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.

One never really knows if reviews are telling the truth. Our cat was suffering so I decided to try Capstar. We adopted a young stray cat last Oct that was literally starving. She is an outdoor cat & now that it’s flea season and she needed help. I got Capstar though I flinched at the price. Yet I was thrilled to see it works just as people have claimed. It’s really worth the price. I crushed the pill and added to her wet food and she ate it no problem. Within maybe 30-45 min she was no longer scratching or acting miserable like before. The next day for the first time ever she began rolling on our deck and showing her belly. It was like she was saying “thank you”. Capstar may be a bit pricy but it works. Thank you! Now along with using star I use an additional topical product to kill the eggs. I’m glad there’s such a wonderful, gentle, effective product as this. I’ll keep it on hand & continue to treat my cat as needed with Capstar and happily recommend it to others. .

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!
