I used ZoGuard for cats on my kitten just over one week ago and it’s not working at all. I also use vets best waterless flea and tick bath. Is it safe to use Cheristin now or do I have to wait one month?

I am sorry to hear about Mittens! It should be fine to use the Cheristin as the Zogaurd is a different type of medication so they should not interfere. I would also recommend treatment of your home if you are having issues with fleas coming back. This may involve enlisting the help of a professional or treating yourself with Knockout spray or fogger after vacuuming all floors and furniture well (even wood floors) and throwing out the bag, and washing all bedding thoroughly.
