 Great product for long-term flea control! Sep 14, 2009
By The woolgatherer
I'm now a convert to Program and the overall approach of growth-regulation (as opposed to insecticide) meds when it comes to controlling fleas on our dogs and cats over the long haul. No matter how effective an insecticide product may be, unless it can do something to keep those thousands of flea larvae and pupae from growing into nasty egg-producing adult fleas, the flea population is always going to find a way to survive. By the way, of course you've got to treat the house with a growth regulator, too, but that's not hard to do, and it's a lot safer than bombing with an insecticide. We had a vicious infestation problem this past summer that a combination of Program, Capstar and Martin's I.G. Regulator solved.

Program is a MIRACLE! Jul 15, 2009
By J. Higginson
"QuiltMama"
The dog we have now is a flea magnet! I had never experienced fleas with our previous pets. It all came to a head when I was sitting at my sewing machine one day and felt little bites on my ankles...I looked down and was horrified to see fleas on me. They had infested our home! I became a woman on a mission, I tried every single topical flea treatment on the market and I began vacuuming everything like a maniac. The vets all swore to me that their topical products worked, and one vet even accused me of being a poor housekeeper since the fleas were now in our carpets and furniture. I was mortified! Somehow during the process I had heard of two oral flea med's, Program and Capstar. Since I'd tried everything else without success I was determined to get my hands on these two items but it wasn't easy because most stores and even veterinarians do not carry either one. I finaly found a farm & feed store who carried it (you can order it online but at the time I was desperate and needed them NOW). Program and Capstar work wonderfully by themselves, but for your animal's sake you really should use them together. Capstar kills ALL the fleas within 24 hours...Program stays in your pet's blood stream for one month and renders the fleas sterile so that they give birth to dead eggs. So even if your pet gets fleas again within that month they cannot reproduce, and the flea eggs that fall off the animal onto your carpets and furniture will not hatch. They are each expensive, but well worth the price considering how great they work. I highly recommend each product!

Best product I have found for long term flea control with 3 large dogs ! May 18, 2009
By Fisher man
Three large dogs makes flea control a challenge in our sandy/grassy yard. First you have to eradicate the fleas in the environment using lawn insecticide and get them off the dogs with flea shampoo or Capstar. Then the PROGRAM keeps any larva fleas from developing into adults and pretty soon any remaining fleas on the ground just sort of fade away. And, as long as you do not have other animals/pets bringing fleas into the yard, you have a good control solution. We let the dogs into the house occasionally and NO Fleas after 12 months now of using PROGRAM. Also, an important point to me is that PROGRAM is very benign, in that it contains no insecticides. The literature says that there is no known overdose of PROGRAM that would harm a human or a dog. However, PROGRAM does not protect against ticks, so the dogs also wear a flea collar.

 Not what I'd hoped for Jun 27, 2010
By Connie Bliss-Cochran
I have heard great reviews about this over the past few years, so thought I'd try it. My vet said it was no good, but I thought aww, since he doesn't sell it. It's not as pricey as other flea products so thought I'd give it a try, since the part of the country I live in seems to be a flea resort.LOL
I did try it and it seemed to work as a fertility drug with fleas.LOL
The package did say you had to use Capstar or another flea killer with it in order to get it under control, which I did, but it certainly didn't do any good, and I went back to my old product that does work, although more expensive.
To me, if you have to use Capstar and 1/2 dozen other products to get Program to work, it's not worth it, and certainly isn't going to save you any money, that's for sure.

CHEAP ALTERNATIVE TO COMFORTIS Aug 16, 2009
By J. Daniel
This is a great alternative to expensive flea protection for dogs. Half price of frontline or advantage and not messy, plus dogs love the taste of these pills unlike the huge COMFORTIS pills. Only one thing, Program does not cover or kill ticks....
If ticks are not a major concern, then definitely go with PROGRAM. The vets are just making so much money off products they sell, it's highway robbery..
They want to sell you the most expensive product they carry, so automatically will recommend (Whatever that may be at the time).
