Feeding guide

Dosage for each animal species, type and duration of use:

Method of administration:
Tablets to be administered with or without food.

Dosage:
The minimum effect dose is 1mg/kg bodyweight with the following recommendations:
If a flea infestation is detected, dogs with a body weight between 11.1kg and 57kg should be given 1 tablet of CAPSTAR 57 mg. Dogs with a body weight over 57kg should receive 2 tablets. The frequency of treatment depends on the degree of infestation. In severe flea infestations, it may be necessary to treat the animals every day or every other day until the flea infestation is under control. Treatment can be resumed if fleas reappear. No more than one treatment per day should be given.

Instructions for correct administration:
To improve palatability, the tablets can be added to a small amount of food.
