Capstar

On the Healthy Pets website, you'll be confronted with plenty of different Capstar products that you can buy to eradicate unwanted fleas that are wreaking havoc in your household. There are products that have been designed exclusively for dogs, capsules that are suitable for cat consumption only, and medication that can be used by both the canines and the felines in your family. In this article, we're going to get more information about the benefits of Capstar, and the features in this leading flea removal product.

Capstar is also known as "nitenpyram", and the reason why different versions of this medication are available is because of the different weight classes that you can see in cats or dogs. If you have a Labrador that weighs over 25 lbs for example, you will need to ensure that the dosage is enough to eliminate the serious problem of fleas completely. Female fleas have the potential to lay thousands of eggs during their lifespan, and the sooner you can treat this irritant for your beloved animal, the better.

Now, one of the worries of admiring pet owners can be whether or not it is safe to give their dogs a pill that they have to swallow. If you're not confident enough to just feed them the pill directly, it's absolutely fine to hide it in the dog food you give them. As Capstar is only required once a day, you may choose to bury it in the main meal they consume. The only thing you need to watch out for is that the pill is swallowed whole, and if you're in doubt of this, there's no harm in providing a second tablet to compensate for the doubt you have.

The products that are available for dogs and cats are only suitable for canines who are safely underneath 25 lbs. After all, it's very rare that you will find a cat heavier than this! Capstar is only suitable for when you want to attack an infestation of fleas in your pets, and the manufacturers of this pet drug actively recommend that you also use other products such as Frontline to prevent the fleas returning. If this precautionary measure fails and your pet becomes visibly distressed, it may be necessary to start your dog or cat on a Capstar treatment program again.

There are some things you need to know about Capstar before purchasing online at the heavily discounted prices that Healthy Pets provide. Even though this drug is suitable for pregnant dogs and cats, it cannot be used for puppies and kittens under the age of four weeks. As there are no side effects to be aware of with this drug, you shouldn't be alarmed if your pet starts to scratch or look irritated. Because the fleas that were already on your dog or cat will begin to die just half an hour after the treatment begins, they may itch for a while until all of the eggs are gone.
