Dear Kent Residents
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!

If you need advice, contact Citizens Advice on 0808 223 1133.
Please stay alert and share this with friends and family—especially those who might be
more vulnerable to these types of scams.
Please continue to update friends and family. For scam alerts as they are issued
please add us on Instagram or Facebook.
Thank you.
