Not a happy customer – I can't leave rate experience, if I could it would be 0. Would NOT recommend Exelpet flea treatment for cats, I've spent over $150.00 over the last 2 months an still have fleas on my cats. My cats are inside cats only and never go outside. Also have tried to contact the Exelpet company and can't speak to anybody about my this as they put the you… Read more
on hold, then hang up, so tried again and was told to press 0 and they would ring back, I waited 4 hours, rang back again to be informed that their opening hours were from 9am to 4pm. NOT A HAPPY CUSTOMER.
This product should be pulled from the shelves! After using this product our cat lost a lot of her fur. Not a little bit, a lot! I wrote and rang the company, firstly it took them days to reply and when they finally did their response was the hair loss was normal. The amount of fur loss was NOT ‘normal’ and if they showed photos of the amount of fur lost on their product NOBODY WOULD BUY IT! Show details

Awful stuff. Caused bad rash and constant itch – Used as directed. Did not work. Paid $28. Pup scratched and bit until skin was red raw. Can't get a refund at Woolworths. Should be banned. Supposed to work on fleas in 24 hours. No warning of bad reaction, or how to rectify the problem. Show details
Dog trash – Will burn your cat and does not do anything for actually treating fleas. Basically paid $18 for burns and a visit to the vet which cost me $200. MARS PETCARE Australia is the company that makes the product and refuses to compensate for their product / vet bill's and referred me to their legal team. I'm contacting ACCC right now Show details
Dont Use This Product – Used it and next day noticed a bald patch where I had applied treatment on my 15 year old cat. I should have realised something was wrong when she hid in her cubby all afternoon. I am devastated. I have continued to bath her neck to remove this product but the damage has already been done. Exelpet has a lot to answer to...especially now I have come across all of the other bad reports. Show details

Heartbroken – I bought this for the first time my beautiful Ragdoll only had a couple of fleas she has just died in our arms the most horrible death. We are just heartbroken. The product was applied properly to her neck her behaviour changed a few days later, now here we are just over a week later. I also bought some for my Chihuahuas they will be going in the bin.

Absolute rubbish – Brought flea treatment for my cat and 1 week later still has fleas. So I done it again and still no difference. How does this rubbish get onto the market. Total waste of money. Very disappointing Show details
Does not work – Used as per directions on 2 cats. Did not make any difference. 36 hours later and still finding loads of live fleas on both animals. Wish I’d read the reviews before wasting my money. Show details
I have to rate one star as I can't give it 0 – Found more fleas one week after used. I picked 5 fleas from my cat, it was only one we saw before. Feel so stressed, I don't want to close my cat until I bought another brand. And my cat was unhappy for 3 or 4 days, it didn't want to eat. Not recommendation for it at all. Show details
Does not work – $22 I spent on this and all it did was make my cat sick for nearly a week. Fleas are worse than before I used it. Huge mistake that I won't be making again. Show details
Wont ever buy again – Spent over $50 on 4 pipettes of this product to treat 3 cats. Meant to last 30 days and it didnt even last 24 hours.. waste of money. Really annoyed i purchased tnis product. Show details

Do not use on your cat – Dont buy this product, my only experience using it was negative. I applied it as directed and it has made the flea problem worse on my poor cat. It has caused my cat alot of distress as the fleas became more active after treatment. They stayed on my cat but became super active/aggressive. My cat reacted badly, she can't rest at all. She is shaking… Read more
her head constantly and scratching and shaking all over. So distressing as a cat owner as well to see your cat so badly affected. She hid for the first few hours. This product should be discontinued. Wish I read the reviews first. I looked them up straight away as her reaction was immediate. Will stick to vet products in the future. Much kinder and more effective.
Empty container – Packet was empty when I got home. Other two packets contained product. Poor quality control. Sometimes this product removes flea and sometimes it does not. I do not recommend this brand of treatment.Woolworths refused a refund. Show details
What a waste of money.. my shorthair cat is still scratching and the fleas are having a party.. do not use – Still covered with fleasand still scratching and she is very uncomfortable.. will not even come near me and hides away.. no appetite because fleas are having a party..waste of money. Show details
Would give zero stars if I could – Used this product twice on four cats, two with long hair and two short hair cats. Made no difference, fleas are happily thriving! Expensive waste of money & time. Can not recommend. Show details
Nope, nope, nope do not use exelpet products – 2 cats treated on Friday both got sick 1 recovered the other passed away just minutes ago, also had no effect on fleas, never using any exelpet products ever again Show details
Don't use this product – My car started vomiting within minutes of me applying it and didnt stop for 12 hours. She had to go on an iv, she nearly died. Even the vet said do not use this product. Why do they still sell it in Woolworths? Show details

Cat Died – Our 14 year old cat died the morning after being treated the night before. If I had read these reviews there's no way I would have used it. I will never use it on any cat. Show details
Does nothing to eliminate fleas – This product did nothing at all to eliminate or even reduce the number of fleas. It simply did nothing at all and was a total waste of money. Cat never got sick. I would advise people to never buy this product it is a total waste of time and again does absolutely nothing to treat fleas. At all. Show details
Don’t buy!! – Worst stuff on planet earth, Burnt my poor Ginger’s neck, my poor baby, I thought it burnt him straight away when I applied this. - And yes I was correct!! My cat Ginger had the worst diarrhoea ever since last night I applied this, hoping it will pass in the next 24 hours as he eating and drinking normally. My poor baby. I want a refund! This product should be taken off the shelf. Can not believe supermarkets sell this crap. Show details
Useless – Utterly useless. Eggs hatched now worse than before. Wished I saw all reviews first. Family member said it was quite good. She was wrong. Off to the vets for some decent flea treatment. Will not buy again thats for sure Show details
Do not use – My cat fatty has white fur on the back of neck now and looks all burnt the poor bugger is so worn out she sitting There with her tongue out a little and panting we are doing everything possible to keep her calm her heart is racing so warning to everyone do not use this terrible product. Show details
Terrible Product – Used this on my cat and she became very upset. Lost her spark and friendliness. She's sick and still has fleas. Wish I'd checked these reviews before using this product. Never again. Show details
DONT USE THIs PRODUCT!! – I applied the treatment exactly as directed. Our cat ended up with burns and loss of fur within hours. Washed off any product immediately. Have always used Vet treatments but was short of time and noticed cats had fleas so I figured I would just get some Exelpet from the local Woolworths. I agree with other reviews, this product should be… Read more
immediately taken off the market as it seems that it is a common problem. It’s nasty and I feel so bad about using it and causing our fur baby harm. Obviously we will never use this product ever again. Definitely worth sticking to vet products.
Terrible product – I put this on my cat this morning. She immediately started foaming at the mouth. She was extremely unhappy and running around the house shaking her head with foam flinging everywhere. I called Exelpet and they told me to wash it off, waste of money. I’ll stick with Revolution.
