- Remove one applicator tube from the blister package.
- Hold the applicator tube in an upright position.
- Press cap down until it clicks (indicating that the tube has been punctured). (See Figure 1.) Hold upright and remove cap. Check to be sure there is an opening at the tip of the tube.
- Part the hair on the neck at the base of the head until the skin is visible. Place the tip of the tube directly above the skin and squeeze the tube 2-4 times to expel the contents of the tube directly on the skin. For best results, apply at the base of the head, not between shoulder blades. Avoid getting the product in your pet's eyes or mouth. Treatment at the base of the head will minimize the opportunity for the cat to directly lick the product. Do not allow your cat to ingest this product. (There may be a small residual remaining in the tube after a full dose is expelled).
- Discard the empty applicator tube in the trash.
Do not allow your cat to ingest this product. For cats weighing over 20lbs, using more than 1 single dose is not advised. As with any product, consult your veterinarian before using this product on debilitated, aged, pregnant or nursing animals or animals known to be sensitive to pesticides. Monitor your cat after application. Side effects may include signs of application site reactions such as application site hair loss, hair change (greasy, clumping or matting) or redness, inflammation and itching. Other side effects such as inactivity, vomiting and inappetance have also been reported. If these or any other side effects occur, consult your veterinarian, your cat’s healthcare expert.

Treatment with Cheristin for cats may begin at any time of the year. Consult your veterinarian for the flea regimen most appropriate for your area. Read more about using Cheristin for cats.
Q: Does seeing fleas on my cat mean the flea treatment is not working?
Cheristin for cats kills fleas when used monthly and according to the label directions. Remember that all animals in the household should be treated with an approved flea product to help control the flea population. Because each female flea can lay up to 50 eggs per day there is potential for a large buildup of eggs, larvae and pupae, resulting in a constant supply of new adults emerging in the cat’s environment2. (Learn more about the flea life cycle.)Regardless of the product used to kill fleas, the cat can continue to be exposed to fleas living in the environment. When these fleas jump onto the cat, they will be killed quickly by Cheristin for cats.If you see fleas on your cat within a month after your pet receives flea treatment with Cheristin for cats, it is most likely these are new fleas that have very recently emerged from pupae and jumped onto the cat. These new fleas will be killed quickly before they can produce eggs that contaminate the environment.Consistent monthly application of Cheristin for cats should be maintained to provide continued protection for your cat against these fleas.
Q: How long does Cheristin for cats last?
Cheristin for cats has demonstrated efficacy for at least 30 days.
Q: Is Cheristin for cats available near me?
As with any product registered with EPA, individual states must review and register it. Find out if Cheristin for cats is available in your home state so you can ask your veterinarian for effective, long-lasting, easy-to-use flea protection for your cat.
Q: What potential side effects can be seen with Cheristin for cats use?
The most common side effects are application site reactions such as application site hair loss, hair change (greasy, clumping or matting) or redness, inflammation and itching. If these or any other side effects occur, consult your veterinarian, your cat’s healthcare expert.

I have had flea issues for ten years even with treating the cats, yard, and house and thorough cleanings. I can't get ahead of these pest. I've been using this product since it came to market. It worked great for the first six months now it only last about two weeks. Of the choices available it works the best. My vet said that the fleas have developed an immunity to all of the flea products and to rotate brands every other month. I tried that, a few months ago I bought Advantage and Frontline same thing. I've also tried Diatomacous Earth on the cats and in the yard no difference. Now they have tapeworm again. Now I'm going to try ongaurd which appears to have the same ingredients has Frontline I have had flea issues for ten years even with treating the cats, yard, and house and thorough cleanings.

I only have that many because people like to dump kittens at our near by creek. My suggestion if you don't have birds, fish, etc is to bomb the house twice. Remove the cats turn off the pilot lights (read the label). … more

I have an indoor cat, but I live in FL so fleas are pretty much a year round thing. My cat got fleas pretty badly even I was using Ultra-guard from Hartz. I went to the vet and they gave me this - along with a course of Capstar. All the itching stopped after a couple days, and I can't find anymore fleas on her! Definitely worth it.

I live in Florida and I have an indoor kitty (a super fluffy Persian) and a stinky little dog that goes potty outside. Well, the dog has the unfortunate habit of picking up fleas and bringing them inside with him and sharing them with the kitty! It has been close to impossible to rid either of them of fleas. I have tried the expensive Soresto collar, Advantage, Advantix, and even Hartz to no avail on either of them. I called my vet and she suggested I try Cheristin. After fighting the flea battle for months, my kitty is now flea free, he is no longer itching and scratching and I cannot find one flea on him.

My 5 year old cat has always reacted badly to other topical flea and tick treatments, laying around feeling sick for up to 24 hours. However, this flea-only medicine doesn't bother her like the others, and it is effective against the fleas. Your mileage may vary, but if your cat gets mildly ill from other products, think about trying this.

I have been using this product on all of my cats for 2 months now and it works GREAT!! It lasts all month and I see no itching for the full month. The only thing I don't like is that is leaves a light powder on their fur and it feels weird. But they don't seem to mind at all. I have used Advantage II and it leaves a very strong sent, this doesn't have any sent at all, which they and we love. Definitely will continue purchasing this flea treatment. A little pricy, but worth it!!

I've treated my cats with Cheristin for several years and find it not only kills the fleas in 24 hours or less but continues to work with the larvae and eggs when they hatch. I was happy to find Cheristin at Chewy.com at a lower price than I've found anywhere else. I buy all my cat food and treats from Chewy. They are a wonderful caring company. I've recommended them to many people.

My cat had a terrible skin condition caused by fleas. It was recommended to me to try this flea medicine. I have tried several brands. This medicine is wonderful. I have seen no fleas at all and she cleared up within three weeks. We are so happy. Definitely going to be getting this from now on.

I have used every flea control product except the collars. I've used all of the ones my Vet recommends. A friend recently told me to try Cheristin and I did. Within hours my cats were scratching less and by the end of day 2, I was no longer seeing fleas on them. This will now be my product of choice. It works beautifully.

Our vet said the brand of flea meds we have been using were becoming ineffective so I searched for our next brand. Cheristin was reasonably priced so I thought I’d give it a whirl. I used It on two of our cats and they actually seemed more comfortable than our others last month. One of them had been getting raw skin from her barbering due to fleas and she’s all better already. I’ll be using it on all starting next month. I’m very pleased with it so far.

This seems to be controlling the fleas well. I think the fleas had grown resistant to the other popular topical I was using. My cats seem much more comfortable and it took effect quickly.
