I have done a lot of research into Capstar as I was thinking about using this as a only flea prevention in my shop. I don't like the dip fumes, and flea shampoo works well but with capstar the fleas can stay off for 24 hours giving customers the chance to treat their house too. Anyway there has been no known incidence of any animal having a reaction to Capstar anywhere. There have been plenty of animals react to dips or shampoo, so that's another good point in the favor of Capstar. Where I live the pill is only 2 or 3 dollars at the vet, you can give your kitty the pill when you take her to the groomer, and even if there is a flea exposure the flea will die. Oh, also it is highly unlikely that you first started noticing fleas on a white cat that you brush daily, one or 2 months after a grooming. You would have noticed them within days. Groomers do tend to catch the blame a lot for pretty much everything, that is a big downside to grooming.
