How Do Capstar Flea Tablets Work?

It starts killing fleas within 30 minutes and provides quick relief to your dog from infestations. In studies conducted by the manufacturer, Capstar showed over 90% effectiveness against adult fleas within 4 hours of administration. Additionally, you may give another dose of Capstar to your dog as often as once per day in case of flea re-infestations.
