking for immediate, fast-acting flea relief for your pets, CAPSTAR Oral Flea Treatment is the product to choose. It’s effective, easy to administer, and works quickly to eliminate fleas, providing much-needed comfort for your pets. ✔ Pros: Fast-acting, easy to administer, effective, safe for pets ✘ Cons: Doesn’t provide long-term prevention (but works well with other treatments) Would I buy it again? Yes, especially for quick flea relief! ... show more

  • Good product for the money to protect cats from fleas
Size: 6 Count
I use this for the feral cats in the neighborhood - works very well but you definitely need to get more than one dose in for it to work effectively. I notice they scratched themselves less and there were no other side effects. It is a bit pricier if you have to buy it continously but it works

  • Only flea med that works instantly on my furry guys
Size: 12 Count
Love this stuff. Works for my cats (including my long hair fluffy girl). Had a pretty bad flea infestation a year ago and I tried everything and it was taking a while to get rid of them. Gave this pills to my cat and the fleas died off within two days. I became so traumatized from that infestation that I now give it to my cats once a month to prevent any infestation and it works great. I sometimes spot the dead fleas on the floor. It’s perfect, small in size and I have no issues sticking it into their mouth. I usually do a funny dance and then stuff it into their mouth real quick, they never see it coming hahaha. ... show more

  • No live fleas on day 1!!!!!
Size: 6 Count
LIFE SAVER!!! My two cats got fleas right before I had to leave for the weakened. I’ve never dealt with fleas and didn't realize how quickly things would go from “bad” to “calling an emergency vet”. THANKFULLY the receptionist at the veterinary hospital told me that typically fleas are not an emergency and that unless my cats are licking their skin raw and bleeding, that I should just stick to flea medication, baths and home treatment. I overnighted this medication along with Wondercide flea and tick spray. Within the hour, I saw very few live fleas on their body and dead fleas all over the surfaces I sprayed. It has now been about 10 hours and there are ZERO live fleas in sight !!!! All the fleas I comb out are good and dead!!! Do your cats a favor and get this combo! ... show more

  • Not Your Typical Flea Treatment
Size: 6 Count
I was first introduced to Capstar by my veterinarian. Capstar flea treatment for cats is unique compared to other typical flea treatments. It is not meant to be a treat once remedy that provides lasting protection against flea infestation. Instead, it is a fast acting medication that kills live fleas on cats and is intended to be used as-needed. It starts working quickly to provide almost immediate relief for your pet. Dosage is a single small pill which can be crushed up and mixed with your cat’s food. Once administered, within 20 minutes, you will notice that fleas are literally dying and falling off of your cat, leaving him/her free of infestation. If you have multiple cats, this provides a good method of killing off existing fleas all at once so that you can start other long-term treatments with a clean slate. Let’s face it, most flea collars simply cannot effectively treat a live flea infestation thoroughly. But coupled with a product like this, you can be sure that you’re starting off your long-term treatment with a minimal amount of surviving fleas, making it easier for the collar (or other treatment option) to maintain a flea free coat of fur. Each box of Capstar contains 6 tablets, suitable for cats from 2-25 lbs., that means it’s safe to use on kittens. It is safe to use as often as once per day, if needed. This is a unique product that works well at an affordable price. Highly recommended! ... show more

  • Easy to hide in food to eat
Size: 6 Count
It took us forever to get rid of fleas. There was no sight of any except on the cat. We used nearly all of these to finally get somewhere with killing them. I wouldn’t wish fleas on my worst enemy. I mean this is the first step to killing the ones on her then you gotta clean the mess off the cat and the surroundings. Ugh. PTSD while writing this now that they’re gone. She scratched, she spazzed, she was all over the place after we gave her a CapStar cuz they’re moving around her more freaking out - that’s normal. They’re super small so easy to hide in her food so she’ll eat it. ... show more
