Dual-Action Monthly Oral Flea Control for Dogs Product Description CapShield Maxx Flea Protection Flavored Tablets offer a convenient, once-monthly oral solution for flea control in dogs.

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 the monthly flea tablet be given to dogs? Ans: One tablet should be administered orally once per month, always with food for optimal absorption. Select the correct dosage tablet based on your dog's body weight using the color-coded variant system provided on the packaging. Q3: What is Lufenuron, and how does it protect against fleas? Ans: Lufenuron is an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) that circulates in the bloodstream for about 30 days. Any new fleas that bite a treated dog will be unable to fully reproduce, effectively stopping the flea life cycle and preventing reinfestation. Q4: Can these tablets be given to puppies? Ans: Yes, they are suitable for puppies and dogs at least 8 weeks old and weighing at least 2 pounds. Always select the weight-appropriate variant and consult your veterinarian before beginning any flea treatment for young puppies. Q5: Is it safe to use this product on pregnant or breeding dogs? Ans: The safety of this product for use on breeding animals and pregnant female dogs has not been tested. It is strongly recommended to consult a licensed veterinarian before administering the tablets to pregnant or breeding dogs. Q6: Can the tablets be used alongside other medications or treatments? Ans: Always inform your veterinarian about all current medications your dog is receiving. Consult your vet before combining these tablets with other flea treatments or medications to avoid potential interactions and ensure your dog's safety. Q7: What should be done if a dog vomits shortly after taking the tablet? Ans: If vomiting occurs within one hour of administration, a replacement dose may be given. If vomiting or other concerning symptoms persist for more than 24 hours, discontinue use and contact your veterinarian promptly for further guidance. Q8: Are the dog and cat formulas interchangeable? Ans: No. The dog formula must never be used on cats. Species-specific, weight-appropriate formulations are required, as ingredient concentrations differ significantly between dog and cat formulations. Always use the correct product for each species. Q9: How long does one bottle last? Ans: Each bottle contains 6 beef-flavored tablets, providing a six-month supply for one dog when administered as directed once monthly. Ensure you select the correct weight-band variant for your dog for accurate and effective dosing. Q10: Why might new fleas still appear on a dog after treatment? Ans: Nitenpyram kills fleas present at the time of dosing but has no residual effect after 24 hours. Environmental fleas may still jump onto your dog; however, after feeding, those fleas are unable to reproduce due to Lufenuron's ongoing IGR activity.
