    Affordable and Effective for Small Dogs

    Rcruz - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
    After doing research, I decided to buy this flea treatment. What I liked most was its affordability and that it's specifically for dogs 2-25lbs. This makes it perfect for my small dog and I didn't have to break the bank to keep him flea-free. Highly recommend for small dog owners!

    I have a 75lb husky. Gave him one pill a day for six days and baths every other day. Still has fleas. This product does have an effect within the 30 minutes it claims. The fleas jump off and go after anything or anyone not treated. I bought this cause I work 7 days a week and struggle to get my dog to the vet. Definitely recommend using vet prescribed meds over these.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I prefer to use a flea treatment that lasts for a month or more. This is good for I guess if you just need to kill the fleas and then maybe you treat the yard so you don't have to worry anymore. Idk like I said I prefer something more long term.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I try sprays that only work for a couple of minutes. I tried drops that only work before 3 hours. I tried shampoo but the fleas kept coming back but one simple pill is all it took to get rid of them. I like it. I love it. I want some more of it. I'm going to have to put this on my auto ship subscription!

    Better than some of the other medicine available in stores

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been the worst year for fleas, by far, every other product available in stores has done absolutely nothing to combat how many fleas we were infested with. This helped to take the edge off but did not provide continued relief. But, I would buy again to help tackle the issue. (Finally got a script for bravecto from the vet and the two mixed together seemed to really help) please remember to consult with your vet before trying any new medication or mixing medication.

    CAPSTAR: A Fast-Acting Flea Solution Every Dog Owner Needs

    Little Big Petz - 7 months ago
    originally posted on CAPSTAR
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a proud pet owner of four dogs, ranging from 30 to 90 pounds, I'm always on the lookout for effective flea treatments, and CAPSTAR (nitenpyram) Oral Flea Treatment did not disappoint! I was able to give each of my pups a dose, and let me tell you, the results were impressive—fleas eliminated! It worked exactly as promised, and I couldn't be happier with how fast it kicked in. If you're a fellow pet parent, whether you've got a house full of dogs like me or just one, CAPSTAR is totally worth every penny. It truly does what it claims—gets rid of fleas quickly and efficiently. Highly recommend!
