Question from
Nicole Oliver Lewis
How often do you give your dog the Programs Plus - just once a month? Please advise.
Our Vet Says:
Program
plus is a monthly treatment, it is not necessary to administer earlier than 4
weeks. If you have a very heavy infestation of fleas you can administer Capstar.
Here is some more information about Capstar:

is indicated for the treatment of fleas on dogs and cats.
Dosage
and administration
Capstar
tablets are administered orally at a minimum recommended dose of 1mg/2.2lbs

small portion of food and given immediately. Administer on any day when fleas
are seen on the animal. No more than one treatment should be
given per day.
Contra-indications
None.
Special
precautions for use
Do
not use on animals less than 4 weeks old or weighing less than 2.2lbs

information

on fleas may be seen as soon as 15 minutes after administration. Between 95% and
100% efficacy is observed within the first 6 hours and 100% efficacy is reached
within 24 hours.

control immature stages of the flea life cycle in the environment is
recommended.
