Capstar Dog 11.4 mg - Rapid elimination of fleas in dogs - ELANCO

Why choose Capstar to quickly eliminate dog fleas?

Capstar contains nitenpyram, a molecule known for its rapid action against adult fleas. It immediately neutralizes the parasites present on the animal, which prevents reproduction and thus reduces the risk of allergy or reinfestation. Administered as a palatable tablet, the product makes life easier for owners. From the first dose, the dog benefits from direct and effective protection. Thus, you provide your animal with a better quality of life, while simplifying the management of infestations.

What is the best flea treatment?

A dominant question since many flea treatments exist. There are almost as many flea treatments as there are forms: collar, spray, tablets, pipettes (spot-on) or even shampoo. The only thing Produits-veto can guarantee is that a flea treatment is not universal, it depends on the level of infestation, the animal, its breed, its allergies (a collar can for example trigger redness). It is not an exact science, so it is necessary to consult your veterinarian for the first doses and to consult them again for any adverse effect.

How to radically eliminate fleas?

If only we had a magic wand. If your cat or your ferret has fleas, this means its environment has them too. That's why we recommend:

1. Prevent flea infestation: A preventive treatment on your animal helps prevent rather than cure.
2. In case of infestation, treat the environment: Using manual or automatic diffusers in your home.
3. Clean your home: Vacuum your floors, carpets, curtains, sofas and armchairs, then wash your cushions and bed linens.

How to find a flea nest?

At the top of a tree, right? All joking aside, you can tell visually if your animal is infested if you find small black droppings on the head and neck. As with your child, a comb can also help you with the task.
