If you choose to hide the tablet in food, watch closely to make sure your pet swallows the pill. If you are not sure that your pet swallowed the pill, it is safe to administer a second pill.We recommend you follow up CAPSTAR treatment with a monthly flea control product such as PROGRAM, Frontline or Advantage. Then keep CAPSTAR on hand for the times when there is a visible flea re-infestation.

Capstar...Kills Fleas Dead!
There have been great advances in pet care in recent years, and among the very best is Capstar, a small pill that starts working in 30 minutes. Within 4 hours for dogs, and 6 hours for cats, tests have proven that up to 98% of adult fleas on the animal are no longer a problem, because their little flea souls have departed from their grubby bodies. Capstar, used along with a topical like Advantage, a flea comb and some housecleaning (remember to get rid of what has accumulated in the vacuum), should take care of any flea problem. Capstar is also safe enough for repeated dosage, and I have never seen a cat or even a small kitten adversely affected by taking it.

Living as I do in Southern California, the fleas seem to invade in the hot, muggy days of August, and even if your cats are indoor kitties like mine, they can get infected. One can bring fleas and/or their eggs and larvae in with your shoes, beach towels, etc. It is always good to be prepared in the warmer months with an ample supply of Capstar and a good quality topical. If you know any feral cats, they will also like having a Capstar slipped into some food for them, as it will at least temporarily alleviate the itchy flea hell they live in. If you see the slightest evidence of "flea dirt" in your home (minute black particles that are flea excrement, and actually dried blood from your pet), it's Capstar to the rescue! A miraculous product that both you and your pet will appreciate.

Best Flea Product EVER but use with another program!!
First I need to say in response to a number of other reviews that this is not something to prevent fleas or to be the end all to your flea problems. This pill gets you off to a great start but you need to use a prevention program with it. I use The Program with my pets. This way what ever bites them during the 24 hour period after being given Capstar just die. You may want to do capstar for 3 days in a row. Then use another flea treatment that helps with the prevention part.

I have two Shiba Inu dogs. Four years ago on the 4th of July my husband and I were driving in the country side and nearly hit two kittens on the road. I got out of my car to shoo them off the road and instead they rubbed up on my legs and purred. They were skinny and flea ridden. I decided to pick them up, wash them, feed them and bring them to the shelter the next day. Well, I found out that we didn't have shelters that took cats out here and everyone I worked with all laughed congratulating me on my new pets since they all had at least one cat themselves by accident. So here I was with two dogs and two cats. What I didn't count on was the flea infestation that would follow and my poor pups suffering as well. I tried everything I could find at the stores, we tried things that the vet gave us and they just kept coming. I then saw this product Captstar on PetMeds. It was expensive but claimed that all of the fleas would start dying within 30 mins. I really thought that this was too good to be true but was desperate. It arrived soon after and I gave it to all 4 animals. NOTE: GIVING A PILL TO A CAT IS NOT FUN NOR EASY!!! Especially when the pill is as small as this. I wish they could do something like the flavor tabs of other programs. After rolling my poor cats in towels and a few scratches I was able to give it to them. Any yes, within 30 mins they were literally just falling off. I did this for 3 days in a row (more due to the fact that the package has 6 tabs in each and I had two of each pet) but it worked!! I then put them on the Program and I have not seen a flea since. So much so, this past fall thru spring I stopped thinking the threat was gone...yeah, so here I am again, not quite with an infestation, but I know that I am not even going to let it get that bad. So I am buying them now. Amazon seems to be the cheapest place to find these as well.

I hope this helps and clears up some of the misconceptions from previous reviews. Trust me, this is WELL WORTH THE INVESTMENT!!

Wonderful Product
I give my dog a pill before taking him to the groomers so he won't bring any unwelcomed pest home with him. Also have had a problem getting rid of fleas and actually had to give my dog a pill for a couple of days while trying to get rid of the fleas. Didn't make him sick at all. Worked just fine.
