Bob Martin Flea Products Reviews

Do not use Bob Martin Spot On. My beautiful fit & healthy 18 month old cat Pixie died in spite of the best efforts of my vet. She suffered severe epileptic fits . Family & veterinary staff ( who had witnessed the same circumstances at their practice only the week before )are left devastated . That such a lethal product is sold without any control whatsoever is unbelievable. I appeal to Bob Martin & retailers to withdraw the product before any further tragedies occur .

PLEASE DO NOT USE. We used the multipurpose spray for home and pets clearly stating that it is safe for use on cats ...RUBBSH our Cat has been in the vets for 2 days, fitting, drooling, twitching tempertaure. Please do not take the risk the product contains PYRETHRINS WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS/FATAL TO CATS. Our loving playful cat is suffering ...  Read the complete review

I tried Bob Martin silent flea spray on my 6 month old kitten-what a mistake! I followed the instructions carefully -the kitten was not happy but seemed ok.|However several hours later I was woken by a pitiful noise.My kitten was frothing and foaming at the mouth and gasping for air.I snatched him up(not easy as I am disabled) and put him straight ...  Read the complete review

I have foolishly bought 4 Bob Matin Products. Slient Spray (Does not work), Household Spay (rubbish), Spot on (made the cat fit) and the Flea Collar (cat can take it off at will and doesn't work). All these products are poor and are not effective. I bought mine from Tesco's and feel angry that a large company like that would stock such ...  Read the complete review

Spot on Flea Control for dogs KILLS CATS AND OTHER ANIMALS when it comes into contact with them and BOB MARTIN KNOW THIS. Veterinary surgeons have requested this product to be sold through Veterinary cliics only to avoid consumer misunderstanding. My cats suffered but survived (£450.00 vet bill) but one in two DIE HORRIFIC ...  Read the complete review

Our vet recommended buying a puppy/dog flea treatment since our cat was so large (big tom) and riddled with the ever prevelant flea problem. As advised we purchased a puppy/dog treatment and chose 'Bob Martin' since it was the only available treatment on offer. Appling one dose to the rear of his head, he soon demonstrated the tell tale symptoms ...  Read the complete review

I used a Bob Martin flea drop purchased from the supermarket on my cat Cleo a week ago, and she has been flicking her ears ever since. Also she has misjudged a couple of jumps, which has never happened before. She is an otherwise healthy 16 year old cat. I will not use this treatment on her again, and will instead use the drops the vet sells. This ...  Read the complete review

Bob Martins Spot On I have found it very interesting (and distressing) to read these reviews about Bob Martins Spot on. My very healthy, 8 year old cat, Shadow, died a very horrific death yesterday, within hours of applying this treatment. We had used this treatment before on him, so had no reason to expect any adverse ...  Read the complete review

We used this on out 18 month old cat Millie. After a few hours she was salivating and slobbering uncontrollably. We put this down to her having maybe tried to clean some of the product of her and got some in her mouth. The packaging says this will happen if they taste any due to its "bitter taste". After another hour or two out cat could ...  Read the complete review

Bob Martin "Silent flea spray" is far from silent. I have three cats and after spraying each one they each in turn became extremely agitated ,scratching and biting my arm in an effort to escape. When they were 'done' and I let them go they bolted so fast they nearly snapped off the catflap in their haste to escape the hissing bottle of ...  Read the complete review

This is quite distressing writing this review but if it helps to save another cat or dogs life, then it will be more than worth it. Last Thursday I treated the elder of our three cats Thomiss with Bob Martin Spot On for cats as she was scratching alot around her neck. I treated her in early evening. At about 10pm that evening I noticed she ...  Read the complete review

Poor little Milliepuss.... she's behaving rather strangely and I don't understand why? She's behaving very agitated and restless and her fur is twitching. Arrrrrggghhhhhh - little black monsters crawling around all over her fur - she's infected with fleas!!! What do I do? At 11.30pm I ...  Read the complete review

I have used a variety of flea products on my cats in recent years,one of my favourites being the program drops. However one of my cats unfortunately has developed a bad skin reaction to sprays and drops, nessitating a change of treatment for fleas. She is, unluckily for her prey the most awesome mouser, therefore needing regular de-fleaing! Bob ...  Read the complete review

I confess I bought the on the spot treatments by Bob Martin to help my cat. Little did I know they'd send him spiralling into very ill health. Previously I had used Frontline, but as my local vet is quite far I toddled into my local pet shop and bought their on the spot product instead thinking foolishly 'Ahhh I have saved money and bought ...  Read the complete review

For years we used Bob Martin flea control products - flea collars for both cats plus household flea spray, as it was the only one in our supermarket. We found that the collars were less effective in the summer (when fleas are more of a problem) and didn't last for the full 4 months indicated. Plus we had to spray the house regularly and even ...  Read the complete review
