      When your dog or cat is suffering from an itchy, irritating flea infestation, it’s important to act fast. With convenient, fast-acting Capstar tablets, there’s no need to wait. Capstar for dogs and cats is available without a prescription and starts killing adult fleas within 30 minutes.

      Capstar for cats and dogs is an oral treatment containing the active ingredient nitenpyram, which treats flea infestations from the inside out.

Capstar flea killer can be administered every day to help kill new fleas if they appear on your pet, so you can stop an infestation dead in its tracks. That’s especially important when it comes to preventing cross-contamination from other pets.
