My 7-week-old puppy has fleas. Can I give him Capstar safely?

Yes, I can give you a flea treatment program for Gracie. First, I would give her Capstar. It's a one time pill that starts killing fleas within 30 minutes. Then follow up with a spot on treatment, such as Advantage or Revolution. This is a treatment that has to be used once a month. You will also have to disinfect the environment. Wash her bedding in hot soapy water, and vacuum the furniture and carpet surfaces. You can use a spray to kill fleas in the house, such as Indorex, or a flea bomb would work well to kill the fleas in the home. Best of luck.

Great question! Yes, you can use Capstar now, and it's safe to use daily until it's time for his next dose of Revolution. Keep in mind that fleas live in the environment, not on the cat, so if you haven't disinfected your home, it will be a continuing source of fleas.

That should take care of the fleas. You can put the tablet in a small amount of canned cat food, or shove it down the throat if the pups won’t take it. I prefer to use a flea comb dipped in soapy water to remove any fleas from the pups. If you do this daily or more often you will get them all. I prefer Advantage to Frontline on tiny dogs as it’s less volume and I’ve had no reactions with it. Frontline sometimes irritates the skin and I do not find it to be as effective.
