Does seeing fleas on my cat mean that Cheristin isn't working?

Not at all. Cheristin kills adult fleas in 30 minutes after contact. If you see fleas on your cat, they are most likely new adult fleas that will die very quickly.

If there are any fleas in your cat's environment, it can take weeks or even months for flea larvae to emerge and grow into adults. Cheristin kills adult fleas before they can lay eggs, breaking the flea lifecycle.

What type of parasites does Cheristin kill?

Cheristin kills fleas. Its active ingredient, spinetoram, kills fleas in just 30 minutes and remains effective for up to 6 weeks to keep your cat protected from fleas, although monthly application is recommended.

Do I need a prescription for Cheristin?

No. Cheristin is available online and at retail outlets without a prescription.

One Size Fits All Cats and Kittens

One dose size for all cats and kittens 8 weeks of age and older and 1.8 pounds or greater.

Great for multi-cat families.

Faulty Caps
3 Stars
Faulty Caps
I love this flea medication, it’s the only one that works for my indoor cat. I don’t need to use it often so I like to purchase single doses about every 3 months. The past 4-5 doses I got have had faulty caps, the cap is supposed to twist off but when you twist it, it breaks inner seal but cap doesn’t come off so all the liquid fills up inside the cap that is still attached… I was able to pry one off but then all the liquid went all over my hand and wasn’t usable. Amazon had replaced them and refunded when I gave up a few months ago… I figured if I waited a few months after informing Amazon customer service about the issue and asking them to let the seller know that the problem would be solved but 3 months later and still same issue. I don’t know what to do… if the seller contacts me and addresses the cap issue I will update my review.
