I will NEVER try anything else

After giving my 5 y/o shitzu Program since puppyhood, we got a new pup switched vets and was told that a topical was the way to go. BIG MISTAKE and we have gone back to Program and will never change.

No more fleas

We had such a bad flea problem that when rinsing off the flea shampoo from my dog I thought that she had been covered with ground pepper. Our vet recommended Program and to my surprise it really worked, no fleas for over 10 years. I don't know how well other products work, but with Program I don't need to find out.

My Dogs Program

My two dogs ages, 12 1/2 yrs and 13 yrs. have always taken Program pills from April thru October each year . I have never had one flea on them or in my house. I haved tried Advantage but it was too harsh for their skin and would immediately roll in the grass to get it off (if I could get it on them at all). We live in the Northeast where winters are harsh, therefore not needed because of the extreme cold in the winter months.

Seems to be working great

I recently found out that I can not use topical flea control on my dog because is causes my dog skin problems. This is when I started looking for other alternatives and found this product. My dog liked the taste which is great because he has a knack for finding pills in his food, and I haven't seen a flea on him yet this summer.

Works great!!!!!

After using Promeris Spot On (which my yorkie can't stand) to get rid of the initial infestation, I switched to Program. Works great & there's no chasing him around the room to get the spot on treatment on him. This is definitely a keeper!!!!

Program Flavor Tabs work great!

Last year we got a flea infestation even while using flea treatments for our pets (1 dog, 2 cats). We noticed a problem while the pets had flea collars on. So we switched to a store bought spot treatment. The flea problem just continued to worsen, the treatment seemed to have no effect. We bathed our dog once a week to try to curb the problem and vaccumned every 3 days. But our pets were still miserable and it just seemed to be getting worse. We tried pet sprays that you spray on the pets and all the bedding and rugs, still no help. We bought Advantage from the vet thinking that finally we would get results, but it seemd to be as ineffective as the regular store brand treatments. Finally we tried Program Flavor Tabs along with the Capstar, both by Novartis and we noticed almost immediate improvement. The Capstar kills all the adult fleas on the pet, then the Program takes care of all the imature fleas and eggs. Within days the pets were showing signs of less and less fleas (no more constant scratching and flea biting) and within a month we were back to being flea free. I will not use any other product besides the Program and Capstar (espeicially after trying so many that did nothing!).

Program for dogs

I have been using Program for dogs for years. I have two dogs and have never had a flea problem with them. Even though the product says it controls the population but doesn't kill adult fleas, I have never even seen an adult flea on my dogs. I have never used it in conjunction with anything else and have never had to. I have been using this product for over 15 years now and will continue to do so.

Program is NOT a flea killer-

Program "controls flea populations by preventing the development of flea eggs and does not kill adult fleas " is stated on the product literature; it is used in canjunction with CAPSTAR which is the REAL FLEA KILLER and works within 1/2 hour, and can be given daily if needed. This is a flea control program that really works and there is no need to put harsh liquid poisons on a dogs back to do the job--it's all in tablet form.

I began to use this product many years ago - after my dog had fleas (one and only time). All it took was the thought of my house infested and the two days of cleaning and vacuming. Not to mention the discomfort my dog felt. My vet recommended this brand and it is convient and easy to use.

This webpage was laid out very clearly. It stated what the product was, its' contants, and how it was meant to be used. There was nothing hidden about the product. The webpage was very good and I would buy from this online store if I was to buy flea killers for my dogs. The products they sell seem safe from their lables.

Understanding Flea & Ticks

At PetCareRx, we feel that a well educated customer is a happy customer.

Overview

Fleas and ticks may pose a very real threat to the health and comfort of your pet. In addition to extreme discomfort, fleas and ticks can also cause serious health problems in pets and people. Don't compromise.

Fleas & Ticks

FLEAS
Few creatures can inflict more misery, ounce for ounce, than fleas. These tiny, almost-invisible pests can make life miserable and disrupt your household with a vicious cycle of biting and scratching. Fleas may also cause flea allergy dermatitis in some pets and may be carriers of dangerous diseases.

TICKS
Often too tiny to be seen, ticks attach to pets and feed on blood until they are engorged. They thrive in high humidity and moderate temperatures, but can be found all over the country. Ticks may carry and transmit diseases, including Lyme disease, that can cause serious health problems for pets and people.

Where Fleas Hide

Flea infestation is difficult to control, and fleas generally infest homes with tile, hardwood or other hard surface floorings. It is very difficult to rid fleas from hard surfaces. When fleas invade a surface that is carpeted, they generally linger around pet rugs, carpets, and any dark and dusty areas.

Warning Signs

There are two clear signs of flea infestation. The first one is flea dirt, which are the black spots on your pet or in your pet’s bed. These black spots are dried blood that is excreted by fleas. The second warning sign for fleas is incessant agitation, scratching or biting behavior that you might see in your pet. They might become restless and irritated and will scratch themselves if they are infested with fleas or ticks.

How to Prevent Flea & Ticks

Check your pet’s beds and the areas where they spend most of their time. You should also observe their behavior for any unnecessary scratching or biting. There are various prescription and non-prescription flea and tick medications available in the market that will rid your pet of fleas, ticks and mosquitoes. Please ask your veterinarian for which flea and tick product is appropriate for your pet.

FAQ’s about Program Flea Killer for Dogs

Click on any question to read the answer.

  1. What is the active ingredient?

    The active ingredient in Program is Lufenuron.

  2. What stages of flea development are controlled by program?

    Program tablets have no effect on adult fleas, but control flea populations by breaking the life cycle at the egg stage.

  3. Can I use another flea and tick prevention as the same I am using the Program?

    To speed control, products like Capstar, may be temporarily used with Program, depending on the severity of the infestation.
