If you run a boarding kennel, or board your dog in a kennel, you might find this announcement of interest:
In an effort to promote its Capstar flea control product to owners and operators of boarding kennels, Novartis Animal Health U.S. has launched, The Biggest Little Thing Contest.
From the contest website:

CAPSTAR, in partnership with Pet Product News International, will publish the top 10 biggest little things boarding facilities around the country do to keep ahead of the competition. If your idea is published, your facility will be featured in Pet Product News International and you will win $200. To become eligible, please fill out the information…”
Deadline for tips is Oct. 31, 2009 and tips should be 50 words or less and can be submitted here.
Capstar is one of the products listed and discussed in Flea Control Secrets. The section on Capstar reveals that studies (on nitnpyram) reported more than 90% effectiveness against adult fleas within four to six hours depending on the species.
