Program Flea Medicine
While you may see adult fleas on your pets, there is a much larger flea population of eggs and larvae in your home and yard waiting to emerge. Each female lays up to 2000 eggs in her life-time so the total population can quickly get ‘out of hand’. Dealing only with adult fleas means you always have new fleas emerging ready to bite your pets. Program flea medicine deals with this issue, by instead destroying juvenile fleas before they have time to cause a problem.
These tabletss use an insect development inhibitor which safely stops flea eggs and larvae growing any further. Within a few months the entire juvenile flea population in the area are destroyed as they come into contact with the dog treated with the tablets.
Used every 30 days you will see a rapid decline in the fleas affecting your pets. Program may be used in the warmer months of highest flea activity only. But, as juvenile fleas are able to stay dormant for long periods of time, for best results they should be used year round.
As using Program for dogs does not kill adult fleas you may occasionally see new fleas on your pet. These will have been met away from your home, or brought in by an untreated animal. These new adults will quickly die off, unable to produce viable offspring due to the use of Program Flavor Tabs. Depending on the number of fleas involved and the level of fleas sensitivity of your pet you may wish to use a conventional flea ‘adulticide’ occasionally to eliminate these new parasites. Capstar flea tablets are recommended as they rapidly destroy all adult fleas on your pet, but you could use any other flea treatment product.
This flea treatment is suitable for use on puppies and kittens from four weeks of age. Depending on the size of your pet there are two different doses available for cats and four for dogs. Program flea tablets come in the form of a tasty beef flavoured tablet which should be given alongside a meal for complete absorption.

Using Program Flavor Tabs
Monthly Program Flea Medicine
Program flea tablets should be used once a month, preferably on the same day. Simply place the beef flavored tablet into your pet’s mouth, and once swallowed offer them there usual meal. Alternatively you can hide the flea medicine in a little of their favorite food. Keep a watch over your pet to ensure the entire treatment is swallowed.
To ensure long-term flea control Program flea pills should be used every 30 days and all pets in the home should be treated.
Effective Flea Medicine
Studies show that in homes where pets are treated year round on a monthly basis Program will keep fleas at bay. In a three year study by Novartis, 100% of pet owners who used Program year round on their dogs and cats were completely satisfied with its effective flea control formula.
Safe Flea Program for Dogs and Cats
Program flavor tabs may be given to puppies and kittens from four weeks of age. With over 250 million doses of lufenuron being used worldwide over eight years, and the approval from the FDA, Program flea control has proved safe for both dogs and cats.
Using Program with Flea Treatments
Regular use of Program flea tablets will generally bring the local flea population in under 60 days. However other animals or locations visited may result in new adult fleas being spotted. These will die without being able to reproduce so in small numbers will not be a problem. However if your pet is particularly sensitive to fleas it is a good idea to keep a conventional flea adulticide such as Capstar to hand to destroy these pests.
Program Flavor Tabs may be used safely with any other form of cat or dog flea treatment. For those preferring a liquid treatment, there is also Program Oral Suspension liquid available.
Cat Meds – Flea Control Tablet
For pets with particularly sensitive skins perhaps the easiest method of flea control is by oral tablet. There are two brands currently available. One offers immediate flea relief but is a short-term treatment while the second is a once a month treatment protecting against cat fleas permanently.
Capstar Flea Tablets
Containing the active ingredient Nitenpyram CAPSTAR for Dogs or Cats
The product is effective for 24 hours only. This makes it a great flea treatment to use on an ad-hoc basis, such as prior to taking your cat to a grooming salon or show. It is also a good way of ensuring your cat is flea free and stays that way during a visit to the vet or anywhere there may be more flea infested animals.
The next time you fear a flea attack you just give your cat another tablet as Capstar tablets are safe enough to use every day. If you believe your residence may be home to a more long-term flea population with flea eggs and larvae this product will not tackle those. But as they emerge into adulthood Capstar will kill them.
For any pet suffering from a massive flea problem, often rescue animals from shelters or strays, this is a really effective ‘quick fix’ eliminating all fleas really quickly. It’s quick acting formula means fleas do not get a chance to bite your cat.
Capstar flea tablets will kill 90% of fleas within 6 hours of your cats treatment. This makes Capstar a particularly effective cat flea treatment for pets suffering from secondary flea problems such as anaemia, dermatitis and skin infections. When a pet is overloaded with fleas or in ill health anyway the priority is to kill the flea population quickly so the cat can make a speedy recovery.
This is an extremely safe way of treating for fleas, it can be given to kittens from 4 weeks (weighing 2lb or more). It is also perfectly safe for both pregnant and nursing cats. An awful lot of the new reliable pet meds for fleas such as this one, are not proven safe to use on pregnant or nursing animals so even if you use an alternative treatment normally, Capstar could be the ideal interim method of flea control during this sensitive time.
Program Oral Flea Control
A completely different approach is to stop the development of immature fleas so the adult population dies out with no individuals to take its place. This is how Program Flavor Tabs
Used each month as indicated Program will destroy the flea population in your home. However your cat may still come into contact with adult fleas elsewhere, which this does not destroy.
The makers are happy for you to use a flea adulticide product in conjunction with these flea tablets. So for occasional adult flea infestations use a one-off Capstar or Frontline Spray treatment. This is only likely to be an issue during peak flea season such as summer. Adult fleas tend to die pretty quickly of their own accord but if the adult flea population is at its peak you may well need to help it along.
Again, Program is perfectly safe for kittens from 4 weeks of age which makes it great for breeders as many other cat flea treatments are unsuitable for such young animals.
For cats who really refuse to take their flea medication in tablet form it is possible to use Liquid Program Suspension which uses the same active ingredients and are from the same, trusted manufacturer Novartis. Program Suspension is provided as a pouch of product to be mixed with your cats food.
There is also a 6 Month Injectable administered by vets, which is a good option for particularly fussy felines, or forgetful owners. One injection each six months to alleviate the flea problem in your pet’s life. Combine that with a reminder from your vet when the next treatment is due and you can be as forgetful as you like!
Other Flea Control Methods
If feeding your pet their cats flea medicine does not appeal there are lots more methods to choose from. Check out more options for your cats flea treatment at Online Pet Meds.
Dog Meds – Flea Control Tablets
There are now flea killing pets medicines available which your pet swallows. There are currently two different types of oral flea control tablets for dogs available. The first is a once a month treatment providing a continual flea medicine while the second is a one-off treatment.
Program Oral Flea Control
Program Flavor Tabs
Using Program Oral Flea control means any juvenile fleas are unable to develop into fertile biting adult fleas. As the product is based on an inhibitor of insect development it has no affect on mammals so is completely safe to use on your pets. Program does not kill adult fleas, but once in the bloodstream it is absorbed by any biting female flea. Then, when she lays eggs the lufenuron stops the eggs hatching and they soon die. In this way the tablets control the breeding cycle of the flea population. So, while not eliminating all fleas immediately, over the long term it is a very successful flea treatment.
These flea control tablets can also be used in conjunction with another adult flea killing product such as Frontline Spray. But for pets who rarely pick up new adult fleas the product is capable of giving thorough flea control alone.
Once used for a few months Program provides an efficient flea medicine used by many happy dog owners.
Capstar Flea Tablets
CAPSTAR for Dogs or Cats
Many dog owners will use Capstar flea control tablets occasionally prior to taking their pet somewhere likely to be flea ridden. So giving a tablet prior to visiting the dog park, grooming parlour or kennels will stop your dog bringing fleas home. These tablets, given to your dog orally kill all adult fleas that come into contact with your pet for 24 hours.
For multi-pet households Capstar is invaluable as it is one of very few pet medications suitable to use interchangeably on dogs and on cats. So you can keep one product to hand and quickly eradicate any new fleas brought home by one of your pets.
If you suspect a longer term flea problem in your house you will need to use another method of destroying flea eggs and larvae initially. But many pet owners happily use Capstar more regularly at first to destroy all those new adult fleas as they emerge. The tablets can safely be given every 24 hours if new adult fleas appear. Over the long term the flea population in your home and garden should be reduced as it reaches adulthood making Capstar an effective long-term flea medicine for many pet owners.
