CapShield Maxx Flavored Tabs for Large Dogs 91-132 lbs

Flea season in the South starts early and hangs on. CapShield Maxx gives you a scored tablet you can dose by weight instead of guessing with yard sprays and powders. The beef-flavor tablet is easy to get down, and the score line makes it break cleanly so the dose matches the animal in front of you.

Two active ingredients do the work. Each tablet carries 56 mg of nitenpyram and 530.5 mg of lufenuron. Lufenuron is an insect growth regulator that stays in the bloodstream about 30 days, so a new flea that bites after that first day takes its blood meal but won't fully reproduce. Yard sprays fade in the sun. This keeps working from inside the animal.

Highlights

• Scored beef-flavor tablet
• Nitenpyram and lufenuron in one tablet
• Lufenuron stays in the bloodstream about 30 days
• Color-coded tablets for multi-pet homes
• Keeps working after yard sprays fade in the sun
• Dose by weight for precise, economical use

Why a tablet beats yard sprays for pets

Yard sprays cover the places you can reach, and sun and rain wear them down. A tablet works from the inside, so the flea control travels with your pet to the porch, the truck and the dog run. Fleas also spend most of their life away from the animal, so the yard still needs attention. The pet just stops being the easy meal.

A tablet suits a household that is tired of chasing fleas one animal at a time. Each pet gets a dose set by its weight, and color-coded tablets make it clear which tablet belongs to which pet. It's a practical pick for any family with more than one animal, and for anyone whose flea trouble started with a single scratching dog and spread from there.

How to use it

Read the directions before you dose, and match the tablet to your pet's weight.

1. Weigh your pet, or estimate its weight carefully, and find the tablet color for its weight band.
2. Give one tablet as directed, and never double up on a dose.
3. Write the date of each dose on the calendar so the whole household can see when the last tablet went in.
4. The score line is there for precise dosing, so break the tablet on the line only when the directions call for a split.

Treat the yard and the bedding alongside the pet. Vacuum carpets and wash bedding in hot water, because flea eggs and larvae live off the animal.

Good to know

• Dosing more than one pet? Match each tablet's color to its weight band so nobody gets the wrong dose.
• Keep the tablets sealed until dosing time so they stay fresh.
• An oral IGR keeps working after yard sprays have faded in the sun, so it pairs well with a yard treatment for a full-season plan.
• Keep a tablet or two on hand so a flea outbreak doesn't get a head start.

Get a few on the shelf before the next warm spell brings the fleas back.
