I was looking for a generic-brand alternative of Nitenpyram tablets to save some money, and have tried a few other generic brands to no avail. My cats are the pickiest, finicky eaters in the world, and always seem to know when I mix a medicine or supplement in their food. The other brands of Nitenpyram I've purchased have gone untouched, and I've tried literally everything I could think of to get them to eat the stuff to no avail. Fortunately, I came across this supplier's Tuna-flavored Nitenpyram tablets and decided to give it a try. And O-M-G, the cats eat it right up!! I couldn't believe it! I mixed the powder from the tablets into a tuna gravy (from their favorite brand of wet cat food, they love their gravy) to keep the flavor consistent, and that seemed to do the trick.
I'm also happy to see how well this stuff works. Since giving them their first monthly dose of Lufenuron, and then these Nitenpyram tablets about 1x week, the flea problem in my house seems to have gone away completely (and it's only been 3 weeks). I am thrilled to have found an effective, affordable, and low toxicity solution that my cats will happily eat.
Backstory: Since the cats were such picky eaters, I had resorted to using bayer advantage drops on the kitties and food-grade diatomaceous earth in the house and yard as my method of flea control, and it wasn't working very well. The bayer drops were creating bald spots on my cats' fur, and were only effective for about 1 week (instead of 1 month as claimed on the box). I've tried all kinds of flea sprays, powders, and shampoos around the house with limited success, and decided that I didn't want to use a yard spray containing Permethrin, which ruled out nearly every effective flea yard spray on the market (since it's incredibly toxic to kitties, I didn't want to risk leaving even the smallest residue in the yard, as I have lots of neighborhood kitties that like to visit and eat the grass). The diatomaceous earth (D.E.) was the safest solution in that regard, and it definitely worked better than any flea spray or powder I've tried, but it was annoying to have to reapply the D.E. to the yard often (we get big rainstorms almost everyday in the summer) and (visually) to have white powder all over our carpets inside the house. I've been battling these fleas for about 3 months, and estimate spending well over $250 on various "solutions", and easily 100 hours researching and shopping around for a workable solution. The capstar and program pill/tablets seemed to be the best solution overall, but I was reluctant to shell out another $100 on a medication that my cats may-or-may-not eat. That's why I'm so relieved to have found the generic meds here at an affordable price. I hope this seller will continue selling these meds on Amazon!
