Program Tablets are a monthly oral flea preventative for dogs and cats. Program Tablets inhibit/prevent development of flea eggs, but do not kill adult fleas. Program is 100% safe and effective in preventing and controlling flea populations. If you would like your pet to have immediate relief from fleas, consider using Capstar Flea Treatment Tablets (sold separately) along with Program, for a complete flea management program.
For:
Dogs (4 weeks of age an older)
Cats (4 weeks of age and older)
Benefits:
•
Beef flavored tablets
•
Breaks the life cycle of fleas
•
Safe, easy oral solution
How it works:
Program Tablets contain lufenuron. Lufenuron is an insect development inhibitor which breaks the flea life cycle by inhibiting egg development. It was created to be absorbed with your pets metabolism of its meal. Therefore, if you do not give Program to your pet with a full meal, it may not work at its full potential. Lufenuron has no effect on the pre-existing adult fleas in your home and yard, so you may still see these fleas even after treatment with Program begins. This does not mean that Program is not working. Based on clinical studies, you could continue to see these pre-existing fleas during the first 30 to 60 days. It is important to treat all of your pets with Program to effectively kill the flea cycle. Otherwise, fleas will feed on your untreated pets and regain the ability to lay eggs.
Cautions:
Make sure that your pet eats the whole tablet.

Waste of money!
I began this the Progam product on my small dog a week ago and there still has not been one day that I have not had to pick several fleas off of him. If I have to purchase the Capstar product in conjunction with this product for it to work, that just isn't right on many levels. Save your money unless you want to spend a bundle on having to bundle products and that may not work either.

Capstar and Program tablets
Amazing results for both products! I was surprised to find that, after they took effect, Missy's appetite became good again.

Excellent product to control fleas
Started using Program last year as the other products, for the back, caused our dog to have seizures. Dog is flea free and happy (so are we). We have a small beagle and to see him doing so well is great.

Yes, both can be given at the same time. Capstar will start working within 15minutes to kill adult fleas, and Program is given monthly to prevent/inhibit flea eggs.
Yes, these products are used to compliment each other. Capstar will actually kill an infestatio of fleas and can be safely given daily. Program will break the life cycle of flea for one whole month,
I have two dogs that have a bad flea infestation and they both live outside. In the combination of Program and Capstar tablets, would these two be effective enough in getting rid of all the fleas in the backyard?
Yes that would probably help a lot. Also get some 7-Dust and put that down on your lot far away from where your doggies roam. 7-dust works wonders but this is harmful to you and your animals if they get into it. And if you can afford getting them on either Comfortis or Sentinel, I would highly recommend it instead. With your dogs being outside dogs, they are more subject to get fleas, parasites, heartworms.
The combination of these products will keep fleas off your pet. Keep in mind that Program breaks the life cycle of a flea and Capstar will kill just an intitial investation for 24 hours. To fully protect your pet you should treat your yard with Virbac yard spray.
You can, but your cat should automatically take it from you. My cat Angel likes the taste of it. When I have to give her her meds, I ask her if she wants a treat and she comes running. :)
