Bob Martin Flea Products Reviews

My cat started scratching around the neck late at night, so i immedietly rushed to the supermarket to get some flea treatment. I purchased Bob Martins "on the spot" treatment for cats and small dogs. I applied the treatment, and decided to have a brouse on the internet. i came across all of the comments on this site and started to panic. ...  Read the complete review

Garbage! My cat was left frothing at the mouth and twitching after using Bob Martin Silent Flea Spray, and loads of other pet owners have reported the same thing. My cat was lucky, some cats have died from it. Oh, and the cat is still hopping with fleas. Avoid Bob Martin products like the plague.

recently bought the bob martin home flogger plus, not a happy customer, its expensive and useless!!!! i bought two and a week later i am still finding fleas i will never buy this brand name product again and will also tell my animal loving family and friends to avoid it, i was a first time user of bob martin and it will be my last time. I only ...  Read the complete review

Have used a smiliar product; Bob Martin Silent Cat Flea Spray and within 5 mins our cat was profusely frothing at the mouth. DO NOT USE!!!!! have reported to trading standards.

i usually use frontline but because it can only be used from the age of 12weeks in this instance i did not and i totally regret it. it says on the packaging that it can be used from 2weeks of age,so when my chihuahua puppies started to scratch i thought it would be safe as they are 4 weeks old.i used it on both pups and mother.i kept mum out ...  Read the complete review

I ADVICE DEEPLY THAT THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE BANNED. It contains Organophosphates which were used by the Nazis with was of course damaging to humans so you can just imagine the effects it causes to animals. Bob martin spot on flea repellant caused the death of my 14 month old cat. This product does not kill fleas it kills the innocent lives of cats and dogs and it should be banned, the manufacturers of this product should be brought to justice, animals have rights just as humans do! 'Flea Bomb' more like 'Cat/Dog bomb' and don't we all know that bombs kill. I have a good mind to sue!!! Too many animals have died from this product and this needs to stop!

Bob Martin spot on flea control should be BANNED and Bob Martins should be taken to court for the suffering they are causing animals. I used this product on my 2 cats at the same time of the day, early afternoon, by late evening one cat was foaming at the mouth and my other cats eyes were sore and swollen. I washed the product off them both after reading the reviews on the websites saying that similar had happened to their pets. I emailed bob martins a few weeks ago and today the email has been returned as an invalid email address. Oh yes they know their product is poison but seem intent on doing nothing about it. I had to take one of my cats to the vet for treatment, eye drops and anti inflammatory injections after this treatment. DISGRACEFUL!

Dangerous Product : Used Bob Martin Spot On on Friday a.m. 5th July 09 on my 10 year old Beagle (normally use Frontline) by Saturday a.m. she was itching and scratching so I bathed her in mild shampoo to remove as much residue as I could. By 10.00 pm on Saturday night (06/06/09) she was desperately poorly. Itching like crazy, panting, wheezing, ...  Read the complete review

I put a Bob Martin flea collar on my elderly but very fit dog last year as we had an infestation of fleas. The next morning she seemed a little tired and struggled to get into the car, by lunchtime she was lying stretched out and couldn't get up. I removed the collar immediately and washed her neck area but sadly her back legs just kept giving ...  Read the complete review

my kitten is dead this stuff is poison!

It doesnt deserve a 1 rating this should not be avaliable in supermarkets
It should be banned altogether

Seems that this is a common story!
Applied the all over 'silent' spray to both my 2 year old cats and one started frothing at the mouth. A hefty emergency vet bill later and we have two washed, grumpy, but most importantly alive cats.
Going to be a long night keeping an eye on them.
I'd stay clear from Bob Martin products if I were you. It's not worth the stress or cost in the long run - Just pay a little extra for a vet approved product!

PLEASE do not use this crap. It contains organophospates, which should never be used on animals. It also kills them. Please read this before using it: http://www.moggies.co.uk/articles/bob_martin.html I'm a student VN and have heard many horror stories from vets and VNs alike about these products. They also don't work. You ...  Read the complete review

hi there all pet owners! my cat's a 7 year old, strong male norwiegen forsest cat who's been at the vets on a drip since 0600 but is still on the brink of death. He started violently fitting 18 hours ago at 3.30am, frothing & bleeding from the mouth. He hasn't stopped fitting all day. This is after we applied this Bob Martin (evil poison) ...  Read the complete review

I bought a triple pack of Bob Martin 'Spot on' from my local supermarket as it was on special offer recently, however my Lhasa apso/cross has done nothing but itch, scratch & bite herself since I put it on her a fortnight ago. I have bathed her several times , but it has made no difference & her skin feels & looks hot & angry. My otherwise happy little dog is looking very sorry for herself & is now driving the whole family aswell as herself mad with the scratching. She definetly hasn't got any fleas as she is allergic to them so I have to be very vigilant. She is due to be bathed & groomed later this week at her usual groomer's where I will ask for advise, but if anyone can recommend anything else in the meantime I would be grateful.

DO NOT USE BOB MARTINS GENERAL FLEA SPRAY. Within hours of using on our 18 month old healthy cat Bluebelle, she was foaming at the mouth, shaking and fitting. We managed to get her to the vets very quickly where she was put on a drip and constantly monitored. She was given drugs to relax her and fortunately left the vets alive. Some four days later she is still far from her normal self, very tired and generally distressed. The vet told us this was certainly not an isolated case. We have reported this company to trading standards. The product should be withdrawn from sale by Bob Martin.

Trading standards T.0845 404 0506 PLEASE CALL THEM TO REPORT THIS COMPANY IF YOU HAVE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCES WITH THIS PRODUCT.

My kittens have recently suffered a cruel death because of bob martin. I have contacted TRADING STANDARDS. I have been advised they will start an enquirey but need more complaints to make the enquirey go quicker. PLEASE. PLEASE make your voice count & try and get justice for these poor animals. Call 0845 404 0506 and make your complaint. Dont let Bob Martin get away with this. Thank You

i have used the spot on stuff quite a lot on 4 dogs works well clearly says poisonous to cats on it!

Last year I bought Bob Martin Flea Spray to de-flea my indoor cats. I followed the directions on the bottle down to a T, and within 2 minutes one of them was twitching and frothing at the mouth. Under instruction from the vet we tried to wash it off with the shower, not easy on a semi-convulsing cat. Seconds later she was running blindly into the ...  Read the complete review

I used Bob martin Flea collars on my two cats Kasbha & Khan for 9 years but they had a very bad infestation last June and developed hair loss around the necks/collars. I took to vets and was told to immediately remove collars. Both had to be treated not only for fleas but for hair loss and neck sores. Now both have permanent hair loss, it will not grow back, only grey hairs around edge. Feel very guilty as my pure black boys have bare necks forever. DO NOT USE. Had to give a rating ignore

MULTI PURPOSE FLEA SPRAY. I used this yesterday: the cat is now at the Vets. He is lethargic, dribbling and with a very rapid heart beat. Hopefully this will clear, but I am advised that there might be liver and kidney complications. Do NOT use this product at all. I feel awful that I seem to have, unwittingly, poisoned my pet. This product is completely distrusted by vets and the like, yet it is sold from the supermarket shelf.
I hope the cat suffers no more than he has; I hope you read this and throw away the product; I hope more people get wind of this and the company goes into receivership.
