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 KittensOne dose size for all cats and kittens 8 weeks of age and older and 1.8 pounds or greater. Great for multi-cat families. |

How to Apply Cheristin Flea Treatment
Elanco US Inc
Looking for specific info?
Product 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. Stock up and save on future orders of Cheristin topical flea prevention with a subscription, and gain peace of mind that you'll always be prepared for your cat's next dose.

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.
