Capstar Flea Treatment Tablet for Medium and Large Dogs 6 Pack green (packaging may vary)

Product Information

Just so you’re able to make a complete decision, have a glance at the way Capstar for Dogs performs in relation to its competition. There’s no point in treating your dogs if the adult fleas can feed on your rabbit, or on the neighbour’s cat that sleeps on your sofa sometimes! If you’ve applied flea treatment but can still see live fleas on your pet, you should resist the urge to re-apply the flea treatment. Doubling up on dosing can be dangerous for your pet, and unnecessary, if you are using already using an effective flea product. If you remember the flea life cycle, you will still be having pupae hatching in the environment with the adult fleas hopping onto your pet for a few months.

If you aren’t sure who the owner is, a cat-safe paper collar is a good way to send a message home asking someone to call you. 3. Not waiting long enough

Flea Infestations on Dogs and Cats

Secondly, it’s important to remember that the cocoon stage is immune to all known insecticides… and it can survive in that stage for 12 weeks or more if conditions aren’t right for hatching. The product is ideal only for small to medium sized dogs. For stronger breeds, the product may not be enough. Each tablet consists of one dose and the pill starts its flea killing action as soon as your pet ingests it. Capstar has also been studied using 10 times the labeled dosage for 30 days without adverse effects being seen.

Cats (4 weeks of age and older and 2 pounds of body weight or greater) Dogs (4 weeks of age and older and 2 pounds of body weight or greater) Benefits: Please follow these precautions and warnings so that you can safely give your dogs and cats their flea treatment. Captar is effective for killing fleas at their adult stage. It won’t kill them in the larval stage. It may take a few days of treatment before all fleas are killed on your pets. Once the fleas are killed, and you have thoroughly cleaned your home, given flea bath treatments for your pets, and hosed down your outdoor regions to kill any lingering fleas, then your family should be able to live in comfort for the rest of the season. Flea eradication may be difficult, but it’s a necessary part of having a family. You’ll want to regularly treat your outdoor pets for fleas, but you won’t have to dose them as often with the pill once you stop seeing fleas around the home.

This medication treats the pet only. To properly control fleas all pets must be treated and the outside and inside environments also need to be treated to prevent a reoccurrence. In the event of overdose:

Capstar should kill all fleas on your pets within one day. If not, you can safely give them one tablet per day until the box is empty. Nitenpyram has also been considered one of the safest flea medications to use for breeding, pregnant, and lactating animals. While birth defects and neonatal loss have rarely been reported, the risk is considerably lower compared to use of other flea medications. If your pet gets re-infested with fleas, then you can do a second treatment. If the flea infestation is really bad, then give another dosage as often as once per day, but only up to 6 total days. There may be lingering fleas in the home that can re-infest your pet. CAPSTAR Tablets do not have an effect on fleas in the pet’s environment. You may need to treat more than one time because immature fleas in and around the home will continue to develop into adults that can reinfest your pet. One effective type of flea treatment is called Capstar. This is an oral tablet that you can give your dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens. What Is Capstar?

Active Ingredients

Here are a few things to think about though, before you add more products into the mix. Flea infestations can be obnoxious and take some time to resolve, because there can be hundreds or even thousands of eggs in an environment that keep hatching and releasing new fleas. Once they’ve grown large enough, the larvae pupate, spinning a camouflaged cocoon from carpet fibres and dust. In the pupa, they transform from this caterpillar-like legless larva into an adult flea with long legs for jumping and an appetite for animal blood. They may then hatch or — if they sense conditions aren’t right — they could wait in the cocoon, protected, forseveral monthsif necessary. None of the flea products on the market can kill flea pupae. Fleas are also known to cause a skin condition on dogs called FAD–Feline Allergy Dermatitis, and miliary dermatitis in cats. This makes dogs and cats excessively itchy, and can eventually lead to skin infections that can negatively impact the health of your pet. Giving your pets Capstar can kill fleas that cause this condition. Whilst an adulticide treatment appears to be cheaper than one that treats more life stages, remember that you’ll need to treat for twice as long to get rid of a flea infestation!
