Will Capstar remove all fleas from puppies and mom in a day?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

If I clean puppies and mom and give them all a capstar and remove them from the contaminated environment, will that get rid of ALL fleas on them within a day?

Yes, but you need to follow up with a longer acting flea control product as well. I like Advantage, it’s effective, safe and you can buy it at PetCo. Fleas are difficult to get every one and using another product with the cap star will take care of any you may have missed.
