Information
Capstar Oral Flea Treatment for Dogs
Capstar Oral Flea Treatment for Dogs is a fast-acting solution designed to provide immediate relief from adult flea infestations. Formulated with nitenpyram, this oral tablet starts killing fleas within just 30 minutes of administration, helping quickly reduce discomfort and itching. Capstar provides short-term flea control and does not offer ongoing prevention. A single dose kills a high percentage of adult fleas within hours, making it an ideal option when rapid flea control is needed. Suitable for dogs and puppies from 4 weeks of age and weighing at least 2 lbs, Capstar offers a convenient, mess-free way to manage sudden flea outbreaks.

- Kills adult fleas quickly
