CAPACTION (nitenpyram) Oral Flea Treatment for Dogs, Fast Acting Tablets Start Killing in 30 Minutes, Small Dog Flea Treatment 2-25 lbs, 6 Doses

Ordered for my little dog as he was getting fleas so bad, they seemed to work okay, but not killing all of the fleas.. also didn't like that they had to be given almost every 24 hrs.. seems not healthy for my dog. Won't order again.

I have two small house dogs, both around 12 lbs, and this is the only thing that gets rid of fleas. For others out there who think this is a bit expensive, as I do, here's my solution to that. I buy the large dog package. I take each pill and cut it into 4 pieces, first in half, then each half in half. I give a quarter to each dog every 36 hours. From my experience, I can go a bit longer than 24 hours with it, but not a full 48. The fleas will be back. So 8pm on Tuesday, then 8 am on Thursday. I hope that helps people on here. Fleas are something I absolutely can't stand, and this does the trick. The package lasts me around 15 days. I didn't figure it out exactly, but more that 12 days by giving it every 36 hours. Oh, and on a side note, I cut each pill into 6 pieces for cats. 6 cats a day or 3 every 15ish days, you get the idea. This is more expensive than the liquid on the neck, but those just do not work for me.*One thing to add*if you wait longer than 36 hours to give the pill, I've noticed that for the first half hour or so, the fleas seem to go crazy and bite the dogs more. That means it working. There are people on here that say it doesn't work, but this has been the only thing I can think of that they are misinterpreting. It will work. Then just stay on top of it, and you won't have the episodes of crazy itching.

I don’t understand some of these negative reviews complaining about it only lasts 24 hours. When we had a “bad” flea infestation, the only other way I can kill 100% of the fleas on my pit bull at once is to give her a shampoo bath. Well she hates a bath. I can give her a pill inside a slice of cheese and in 30 minutes the fleas start dropping dead. The first time I tried this product I found 30 dead fleas on her blanket in the morning. Product says it is from 25 pounds to 125 pounds. As my pitbull is only 50 pounds I cut the pills in half so I actually have 12 doses. I vacuum the pet area every day and by giving her a half a pill every day she has no fleas on her. I vacuum every day in case there was a stray flea or flea eggs that haven’t hatched yet I have tried the liquid stuff that is supposed to last for 30 days and she was still loaded with fleas so the liquid stuff you put on their neck didn’t work for me. This product has kept her flea free. It’s easy to get dogs to swallow this pill, the cat version does work on cats. If you can get them to swallow it, but it’s like an act of Congress to get some of my cats to swallow the pill. White bread and tuna juice worked for some of my cats, but the dogs were so easy putting the pill in American cheese.

Works pretty well

Doesn't work well

A Fast-Acting Lifesaver for Immediate Flea Relief! I highly recommend PetArmor CAPACTION (nitenpyram) Oral Flea Treatment for Dogs, Dogs Over 25 lbs (6 Doses). This product is a fantastic solution for dealing with sudden, heavy flea infestations. Speed and Effectiveness (5/5 Stars) The "Fast-Acting" claim is absolutely true. Within 30 to 45 minutes of giving my dog the tablet, the fleas started dropping off him like rain. It’s quite satisfying to see them die that quickly! The immediate relief this product provides is unmatched. It effectively kills the adult fleas currently on your dog, offering instant comfort. Ease of Use (5/5 Stars) The tablets are small and easy to administer. My dog, who is usually picky, took the pill wrapped in a piece of cheese without any issue. Having six doses is very convenient, as it allows you to treat subsequent flare-ups or use it for multiple pets (if they meet the weight requirement). Important Note (What it does NOT do) It is crucial to understand that CAPACTION is an "instant kill" product. It only kills the adult fleas that are on your dog at the time of treatment. It does not have any residual effect. This means it won't prevent new fleas from jumping onto your dog from the environment (carpet, bedding, yard). For long-term protection, you must pair this with a monthly preventative treatment (like a collar, topical spot-on, or another oral medication). Final Verdict This is a must-have for any dog owner who needs quick, immediate relief from a flea emergency. It's a powerful tool to break the life cycle of fleas fast. Just remember to follow up with a long-term preventative. Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars for its purpose (immediate knockdown).
