Capstar Flea Treatment: Fast-Acting Relief for Dogs & Cats in Canada
Capstar Flea Treatment: The Fastest Flea Relief for Dogs & Cats in Canada
Dealing with a sudden flea infestation? Capstar is the fastest-acting oral flea treatment available in Canada. It starts killing adult fleas within 30 minutes and achieves maximum effectiveness in just 4-6 hours.
β‘ What Makes Capstar Different?
Unlike topical flea treatments that can take 12-24 hours to work, Capstar delivers results in just 30 minutes. This makes it perfect for:
- β Emergency flea infestations - When you need immediate relief
- β Before grooming or boarding - Ensure your pet is flea-free
- β Newly adopted pets - Treat fleas before bringing them home
- β Peak flea season - Supplement your monthly preventative
- β Multi-pet households - Treat all pets quickly and safely
πΎ How Capstar Works
Capstar contains nitenpyram, a fast-acting insecticide that targets the flea's nervous system. Here's the timeline:
- 0-30 minutes: Capstar is absorbed into your pet's bloodstream
- 30 minutes: Adult fleas start dying
- 4-6 hours: Maximum flea-killing effect achieved
- 24 hours: Protection lasts for a full day
You may notice your pet scratching more initially - this is normal as dying fleas become more active before they die.
