Once-Monthly Oral Flea Control Tablets for Cats

Product Description

CapShield Maxx Flavored Tablets for Cats offer a convenient, once-monthly oral flea control solution for cats and kittens weighing 7 to 15 pounds. Combining Nitenpyram — which begins killing adult fleas within 30 minutes — and Lufenuron, an Insect Growth Regulator that stays in the bloodstream for up to 30 days, these tuna-flavored chewable tablets deliver fast relief and lasting prevention, breaking the full flea life cycle with a single monthly dose for cats 4 weeks and older.

Benefits

• Fast-Acting Relief: Nitenpyram starts killing adult fleas within 30 minutes of administration, providing rapid flea knockdown.
• Lifecycle Disruption: After the first day, any new flea that bites the cat will be unable to fully reproduce, ending the flea life cycle.
• Long-Lasting IGR Protection: Lufenuron is a growth inhibitor (IGR) that stays in the bloodstream for approximately 30 days after each dose.
• Easy Administration: Tuna-flavored tablets can be given as a treat or crushed and spread over food for fuss-free dosing.
• Color-Coded Convenience: Color-coded tablets eliminate confusion when dosing multiple pets in the same household.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How quickly does this flea treatment start working after administration?

Ans: Nitenpyram, one of the two active ingredients, begins killing adult fleas within 30 minutes of oral administration. Lufenuron then provides ongoing protection by remaining in the bloodstream for approximately 30 days, preventing new fleas from reproducing.

Q2: How often should these flea tablets be given to cats?

Ans: One tablet should be administered orally once per month. For best results, give with a meal or crush and mix into food. Consistent monthly dosing ensures continuous IGR protection and prevents the flea life cycle from resuming.

Q3: What is Lufenuron, and how does it protect against fleas long-term?

Ans: Lufenuron is an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) that circulates in the bloodstream for about 30 days. Any new fleas that bite a treated cat will be unable to fully reproduce, effectively stopping the flea life cycle and preventing ongoing reinfestation.

Q4: Are these tablets suitable for kittens?

Ans: Yes, these tablets are suitable for cats and kittens at least 4 weeks old and weighing at least 7 pounds. Always consult your veterinarian before beginning any flea treatment regimen for young kittens.

Q5: What should be done if my cat weighs more than 15 lbs?

Ans: For cats weighing more than 15 lbs, use the appropriate combination of tablets to achieve the correct dose based on the cat's weight. Consult your veterinarian to ensure accurate dosing for your individual cat.

Q6: Can these tablets be used alongside other flea treatments or medications?

Ans: Do not use alongside other flea treatments without veterinary advice. Always inform your veterinarian about any current medications to avoid potential interactions and ensure the safest, most effective flea management approach for your cat.

Q7: Can the cat formula be used on dogs?

Ans: No. This product is formulated exclusively for cats. Dog and cat formulas contain different ingredient concentrations and are not interchangeable. Always use the species-specific product to ensure safe and effective flea control.

Q8: What are the possible side effects of this flea tablet in cats?

Ans: Some cats may experience temporary hyperactivity, panting, mild vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy after dosing. These effects are typically mild and short-lived. If side effects persist or worsen, discontinue use and contact your veterinarian immediately.

Q9: How long does one bottle last?

Ans: Each bottle contains 6 tuna-flavored tablets, providing a six-month supply for one cat when administered as directed once monthly. Ensure the product is selected for the correct weight range of 7 to 15 pounds for accurate dosing.

Q10: Why might new fleas still appear on a cat after treatment?

Ans: Nitenpyram kills adult fleas present at the time of dosing but has no residual effect after 24 hours. Environmental fleas may still jump onto your cat; however, after feeding, those fleas cannot reproduce due to Lufenuron's ongoing IGR activity in the bloodstream.
