Well, while we can’t keep our 1 and half year old cat inside at this stage, 100% of the time, we had to let him have outside time. Of course, when he came into the house, we saw fleas, or if we combed him outside. It was scary to see so many and with our other cat, he didn’t have that issue and with having cats throughout my life, I guessed that some cats are more likeable to fleas, like some people are more liked by mosquitoes.What was great, with Capstar, was in giving our cat a tablet daily, was that soon, the fleas were gone. It took our cat about two weeks, with daily use.The proof was combing and/or brushing our cat. We could see that the fur didn’t have fleas or the excrement. We also didn’t see the fleas on the bed, carpet, furniture, etc.While it’s a little concerning to give him a tablet lie this, for me, it’s easier than topical. Naturally, I was worried about giving him this tablet daily, since I wasn’t sure how he would react. Initially, he did have a stomach reaction, and started eating grass or tall weeds, right after taking it, though after about a week, he was ok. These days, after longer use, does not have that issue.I do a small modification, though, to give it to him.I don’t put it as a tablet in his throat. I just ‘grind the tablet’ so it’s a powder, then mix it with his favorite liquid cat treat. It mixes with it well. The only time he wouldn’t eat it was when it wasn’t mixed well.(To explain on topicals, while our cat is extremely fastidious, he is constantly getting into shrubs, etc., so a topical isn’t ideal for him. Kudos to those where that works!So…Capstar pills are easy to deal with. They are fairly thin and small, maybe like the size if a thick shirt button.Each pill is individual in a foil, easy to tear off.To grind it to powder, you can use a can or something like it, to get the powder effect. It takes just a little bit of hitting it in the indiviualpill package, in the foil, then open the pill pocket by popping it and put it in the cat dish. It may be in one spot, so mixing it helps.This worked and is wonderful as we love having our cat inside when he needs to be, and allowing him outside, as he has to have his time being in the sun and visiting other outside cats.It also helps, so you aren’t worried about fleas being everywhere in the house. For improvements to the manufacturer, make the product 7 tabs instead of 6, please, and for the larger quantities.Also, find ways to give deals in some way. I know you have a captive audience, though sending some deal is important and appropriate, please.I would say that this, overall, has been helpful for having a cat who seems to be a flea attractor when he is outside and he needs to have his cat roaming, so this is a worthy product to try. His appetite is still great and no side effects after the initial week approx.

Works great, but only works for one day. Great for infestation, if you can treat the source of the problem.

Definitely did not kill many fleas as compared to what my cat had gotten but it IS the go to flea preventitive now as the other competeing brands especially the neck applications did NOTHING.For this you will see fleas start to jump off less than an hour after your cat swallow it. Make sure that she is in a spot that you don’t mind finding a bunch of fleas like on an old towel or something. 4/5 will get again. Also VERY expensive.

For a couple years we struggled with fleas on our cat and in our home. I gave Advantage and Frontline so many chances, cleaned, bathed the cat, used house sprays, and even tried a flea collar that burned our cat's neck. I didn't think these chewable pills would work since the fleas were all over the house and they don't claim to be preventative. Within one week of using Capstar the fleas were gone. It has now been several months and I haven't seen a single flea. Somehow Capstar works and wiped out all the fleas with less than 1 box. Now I have no problem spending the money to keep these on hand. We just give her a pill in wet food if I see her itching and it never becomes a problem.

I would highly recommend this oral treatment for anyone battling fleas. It's super effective and starts killing fleas in just 30 minutes. No more waiting around for days to see results. This one does the job quickly and efficiently.
