About Capstar Flea Prevention for Dogs & Cats
Capstar Flea Treatment: Fast Acting Oral Flea Control for Dogs and Cats
Capstar is a veterinarian-strength oral treatment designed to provide near-instant relief from flea infestations. Unlike topical "spot-on" treatments, Capstar starts working from the inside out to kill adult fleas on your pet's body within minutes. It is the ideal solution for immediate flea knockdown, providing a safe and effective way to manage sudden outbreaks without the need for a prescription.
Available in two color-coded strengths, Capstar is suitable for both dogs and cats at every life stage. These small, flavorless tablets are easy to administer, ensuring your pet gets rapid relief from biting pests.
What Capstar Protects Against
✔ Adult Fleas (Starts killing fleas within 30 minutes of administration)
✔ Immediate Knockdown (Achieves 100% efficacy against adult fleas within 7 hours)
✔ Flea Allergy Dermatitis (Provides instant relief for pets suffering from severe itching)
✔ Biting Pests (Targets the nervous system of adult fleas upon ingestion)

What are the Benefits of Capstar for Pets?
-
Perfect for pets suffering from flea allergy dermatitis or severe itching, as it kills the biting adults almost immediately.
-

-
While Capstar kills adult fleas fast, it can be safely used alongside long-term preventatives (like Nexgard or Simparica) to break the flea life cycle.
