Zap! (nitenpyram)
Zap! is an oral capsule for dogs, puppies, cats and kittens 4 weeks of age and older and 2 pounds of body weight or greater.
Active Ingredients
Zap! capsules contain 11.4 or 57.0 mg of nitenpyram, which belongs to the chemical class of neonicotinoids. Nitenpyram kills adult fleas.
Directions
A single dose of Zap! should kill the adult fleas on your pet. If your pet gets re-infested with fleas, you can safely give another dose as often as once per day. To give Zap! capsules, place the pill directly in your pet’s mouth or open and mix with food. If you are not sure that your pet swallowed the pill, it is safe to give a second pill. Treat all infested pets in the household. Fleas can reproduce on untreated pets and allow infestations to persist.
Other Information
Zap! begins working within 15-30 minutes. In studies, nitenpyram achieved greater than 90% effectiveness against adult fleas on dogs within 4 hours and cats within 6 hours. Zap! is safe for pregnant or nursing dogs and cats.
When using this product, you may notice that your dog or cat will start scratching itself as fleas begin to die. The scratching behavior is temporary and is a reaction to the fleas, not the drug. In very rare cases in cats, this may present as transient signs of hyperactivity, panting, vocalization and excessive grooming.
Zap! kills adult fleas that cause flea allergy dermatitis (FAD). Also, fleas transmit other parasites, including tapeworms. The control of flea infestations is important to your pet’s health and also reduces the problems associated with these parasites.
Zap! may be used together with other products, including heartworm preventives, corticosteroids, antibiotics, vaccines, de-worming medications, shampoos and other flea products.
Zap! does not affect fleas in the pet’s environment. You may need to treat more than one time because immature fleas in and around the home will continue to develop into adults that can reinfest your pet.
In addition to killing adult fleas with Zap!, you can treat your pet with an insect development inhibitor like lufenuron to prevent and control flea populations.

Flea pills
Can't live without these for the summer! My dog and my cats take them so all of us can live flea free. I've tried so many things and summers were still miserable for all of us! I mix the cat pulls in soft food for the cats and my dog takes a pill in her food. So easy and I feel these are safer than liquid or anything else.

ZAP Fleas Without Fear
We are an independent cat rescue and we rely on ZAP to control fleas. The majority of the cats cannot tolerate topical flea treatments. Any product that warns humans to wash immediately if you get it on your skin...but it's okay for your cat....avoid them. We have had no negative reactions or side effects from ZAP, which we administer on an as needed basis. We are repeat customers and highly recommend this product and this business.

Customer service, product quality
We've been customers for several years. It is important that our in/out-door (barn) cats do not bring fleas into the house. The pills accomplish this! Our last order was lost in the mail but Jennifer maintained quick and frequent correspondence to make sure our fur babies got their pills as soon as possible. Thank you. Jennifer!
