5.0 out of 5 stars Best Flea Program, December 1, 2010

*Note* You may see this review on more than one size of this product. That is because I used it on a bunch of my pets and they were different weights :)

After experiencing a flea infestation and trying just about every product out there (I did NOT use a flea bomb), this product saved my sanity! Along with it's partner - Capstar - I can say I have no more fear of a flea infestation.

Program is a pill your pet takes once a month for preventative measures. The Capstar is a pill you give your pet at the first sighting of a flea. It says it starts to work within 1/2 hour, mine worked even faster.

I don't know that you can say any more - these products were awesome! I will never use another product as, in my opinion, this one will save you time and money in the long run. Your pet will agree!

As a side note - I overheard my vet telling a client that the flea bombs are worthless and not to use them as they do not actually get into the cracks and crevices where fleas and their eggs hide.

One other note is to remember to wash all your bedding and vacuum everywhere (especially your furniture and under beds and furniture with open bottoms) in your house if you have a flea infestation. Seeing a couple fleas on your animals may or may not warrant that. Also remember to empty your vacuum cleaner right away after vacuuming and dispose of the bag or contents in a bag, seal and put in a garbage can ASAP so the live fleas do not get back out and reinfest your home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best alternative to flea insecticide, February 6, 2010

"Program" by Novartis is very effective in controlling fleas for the long term, but only after they are brought under control in the home and yard and on the pet with some type of insecticide - as Program does not kill adult fleas. I like Program because it is not an insect poison, but rather breaks the life cycle of the flea so that when an adult lays its zillions of eggs, these never mature into adults but die as larva.

They die because the active ingredient in Program does not allow them to form the proper exoskeleton or chitin. In my research of this chemical, it was stated that no known amount of it ingested by a human would hurt a human. That was good enough for me. I would rather not have my dogs full of insecticide all the time, like with a product like FrontLine, if possible. Also, since we live near a river, Frontline seemed to get washed off all the time, reducing its effectiveness so that I could not control fleas. Then I found out about Program and all is well for several years now with three big dogs on 1 1/2 fenced acres.

If you have ticks, however, as we do, you may want to supplement Program with a standard flea collar.

The service from the seller was great, and this product has never failed me with my two large-breed dogs who otherwise are nice bait for fleas and ticks. They live indoors with me, and make summers and dry seasons here in the South so much more enjoyable. Easy once-a-month treatment, and unlike topical treatments, you can bathe them/let them swim/get wet without worrying about the treatment's effectiveness.
