My cat started foaming at the mouth, others have died – stop stocking the poisonous ExcelPet Fleaban Spray

The issue

Just seconds after I used ExcelPet on my cat, he started foaming at the mouth. It’s been a terrifying 30 hours watching my cat suffer.

It’s shocking – this product contains “pyrethroids”, which my vet says is actually poisonous for cats. But ExcelPet Fleaban Insecticidal Spray is sold at Coles without any warning at all.

I searched online after it happened and felt sick at what I read. After being treated with this product, hundreds of cats have started frothing at the mouth, convulsing, not being able to move, refusing food and water - and some are even dying.

I bought this product at my local Coles - I trusted Coles and assumed products stocked there would be safe. They need to stop stocking this poison before more loved pets suffer!

Coles: recall all ExcelPet Fleaban Insecticidal Spray from your shops now!
