Dealing with a flea infestation can be stressful for both you and your furry friend. Those tiny parasites multiply quickly, causing discomfort, irritation, and potential health issues for your dog. Traditional flea treatments often take days or even weeks to start working, leaving your pet miserable in the meantime.
Capstar (nitenpyram) changes the game by providing fast-acting flea relief that starts working in just 30 minutes after administration. This oral tablet doesn't require messy applications or waiting periods before letting your dog interact with other pets or family members. The active ingredient, nitenpyram, targets the nervous system of adult fleas, causing rapid paralysis and death.
When you give your dog a Capstar tablet, the medication enters their bloodstream and reaches fleas feeding within hours. In clinical studies, a single dose kills 90% of adult fleas on dogs within 4 hours. You'll actually see the dead fleas fall off your pet as the treatment takes effect—proof that it's working when you need it most.
Capstar is a trusted choice among veterinarians for treating acute flea infestations. It's safe for dogs and puppies weighing 25.1 to 125 pounds and is approved for pets as young as 4 weeks old. The treatment provides fast relief without the potential side effects of some topical treatments, making it ideal for dogs with sensitive skin or those who resist spot-on applications.
Keep Capstar on hand for those unexpected flea outbreaks or as a quick solution when bringing a new flea-infested pet into your home. It's also great for use before grooming, boarding, or vet visits to ensure your dog is flea-free. For ongoing flea control, Capstar works well alongside other preventive treatments to tackle both adult fleas and their life stages.
Don't let fleas ruin your dog's comfort or your peace of mind. With Capstar, you can provide immediate relief and get back to enjoying those happy, carefree moments with your canine companion.
