Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How soon after giving CapShield Maxx will I see dead fleas on my dog?

Ans: Nitenpyram begins killing adult fleas within 30 minutes of administration, with maximum effectiveness achieved within 4 hours. You may notice increased scratching initially as dying fleas become hyperactive before death, which is completely normal.

Q2: Can CapShield Maxx be given alongside monthly heartworm preventatives?

Ans: Yes, CapShield Maxx can be safely administered with heartworm preventatives, vaccines, antibiotics, and other flea products. Always inform your veterinarian about all your dog's medications to avoid potential interactions between treatments.

Q3: Why do I still see fleas after giving my dog the tablets?

Ans: CapShield Maxx kills adult fleas but doesn't repel new ones from jumping on your dog. Environmental fleas may appear for several weeks until lufenuron breaks the complete reproduction cycle in your home environment.

Q4: Is it safe to give CapShield Maxx more frequently than once a month?

Ans: Nitenpyram can be given daily if needed for heavy infestations, but lufenuron provides 30-day protection. Consult your veterinarian before increasing dosing frequency, especially for puppies or dogs with existing health conditions.

Q5: What should I do if my dog vomits after taking CapShield Maxx?

Ans: If vomiting occurs within one hour of administration, redose with another tablet. For persistent vomiting or other concerning symptoms lasting more than 24 hours, discontinue use and contact your veterinarian immediately.
