The glossy-coat plan
Cheristin 6-Dose + Pet Protect Omega-3 Fish Oil Capsules Bundle
A coat that has spent weeks being scratched at needs more than an absence of fleas — it needs materials. This bundle ships the 6-dose Cheristin box with 60 of Pet Protect's anchovy-oil omega-3 capsules: the treatment that ends the scratching, and the fatty acids that rebuild what it cost.
What this box is actually for
- Season-long flea protectionThe full 6-dose Cheristin box handles the cause while the oil handles the aftermath.
- Snip-tip flexibilityFeed the capsule whole, or snip the tip and drizzle the oil over dinner.
- Molecularly distilledAnchovy-sourced EPA & DHA refined for absorption — not bargain-bin salmon oil.
- More than the coatOmega-3s support skin, joints, heart, kidneys, eyes and immune response.
- Shared across speciesDosed for cats and small dogs, so a mixed household draws from one bottle.

The honest column
Side effects, read before you dose
What owners report most often
The label's most commonly reported reactions are local and cosmetic: hair loss, greasy or clumped fur, or mild redness and itching at the application spot. Less commonly, short-lived inactivity, vomiting or a skipped meal have been reported — typically resolving within a day or two.
The multi-cat grooming rule
Cats groom each other exactly where Cheristin goes. In multi-cat homes, keep housemates from grooming the treated spot until it is fully dry — dose everyone in the same sitting and supervise the first hour, or separate briefly.
When to call the vet
Marked lethargy past 48 hours, repeated vomiting, drooling, tremors, or anything that simply feels wrong for your cat — call your veterinarian, and have the box in hand; the label and lot number answer half their questions. Elanco also prints a product-support line on every carton.
Asked about this box
Before you click through
Longer answers live in the FAQ and the reading corner.
How long until the coat looks different?
Fatty-acid supplements are a weeks-not-days project — most owners report visible gloss and less dander after four to six weeks of daily capsules, roughly one Cheristin dose later.
My cat refuses capsules on principle. Now what?
That's what the snip tip is for: cut, squeeze over food, done. The anchovy oil is its own argument — most cats vote in favor.
Why omega-3 alongside a flea product?
Flea season is hard on skin — bites, scratching, over-grooming. EPA and DHA support a normal inflammatory response, which is exactly the repair budget a post-flea coat spends.
