Scam Alert

Published: 07 July 2025

Kent Trading Standards has issued the following warning:

An urgent warning has been issued to pet owners after an owner unknowingly purchased a counterfeit flea treatment online that caused the cat to become seriously ill. This prompted the owner to get the product tested and toxic pesticide traces were found. Read the press release here.

Shopping safely for pet treatments 
✅ Always buy flea treatments from trusted sources
🚨 Be wary of any retailer selling prescription only products without asking for your prescription. This is illegal. 
⚠️ If a deal or offer looks too good to be true, it probably is!
