5Works well for my cat
By L.A. Garrison
Apparently galore cats and dogs respond gravely to this medication, but it works marvelously for my cat.

She weighs just 10 pounds, so I give her half a tablet (I cut them apart in a regular pill cutter) and any fleas she’s picked up fall off and die. My vet explained to me that the chemical in Capstar isn’t recognized by the animal’s body – it just passes through without being absorbed and broken down. It comes out as a gas through the pores of the skin, and acts on the fleas like cyanide gas acts on people. It’s without any delay lethal to the fleas. Unfortunately, when the fleas get the initial whiff of gas, they respond by biting REALLY HARD in a reflexive reaction. Some cats and dogs who have assorted fleas may experience sudden very hard bites in numerous areas of their bodies, which could account for the jumping around and panting. It doesn’t feel very good. Flea bites are terrible under normal circumstances, and their “death bites” are worse.

About twenty minutes after I give her the half-tablet, my cat starts scratching and/or licking hard at any fleas that are biting her. It goes on for regarding 10-15 minutes. Then they fall off and die. They don’t totally die right away, so I stay away from her for the duration of this phase, or they’ll jump on me and commence their dying bites, and it’s not pleasant!

Since I only give her half a tablet, a box lasts me twice as long as usual. I give her a tablet each 3 weeks or so, whenever she picks up a flea or two or three. She’s an outside cat so we struggle with this off and on all summer. I also take her to the vet to get her Program shot, which works in conjunction with the Capstar tablets. Program keeps the fleas from laying fertile eggs, so the house doesn’t get infested.

3Great as an original attack on fleas!
By bwilkins15
I got this product because we all of a sudden had a flea infestation on both my cats and my chihuahua. It worked outstanding to kill the adult fleas and started within regarding 2 hours. But I would VERY strongly commend that you have a long term treatment without delay available. I purchased a topical solution as well but it had not been delivered yet and the flea eggs already on my dog hatched in the meantime. My dog was COVERED in fleas the day after! I gave him another dose and used the topical solution and now he is flea-free. YOU WILL NEED SOMETHING TO KILL THE EGGS ALSO!!!

5Really Works
By G. Kistler
Was using Frontline for years until last summer. It just wasn’t working any more. I was having a hell of a time attempting to rid my three cats and dogs of fleas. This product did the job! I in truth saw the dead fleas falling off. I now use Revolution to keep it that way!
