One of the best things about Capstar flea treatments are that they allow your dog to get relief quickly, typically within six to eight hours. Since this flea treatment is a pill form you are going to want to consult your dog's veterinarian before you start the treatment. You can purchase this product without any prescription but if your dog is on a special diet or on any other medications there could be a reaction so you will want to make sure that it is safe.
You might realize that it is going to be hard to get your dog to eat the Capstar pills as dogs do not like eating things that they have not had before. There are many different things that you can try in order to help persuade your pet to be able to take the medication. One of the easiest things and the first that you should try is hiding the pill in their food bowl.
This might work for getting your dog to take their Capstar as a lot of dogs do not look at what they are eating as they eat from their bowls. You will need to check the bowl when your dog is done eating to make sure that the pill is not there. If the pill still remains then you are going to need to try something else like putting the pill into a treat that you are feeding to the dog.
If this is not working for you then you might find that you can just wrap the Capstar pill in a piece of meat. Now if you still find that your dog spits out the pill you will want to use a special pill dispenser or your hand to place it in the back of their mouth on the tongue. Then you must hold their mouth shut while the pill is being eaten.
Keep in mind that the last way should be a last result because you might end up getting bit while trying to feed your dog their Capstar. You have to make sure that the capsule gets swallowed and is not stuck somewhere in the dog's mouth in order to make sure that it is going to work. You will notice that your dog is happy and flea free in no time.
