This year has been especially bad for fleas. I have tried several things to rid the fleas. Bought this. While my cats fought me on it, it did work. They are finally getting some relief and I am able to use other things to help combat the problem.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I’ve given two doses to my cat days apart. After each pill I still saw my cat scratching, I never saw fleas dropping or dying either.

Will give your pet immediate relief

Overwhelmed with fleas this year. I haven't had fleas in years! Picked up a few from my vets office. Didn't know it 'til it was too late. Advantage was no help. I was told if you have many many fleas Advantage will not get rid of the fleas. It's been a nightmare. To give my cat some immediate relief I gave him these pills. While I try and kill the thousands of fleas we have. This pill will work within a few hours and last for about 3 to 4 days before your pet is full of fleas again. In the meantime I have vacuumed daily. sprayed the whole house / carpet with VETS BEST flea tick house spray. smells so good / clover type odors. And, combed my cat with flea comb. I've got a good start but no where near finished with the flea problem. Sooo hard to get rid of fleas. I recommend Capstar pills ! 5 star rating for sure. I am trying to starve the fleas and kill them at the same time. good news is the fleas do not bite the people in the house, just my poor cat.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Questions

1 - 10 of 24 Questions
Sort by: Newest Answers

Is a dose a single table or all six tables in the box?

  1. One pill is a dose. You have six doses for 6 different days..



What is the easiest way to get a cat to take a pill? Can I crush it and mix it with water and squirter it in her mouth?

  1. Capstar is an oral flea tablet. We recommend hiding the tablet in food, like chicken. If the tablet is hidden in food, we recommend monitoring your cat to ensure the tablet is consumed. If you have additional questions, please contact our customer care team at 1-800-781-4738.



How does it last after giving the pill to my Bengal cat ??

  1. I think it only lasts a day. Maybe two. It just kills all the fleas on the animal, in about an hour or so, I believe. But the mfg. claims it an be given daily.



Can I use this with a topical flea treatment to prevent my cat from getting fleas?

  1. This is good if your car has fleas - it will kill the ones on it now. You should use it in conjunction with a topical to prevent a continuing infestation. Personal preference when I needed to use it was to do the capstar then the topical the next day, to identify any reactions.



I WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE 6 PAC-ITS OF CAPTION ORAL FLEA PILLS FOR CATS                                  

    What does the pill look like and what kind of markings will be on it?

      Is this a monthly treatment?

      1. No, this just kills fleas on the animal for 24 hours. It doesn't prevent an infestation.



      This Capstar flea tablets for dogs AND cats...how is it different from Capstar for cats only? It's cheaper; but what about the components?

        Can this be used on cats with frontline plus at the same time? thanks

        1. Yes, it can. I use it on my cats periodically even when they're using a topical. In my case it's usually Revolution. 



        Can I crush tablet?

        1. Yes, I have done that with my cats and sprinkle it their food. I usually use wet can food when I crush it up so I know they ate the whole dose. I love this product. It works quickly with killing the adult fleas with one pill. It doesn’t kill eggs, but it does kill the adults so they don’t lay anymore eggs!
