User Reviews about Novartis Capstar Flea Treatment Blue Tabs for Dogs and Cats
This is very good. One keep
fleas off of my cat and dog for
about 2 wks. Very pleased.
Just make sure they are outside
after given pill so fleas do on
reinfect your carpet. -- Good stuff!
We gave one of these to our cat.
Within 20 minutes she started itching a little more than usual, nothing serious.
Within 30 minutes fleas were falling off her and kicking around on their backs dying.
Within 2 hours she had quit itching and took a looong happy cat-nap.
Be sure to understand what this medicine is to be used for, it will kill fleas but not eggs or larva.
It only kills the fleas that bite the animal while it is active.
It will not stop new fleas from infesting your pet after it wears off.
We did a complete flea treatment of our house at the same time we gave this medicine to our cat.
-- It does what it is supposed to do, quickly.
I read a few reviews where people were crushing this in food. My cats might be a special case, but this delivery route didn't appear to work with them. I tried, twice, and nothing happened. Once I made them swallow a pill, the fleas started jumping ship within 20 minutes.
Another thing I learned - don't pour a crushed pill in your cat's mouth. He'll foam and slobber and get really pissed off. And it also doesn't work.
TLDR: crushing up pills might not work for you. Forcing a cat to swallow a pill isn't that bad. It's a lot easier than giving them a bath, and they forgive you, immediately. -- Must swallow whole!
I have a kitten that is missing one foot. She has a terrible time with fleas. I've washed her, brushed her, and used drops. I was desperate for something to give her some relief. Capstar worked wonders. The only complaint is that I have to give her one about every 5-6 days. I definitely recommend this product. -- Great Product
Works great but one must follow up with the egg preventitives this just kills adults -- effective but temporary
