Available in beef flavored oral tablets for dogs and cats, Program is 100% safe and effective in preventing and controlling flea populations. Program is usable with other flea preventatives. Program does not kill adult fleas. Most customers also purchase Capstar, sold separately, to kill adult fleas for a complete flea management program.

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.
