I have 5 cats and it can be very costly to keep up with the flea treatments from the vets for them so as I went around the supermarket one day I noticed the Bob Martin Flea Collars for cats and thought it might be worth giving them a go (it was winter when fleas are less abundant). I bought 5 of them and when I got home I proceeded to attatch to each of my cats.

I'm so shocked after reading this review so much that I've removed the bob Martin flea collar from my cat no wonder he has sores on his neck now I know why!!!! and I totally agree that all Bob Martin products should be removed from supermarkets and banned from being sold everywhere!
My sincere sympathy goes out to all the owners of pets that have lost their lives due to this flea treatment.

Everyone said that they used it on Cats and Kittens. Cats are allergic to ingredients. And people stupid enough to put over the counter flea products on kittens or puppies under 12 weeks of age are at fault. Puppies and kittens must be wormed and flead by a VET ONLY. Cats should have cat friendly flea products and dogs can have dog friendly. Bit of advice. - do research on ingredients before you apply them to your pet. I sprayed my dogs with the all in one last night. They seem fine but I... (read more)

This has to be, beyond doubt, the worst company I have ever dealt with. After treating my perfectly healthy 1 year old cat with FleaClear Spot On, she was vomiting, lethargic and wouldn’t move. As I was going to work, my friend took her to an emergency vet who was shocked to hear she had been treated with Bob Martin products. She was treated for a number of complaints including severe dehydration and was kept for observation. 5 days of worry later and £320 lighter, I complained to Bob... (read more)

I highly discourage anyone to buy this product. It contains an ingredient called "Pyrethrins" which is toxic, and in some cases, fatal, to cats and other animals. If you'd like more information on this I should refer you to wikipedia's Pyrethrin page, under the sub-heading of Toxiciy. Not only if you for the sake of your pets, but if your household containts children, pregnant or elderly family members I would be very careful when using over-the-counter flea treatments.

Two years ago i discovered that my cat had fleas and i tried this treatment as it is cheaper than frontline (who wouldnt). It did not work as i'd hoped, by killing the fleas, but I realised later that this was because i'd purchased a spot on preventative, not a killer. I have used the preventative drops for the past two years with no problems at all.

I found this review very helpful because...
<br/>I aint the only one who thought Bob Martins animal stuff was bad.
<br/>I wasted a lot of money on the flee treatment and worming tablets and they done nothing.
<br/>Stick to frontline for flees (dont be mistaken by the bob martin version like I did) and go to your local vets for worming tablets as there cheaper there and better.
<br/>Flee treatment at the vets can be expensive and I assure you,frontlines works and is the cheapest option.
<br/>You dont need a expensive 12 month subscription,1 lot of front lines (2 if your dogs are as big as my japanese akitas) and the right 1st set of worming tablets and your all done.
<br/>The frontlines will kill all the flees and your dog is worm free for 6-12 months.Dont get get sucked in to the (you need a 12month subscription,its rubbish).
