PETARMOR CAPACTION Fast-Acting Oral Flea Treatment for Cats 2-25 lbs, 6 Count, 11.4 mg

I use this for our outdoor cats that are considered feral. They had that sudden itch and appeared uncomfortable by the itching that was taking place. We treat our yard for ticks and fleas with organic products, but knowing the cats roam to other yards we also wanted to protect our yard including our dogs. So we use this product by crushing the pill up into powder form. Mixed into soft food and feeding each cat separately ensuring each cat received their dose. We noticed within the hour they were no longer itching or biting at their skin. We do follow up every 30 days as the direction indicate, they begin to scratch again about thst time. We believe it works and for the cost we will keep using this product.

Okay, let me start by saying this has worked perfectly for my 3 kitties. It does exactly what it's supposed to do, at a better price than the name brand version. I read the reviews on this and the brand name version, specifically the low rated reviews to get a better idea of what could go wrong. The 2 most common things I saw were reviewers not understanding the medication's purpose and reactions to the medication itself. Thankfully there are no medication reactions to report here, and I had a much better idea of what this medication was designed to actually do. Now, please understand something: CapAction is not a flea preventative medication. This product kills the fleas on your cat for about 24 hours. It does not kill the eggs, only the live fleas. Many of the lower rated reviews come from folks not understanding this product's proper usage (they were expecting it to be a flea preventative). Like any medication, I'm sure the effectiveness wears off closer to the end of the dose. I've had the best results when I use this CapAction combined with a topical flea preventative medication. CapAction kills the currently active fleas, then the topical medication takes care of others as they appear. These are small tablets, so they're pretty easy to administer. 2 of my 3 are an breeze to give them to, and my 3rd still isn't overly difficult. They always get treats after any kind of medicine or similar activity, so that helps somewhat. I do notice a little more activity from all 3 in terms of scratching shortly after administering CapAction. This generally starts about 20-30 minutes after giving the medicine and lasts 4-6 hours before tapering off. This is to be expected because the live fleas on your pet are not happy and they become more active. While this is a great medication for what it's designed for, I will also add that this should only be one step in overall flea control. There are many, many helpful guides out there, so I won't tell you what's readily available for other steps to take. Overall, this CapAction gets a 5 star review from me!
