My family rescued a small frightened kitten that had been abandoned at only 4 weeks old. He's now 4 years old and is once again in a frightened state and fighting for his life. This time it isn't due to abandonment, illness or the usual things which animals would face near death. Instead it is a household name for pet owners in the UK which is silently killing your beloved furry family members. Many of you wouldn't buy a regular flee/tick product for your beloved pet and expect it to severely poison your pet when you're trying to help. But if you buy Bob Martin's "pet care" products you are slowly putting your animal in an early grave. Luckily my cat is still alive at this stage but stumbling, unable to walk and very terrified from hallucinations. This is lucky for him in regards to many of the horror stories which I have seen online of people's pets dying. It isn't just the flea products which people should be worried about. My dog had food that was produced from this company before and it caused him to have a severe reaction. I personally don't see how this product is still legally sold within pet stores across the country and this is why I am starting this petition. I want people's support, pet lovers and other people which have suffered this severe upset by this appalling "pet care" company. My aim is to get enough signatures to slowly go around to all pet stores and prove my support to remove and refuse to sell these products within their stores. I obviously can't do this alone, so please if you've had similar circumstances with this company be in touch as the more information we can get to remove these pet murders from stores the better.

Yesterday I purchased the bob martin 'home flea kill shake on....the only thing that died was my cat. I used the product as recommended on the cats bedding/bed, a while later the cat returned and started to wheeze, before I could do anything the cat was fitting and foaming at the mouth.... He died a horrible painful way in my arms it looked like torture, I rang my vets and was told the product contain PERMETHRIN which is dangerous to cats. It did not state this on the label.

My puppy spent two days fighting for her life on a drip in the vets due to their deworming tablets. Disgraceful products and company... Get them banned!!

Please don't buy this for your dog. I gave this bone to Murphy in Friday and he ate the middle section and left the knots. Within 10 mins of eating it he had life threatening abdominal distension. His tummy went three times the normal size. He required veterinary attention and X-rays. He vomited 16 times. The abdominal distension caused his bowel to stop working so only way was up. He has been vomiting faeces. Tesco have been made aware of this and have a health alert to stop selling it so it can be tested. But still selling on website. Please be aware. He is still sick but getting better. Things could have been very different.
