Capstar for Dogs: Fast-Acting Oral Flea Treatment for Dogs over 25 lbs

Capstar (nitenpyram) is a rapid-acting flea treatment tablet designed for use in dogs and cats. It effectively starts eliminating fleas within just 30 minutes of administration. With a single dose of Capstar, 90% of adult fleas are killed within 4 hours for dogs and 6 hours for cats, freeing your pet from these troublesome parasites. This treatment is suitable for dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens weighing 2 pounds or more and aged 4 weeks or above.

Key Features of Capstar include its ability to start killing fleas within 30 minutes of ingestion, providing fast relief for all cats and dogs in your household. It targets adult fleas before they have a chance to lay eggs and trigger an infestation. One tablet is capable of eliminating 90% of fleas within 4 hours for dogs and 6 hours for cats. Capstar is safe for daily administration until the flea infestation is fully resolved, effectively addressing adult fleas that could potentially lead to flea allergy dermatitis.

Capstar comes in two dosages: one for cats and dogs weighing 2 to 25 pounds (11.4 mg) and another for dogs weighing 25.1 to 125 pounds (57 mg). To administer Capstar, simply place the oral tablet directly in your pet's mouth or hide it in their food.

In situations where pets are already receiving a monthly or long-lasting flea preventative medication but encounter a flea infestation, Capstar can be safely used to combat the problem. It can also be combined with other products like heartworm preventatives, corticosteroids, antibiotics, vaccines, deworming medications, and shampoos.

While Capstar swiftly eliminates adult fleas on dogs and cats, a preventative solution is recommended to prevent any re-infestations from existing flea eggs and larvae in the environment. If more fleas appear on your pet after treatment, continue administering Capstar up to once daily.

Capstar is safe for use in puppies and kittens as young as 4 weeks and weighing 2 pounds or more. Always adhere to the label and usage instructions. The fast-acting nature of Capstar makes it a convenient, over-the-counter solution for effectively managing flea infestations in large dogs and puppies.
