Even shampoos labeled as “all-natural” often contain oils that can be toxic or harmful to cats and the traditional flea shampoos contain pyrethrins which can be extremely dangerous. While you may be thinking that this isn’t a flea shampoo, the truth is that shampoos designed to kill fleas can be very dangerous to cats. Also, while highly effective at killing adult fleas, CAPSTAR does not kill eggs or provide prophylactic protection against re-infestation, so you may need multiple treatments in order to disrupt the flea life cycle and fully protect your cat.Īctive Ingredient(s): Nitenpyram | Doses: 6 and 12 tablet packages | Size: More than 2 pounds, and over 4 weeks old Of course, it's not always easy giving a cat a pill, which is one disadvantage CAPSTAR has against topical treatments. Side effects are rare, but you should monitor your cat for 24 hours after dosing, watching out for symptoms like hyperactivity, panting, lethargy, itching, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, salivation, seizures, and pupil dilation. The active ingredient in CAPSTAR-nitenpyram-has been extensively studied and found to be both safe and effective (in most cases, even more effective than CAPSTAR's 90 percent claim). Instead, CAPSTAR will work for any cat or kitten more than two pounds and over four weeks old. In addition to its fast-acting effectiveness, one of the big advantages to CAPSTAR Fast-Acting Oral Fela Treatment for Cats is that its dosing doesn't change depending on your cat's size, as is the case with a lot of topical treatments. Potential side effects include hyperactivity, lethargy, itching, diarrhea, and moreĭoesn't act as a prophylactic, so additional treatments may be necessaryĬAPSTAR tablets start killing fleas in 30 minutes and achieve greater than 90 percent effectiveness within six hours.
It is available in three different sizes, with different dosages depending upon your cat's weight.Īctive Ingredient(s): Selamectin, sarolaner | Doses: 3 and 6 dose packages | Size: 2.8-5.5 pound cats (Gold) 5.6-11 pound cats (Orange) 11.1-22 pound cats (Green)

Revolution Plus should not be used in cats with nuerologic disorders.Ī prescription is needed to purchase Revolution Plus. When combined, the two antiparasitics are fast-acting, killing fleas within six hours and offering robust protection after 24. Revolution Plus uses two active ingredients- selamectin and sarolaner-both of which are safe for use in cats, and have minimal side effects. You also need to let the product dry before petting your cat in that area but aside from those quick, monthly application rules, you shouldn’t have to worry about fleas the rest of the time. As with any spot-on or topical flea treatment, sometimes hair loss is noted in the area that the product is applied and some cats don’t like the feeling of the alcohol on their skin. Revolution Plus has a small amount of alcohol-based liquid which is administered monthly on the back of your cat’s neck. It even kills or protects against ticks, targeting the three most common species, making it a useful tool in your arsenal during tick season. With not only safe and effective flea killing power, Revolution plus also kills or prevents heartworms, roundworms, hookworms, and ear mites.
