Fast Delivery, Fast Acting
Our Golden encountered a situation where he got a lot of fleas. On the vet’s recommendation, we got a Capstar to take care of the immediate situation and not wait for his regular treatment to kick in. Worked like a charm – next day no itching, scratching or fleas. I gave it to him in a pill pocket so cannot comment on the taste. Great product!

This stuff works
For those who need to know, this stuff works, but it only kills the fleas on the dog. It is not a preventative measure. It is best to use this in conjunction with flea treatment, traps, and sprays

Nuclear option against fleas
Ben Says: The war was itchy, but victory was ours.We do our best to keep our pets flea-free with monthly topical treatments, but every now and then a few stubborn invaders slip through. When that happens, we go nuclear — enter Capstar.Roxy and Bernie deserved to be itch-free, and this little pill delivered swift justice. Within hours, the scratching stopped, and the battlefield (our living room) was calm again.The hardest part? Getting the dogs to actually take the pill — they acted like it was a trap from the enemy. But once swallowed, it worked exactly as promised. Quick, effective, and worth keeping in the arsenal for when fleas dare to test your defenses.

It actually worked for our dogs
Works well and will be purchasing again. We ended up with big flea problem this year. We believe they became immune to the previous products we used. The topical treatment no longer worked. So several sprays of yard and home has definitely had impact, and using CAPSTAR, really does a good job of killing the adult fleas on our dogs (3 dogs, one little, one mid-size and one large). Still trying to find right product for outside, and just retreated the inside and gave the last dose. Fleas are almost entirely gone, so we will purchase one more set.

Didn’t work at all for Alaskan Malamutes
First, let me point out that CapStar is NOT a preventative! It is supposed to kill adult fleas on the dog but it doesn’t prevent them from getting fleas again – not does it kill anything but adult fleas, which means you still need something (monthly topical or oral flea medicine) to kill the eggs and the larvae or those will obviously mature into adults and you and your pet are stuck in the vicious cycle.That being said, here is my first and only experience with CapStar. We have never had flea issues until this year. I have two Alaskan Malamutes – one 105 pound “short hair” and one 110 pound long hair. Clearly, they both have the Malamute thick double coat. We usually like K9 Advantix II for flea treatment/prevention. Early this summer, I bought the Amazon brand that has the same ingredients. As K9 Advantix Ii. It arrived with no expiration date and I’m not sure if that’s the reason that it doesn’t seem to work, that it’s not the same formula or perhaps the fleas have become resistant… or it’s just an especially overwhelming year for fleas. Either way, I thought by trying this first and THEN putting their prevention on within a day or two would work. I gave them each a CapStar pill, nervously watched for adverse reactions and thanked God they didn’t seem to have any issues. It also didn’t seem to help the flea situation – they continued scratching and biting as before. Because I didn’t want to give them back to back, I waited for about 48 hours before giving another CapStar to each of them. Once again, no reaction but the scratching and chewing hasn’t subsided at all nine hours later. In fact, I almost feel like both times, they are actually scratching more after the CapStar tablets?? It makes me wonder if it is actually not killing the fleas but just irritating them and making them more active and angry (or at least more hungry LOL). I really needed this to work and was hoping that in conjunction with a topical preventative, we would be able to both kill AND prevent reinfstation with a two prong attack. Sadly, we are just out more money, time and effort.I should mention that a long side this effort, I treated the bedrooms that have carpet (the rest of the house has hard floors and we have a no-knap, outdoor rug I’m the living room because it can be power washed) Anyway, I sprayed the Vet’s Best Flea & Tick Home Spray on the carpet, mattresses and washed bedding & blankets. It’s difficult to get every possible location that a flea could be hiding but I was fortunate to be able to see a flea and spray directly on it. The Vet’s Best spray killed it in less than 10 seconds. It does say that you can apply it to your dog’s coat and rub it in down to their skin. That sounded too unrealistic with their thick coats but because it is natural, smells really nice IMO and obviously works, I think I will still attempt that on most of their cost/body, add Diatomaceous Earth to the floors, dog beds, rugs, etc and THEN try reapplying topical prevention. I just have to decide of I am going to use some of the 8 tubes I have left of the Amazon brand or try something else – might pick up the Frontline Plus that’s on sale at Costco tomorrow.

It worked okay.
Not a big fan. If you are thinking about buying these I would just go ahead and get your animal on an actual flea medicine. It helped us a little bit but we ended up getting monthly medicine instead.

Works quickly to kill adult fleas
Works quickly to kill fleas. Only lasts for 24 hours and does not kill flea eggs or other pests. Used by veterinarians.

Works
I have been using this product for a very long time. In fact, it’s probably the only flea medicine that use for my dogs. In the winter, I don’t use as frequently. I might use it once a month in the summer. I use it more frequently. I’ll give them a tablet in the beginning of the month and then I repeat it probably 12 days later it has worked for me I use it on my cats. I use it on my dogs. There is a cat formula. I was introduced by to this product by my veterinarian and continue to use it. I have used it on several different dogs. I have used it on my German Shepherd. I have used it on my St. Bernard. I used it on my lab. I use it on my corgi. I use it for my cats like I said and I haven’t had a problem with fleas. The good thing about this product is if you see the flea starting you give it to them and boom you can see them dying within a half hour. It’s amazing. I am sure that if you live out in the country somewhere and your dogs running in the woods you might have to use it more regularly. I am in the city. I don’t really besides walking my dogs have my dogs running outside. I have used this product like I said probably for over eight years.
