CapShield Maxx Monthly Flea Chewable for Cats, 7-15 lb, 6 Count

CapShield Maxx is a once-a-month oral flea supplement for cats and kittens weighing 7 to 15 lb. Each bottle holds 6 tuna-flavored tablets — one dose a month.

CapShield Maxx pairs two actives in one tuna-flavored tablet. Nitenpyram starts working within about 30 minutes on the adult fleas already on your cat, then clears the bloodstream within 24 hours. Lufenuron is an insect growth regulator that stays in the bloodstream for roughly 30 days — after the first day, any new flea that bites can no longer reproduce. That is what breaks the flea life cycle, rather than only killing the fleas you can see today.

Active ingredients per tablet

• Nitenpyram 11.3 mg
• Lufenuron 204 mg
• 6 tablets per bottle

Benefits

• Fast-acting relief — nitenpyram starts to work within 30 minutes to help control fleas on your cat.
• Breaks the life cycle — after the first day, any new flea that bites your cat will not fully reproduce.
• About 30 days of IGR coverage — lufenuron stays in the bloodstream for roughly 30 days per dose.
• Easy to give — offer the tuna-flavored tablet as a treat, or crush it over food.
• Color-coded tablets — keeps dosing straight in a multi-pet household.

How to use

• Give one tablet orally once a month. Offer it as a treat, or crush and spread it over food — best given with a meal.
• For cats and kittens 4 weeks of age or older, weighing at least 7 lb.
• For cats over 15 lb, ask your veterinarian about the right tablet combination for their weight.
• Give once monthly as needed, or every month for continued prevention.

Why you may still see fleas after dosing: nitenpyram has no residual effect after 24 hours, and most of a flea population lives in the environment as eggs and larvae. New fleas can still jump on from carpet or bedding — but once they feed, lufenuron stops them reproducing. Consistent monthly dosing, plus treating the home if the infestation is established, is what clears it over time.

Cautions

• For use in cats only. Do not give the feline formula to dogs or other animals.
• Not for kittens under 4 weeks of age or under 7 lb.
• Do not combine with other flea treatments without veterinary advice.
• Consult your veterinarian before starting a flea treatment, especially if your cat is on other medications.
• For use in animals only. Store at room temperature in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children and animals.
