Description

Cheristin is a topical flea treatment designed specifically for cats and available without a prescription. It provides fast-acting relief from flea infestations, killing fleas in 30 minutes with 98% - 100% of fleas killed in 12 hours and working faster than Frontline Plus and Advantage II.Unlike other flea treatments for cats, Cheristin's low-volume dose is approved to use on kittens and cats over 1.8 lbs. and greater and 8 weeks of age and older, making it a perfect addition to multi-cat households who don't want to worry about keeping track of multiple products by cat size.Cheristin is an easy-to- apply topical flea treatment for cats with a non-greasy, quick-drying formula. It is designed with a rounded tip applicator that delivers a gentle dose. Hold applicator tube in an upright position and open applicator tube by twisting the nozzle tip. Part the hair on your cat's neck at the base of the head until the skin is visible. Place the open tip of the tube directly above their skin and squeeze 2-4 times to expel the contents onto the skin. Discard the empty tube and in 30 minutes, fleas will begin dying.Cheristin is available in single-dose packs or 3 and 6-dose packs.

    • Get something that works! Fleas haven't dealt with this before. Win the war with the pesky fleas!
Size: 3 Pack
This works very well. When I looked into this chemical, I found it originated in Japan. With the amount of flea spray they use around these parts, the fleas don't seem to die. They may even think it is fertilizer! I put this on my cat and he stopped the itching quickly as the fleas died. The different chemical kicked the fleas buttocks. They had no tolerance built up against this treatment. Easy application on back of head with drops. There used to be a sticker to put on calendar as a reminder to reapply. Maybe they still have that nice little feature. I notice there are options for 1,3,6 applications. They might even have a 12 pack. Worth the money from my experience. ... show more

    • Expensive but it kills our resistant fleas
Size: 6 Pack
So fleas are the bane of many pet owners' existence. It's a constant struggle for Texans because we don't even really have a flea season - it's all year long. Still, I managed to stay on top of things until a couple of years ago, when I noticed our topical, once-a-month flea treatments didn't seem to be working as well. Over time, they stopped working altogether. And I tried them all - Advantage, Frontline, Advantage II, Frontline Plus. I began resorting to using Capstar in between monthly treatments just to keep my pets from being eaten up. And of course, I sprayed my yard, washed the pet bedding regularly, vacuumed daily, put diatomaceous earth on my pets, and sprayed the inside of my house. (My six cats are strictly indoor cats but my dogs do go outside to potty.) I finally accepted that our fleas had become resistant to common flea treatments and went in search of other treatments. A friend told me about Cheristin so I bought it and applied it to all of my cats. The box says it's best to apply to the base of the back of the head rather than between the shoulders and cautions not to let cats ingest the product. Holy cow - this stuff works! Within 24 hours, I found dead fleas on my cats when I combed them. Within 3 days, I could not find a single, live flea on any of my cats! Hurray! This is a once a month treatment. This product alone will not eliminate a flea infestation. You will need to use a multipronged approach by washing pet bedding, vacuuming daily, treating carpeting and soft furnishings, etc. You may even need to use flea foggers if you have a bad outbreak in your home but this does a good job of killing any fleas the take up residence on your cat. All topical flea treatments have to potential to cause localized hair loss, and other symptoms that are more serious so I strongly suggest watching your cat carefully when you first apply this, or any other, flea treatment. I was a little anxious but all of my cats were fine afterward and they are flea-free. It's kind of expensive but it works so I have it on Subscribe and Save now. Thank goodness I found something that works again! Update: More than 2 summer months later, my cats are still flea-free with no bad side effects. Not even any localized hair loss, which they often had when I used Frontline. Very pleased. ... show more

    • Actually works! Top tier!
Size: 1 Pack
Love this brand- solid results where others have hit and miss effectiveness Typically prefer Seresto but if u can't afford it rn (like me!) Then this is a solid second choice that give u your money's worth! Don't forget that while u CAN get cat flea and tick for 5.00 from Walmart.... the 5.00 stuff is also well documented to result in a appalling amount of pet deaths. You get what you pay for- and in the middle price point, this is the best offer. Oh yeah! And it causes less irritation around my cat's neck than advantage, advecta and nextsar, which is a nice bonus 🐱 ... show more

    • Works great but unpleasant smell

The media could not be loaded. Great product! Cheristin got rid of the fleas from my two cats! I have tried the other competing name brand companies and none of them seem to get rid of my flea problem. I believe the fleas in my area (I live in California) became resistant to the formulas of the competing companies. Cheristin is very easy to use. All you have to do is twist the cap to open and it’s ready to use. It only needs to be applied once a month and works on both kittens and cats. The only reason I give this product 4 stars is that this product does have a VERY strong and unpleasant smell. It smells moldy and the smell will last for days. The product also leaves a greasy residue that also lingers for a few days. Other than the smell and residue I will say this is a very effective product. ... show more

    • Just as effective as prescription!
Size: 6 Pack
It's hard to get prescription flea treatment for all 6 of my cats and this definitely helped me avoid more money than I needed to spend! I tried Frontline and Advantage, fleas are always immune to it, I got all my cats on Revolution Plus one summer when we had a really bad outbreak and it worked really well but was extremely expensive. After they were clear of fleas I took them off of treatment and they were clear until the following summer we found a few fleas on them (despite being indoor-only, we're in Florida.) We acted quickly, gave them all CapStar and decided to try Cheristin long-term, so far no more fleas and way more affordable! Obviously it doesn't offer full protection from worms or ticks but it works just as well for fleas, which is great for indoor-only cats. Advice for application: I found it helps to shave a small portion in the back of each cat's head if they allow it before applying to make sure they get a full dose (especially if long-haired) and give them treats so they stay and let it soak in as much as possible before they try to shake it off. Keep an eye on it, if it starts to drip after a few minutes you can dab off the first layer. If your cat is fiesty, try wrapping them in a blanket while applying, it calms them down a bit. ... show more

    • Worked so fast!
Size: 3 Pack
OMG so happy my Vet recommended Cheristin flea treatment. I couldn't understand why my 2 cats were scratching. I felt their neck, I looked at their neck and there was nothing. Until I took a flea comb and found fleas and flea dirt. I was shocked since its winter time, we shouldn't have fleas. And my cats are strictly indoor cats. Once I applied this to the back of their neck, they had stopped scratching and we found dead fleas on our blanket the next day. This worked so well. We were will do another treatment next month. ... show more

    • More effective than advantage
Size: 3 Pack
Advantage stopped working in my area the fleas are immune to it. However once I started using Cheristin the fleas were gone from my cat. Truly a life savor and I wish I knew about it sooner.
