Medication information

What is Capstar?

Capstar Flea Oral Treatment for Dogs is a non-prescription flea tablet that effectively eliminates fleas in dogs and puppies. It starts killing fleas within 30 minutes to give your pet quick relief. One oral tablet kills over 90% of fleas within 4 hours for dogs. And because it’s an oral treatment, it won’t wash off your dog. Capstar is designed for pets with fleas rather than prevention. A single dose should kill the adult fleas on your pet. If they get re-infested with fleas, you can safely give another dose as often as once a day until all the fleas are gone.

What does Capstar treat?

Capstar treats flea infestations.

How is Capstar given?

If they get re-infested with fleas, you can safely give another dose as often as once a day until all the fleas are gone.
