Cheristin Flea Treatment & Prevention for Cats Over, 3ct

I live in Houston, TX where the fleas are bad. We had a raccoon infestation -- raccoons in the attic -- so the fleas would not go away, even with prescription flea prevention. So we handled the raccoon problem, and I tried this instead, and I am amazed. It WORKS! The kitties are now flea-free, and I think it lasts even longer than a month (but not quite two months), so maybe 6 weeks or so? I am absolutely a customer for life. My kitties are indoor except they can go on my balcony, so they do get outside a bit where fleas can get to them. But no worries any more, this stuff works. The only thing I don't like is that there is a lot of liquid in the vial that you use, which does get all over there fur near the application site -- but that goes away after a day or so. So happy I tried this.

Finally... My cats are finally flea free. No more scratching. No more scabs. No more screaming at me. The cap was confusing, and I ruined one before realizing the cap doesn't actually come off, but it works. I'm so glad. Just turn it and squeeze. It's really simple. It does leave a large amount of residue, but it works.

This was recommended by our veterinarian who sees cats only. We have 2 cats that are indoor cats but the weather here in Florida has been horrible heat litte rain. We must have brought them in. Anyway this stuff works great and it didn’t seem to bother them at all. Free from eggs, larvae and fleas within less than a week.!

My apartment building has been infested with fleas since January. I have tried everything to manage the problem: natural pet-safe sprays, diatomaceous earth, flea traps, daily vacuuming, etc. I've seriously spent hundreds of dollars on trying to get rid of fleas that other tenants brought in to the building, and it's been a nightmare. However, I have used Cheristin on my cat with no ill effects on her (the medicine does have a smell like freshly turned soil, which is weird but not the end of the world), and I have been spraying the apartment with a mixture of IGR and bifenthrin about once a week. The flea problem still isn't fully resolved, as I don't think the other tenants in the building have been treating their apartment, so I still get itchy from time to time. My cat also seems to scratch herself more often in the few days before she's due for another application of Cheristin-- this is the only reason I'm not giving the product a full five stars. But the problem is nowhere near as bad as it used to be. I never even see the fleas anymore, and I used to be able to see them hopping off of the carpet when shining a flashlight on them. If you're struggling with fleas, my advice is to not waste time and money with the all-natural solutions because they aren't going to work. You need to spray poison, and you need to treat your cat with medication. Both the environment and the pet need to be treated; this is a frustrating cycle that never seems to end. Cheristin is what has gotten the problem under control for me. I suspect I won't be fully flea-free until I move out of this janky apartment, but at least we aren't being eaten alive anymore. Also, my cat is fairly petite at nine pounds. This has been safe for her and she doesn't even seem to notice the medicine on her head. I appreciate this medicine's efficacy at reducing her itchiness and general suffering. One more detail: she got tapeworms from the fleas when I was first dealing with the problem. I took her to the vet, who said she might need to come in for more than one tapeworm treatment if she caught them from the fleas again. While I do think there's still a flea or two hopping around, she has not had tapeworms since the first visit to the vet back in February. I attribute this success to Cheristin! It seems to be killing the fleas before she can get around to accidentally ingesting them. Good luck with your flea woes.

I found this Jr cat and she just had a lot of fleas. So I put this on her and her fleas are gone. I took her to the clinic and she got spayed and her vaccine update. I then microchipped her and she makes a very good pet. Would recommend to kill fleas fast.

A stray cat that came up to the house was full of fleas, scabs and sores from bites and scratching. While she was eating some food, I quickly applied the dose (super easy and fast to apply). Next day when she returned for food, she allowed me to use a flea comb on her and not one flea was found. She is now healed and her coat looks great. She is now fed, fixed and a lovely cat! I highly recommend it.

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.

Only worked for one of my cats. The other cat it only lasted like 2 weeks and she’s got fleas again. It did work right away after application though.
