Yes, but you need to follow up with a longer acting flea control product as well. I like Advantage, it’s effective, safe and you can buy it at PetCo. Fleas are difficult to get every one and using another product with the cap star will take care of any you may have missed. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for your dogs.

Tobby would do best with a product like Comfortis, Simparica or Bravecto. These products last 1-3 months depending on which one you pick. These oral flea products last longer than Capstar. Capstar only last 1-2 days. You will need a consistent product for 6 months before the fleas will be gone. Hope this helps!

Capstar is an excellent choice for getting rid of fleas quickly - it's very effective at killing any fleas that may currently be on the dog, but only lasts for 24 hours. This is why it's recommended to start another, longer-lasting flea medication at the same time, or else the fleas will just come right back. The most effective options for flea control currently available are K9 Advantix, Nexgard, or Bravecto - I would recommend getting one of these from your vet if possible, to start within 24 hours of giving the Capstar.

You can use Capstar to kill any adult fleas on her. Since she was recently washed though, you will need to wait 2-3 days before applying a topical preventative. The oils in her skin need to build up to effectively spread the topical flea preventative. Capstar can be given daily if you are seeing adult fleas. In the meantime, wash all bedding and vacuum everywhere. Empty the canister or toss the vacuum bag away outdoors immediately afterwards. You can use an area treatment in the house, such as Knockout ES (by Virbac), to prevent reinfestation. Use a monthly preventative for at least 3 consecutive months, but preferably year round.

Yes you can give Lucy Capstar! Keep in mind that fleas live in the environment, not on the animal, so you need to disinfect that as well. Wash her bedding in hot soapy water, and vacuum the furniture and carpet surfaces. You can use a spray to kill fleas in the house, such as Indorex, or a flea bomb would work well to kill the fleas in the home. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
