PetArmor & PetArmor Plus Class Action Lawsuit
By Sarah Pierce
Pet owners have filed yet another class action lawsuit against another manufacturer of popular over-the-counter flea and tick products, claiming their pets died after using the products.Parent companies FidoPharm and Velcera have been hit with a class action lawsuit claiming their PetArmor and PetArmor Plus “spot-on” flea and tick products are unsafe. They join a growing list of companies being sued for not properly labeling their “spot-on” flea and tick products as being potentially dangerous to pets, including the makers of “Frontline,” “K9 Advantix,” “Advantage,” Hartz “Ultraguard” and Sergeant’s line of flea and tick products. [See “Flea & Tick Products False Advertising Class Action Lawsuit.”]
“Spot-on” flea and tick products are neurotoxin pesticides placed directly on the skin of millions of household dogs and cats across the U.S. These products generally do not say in their advertising, marketing or EPA-mandated labeling that they can cause death or other serious side-effects, including paralysis, seizures and skin lesions. As a result, most consumers are unaware that they are putting their pets at risk when applying these products.
The EPA has received over 75,000 complaints since 2008 regarding “spot-on” flea and tick products, but nothing has been done yet to force these companies to correct their advertising and labeling and to alert pet owners about the possible dangerous side-effects. As a result, pet owners are increasingly turning to legal means to rectify the situation by filing “spot-on” flea and tick product class action lawsuits.
The PetArmor and PetArmor Plus class action lawsuit is brought on behalf of all purchasers of PetArmor and PetArmor Plus products for dogs and cats between September 15, 2005 and the present who incurred economic damages as a result of not using the remaining unsafe product they purchased.
The PetArmor class action lawsuit is accusing Fidopharm, Velcera and Wal-Mart, where the products are sold, of breach of express warranty, breach of implied warranty of merchantability, unjust enrichment, and violation of the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, the Arkansas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, and Common Law Fraud.
The PetArmor Flea & Tick Product Class Action Lawsuit is styled Frost, et al. v. FidoPharm, Inc.; Velcera, Inc.; and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Case No. 11-cv-06976, U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey.

Our akita,Barclay was given pet armor fipronil on Sunday noon,she stopped eating Sunday evening, Monday morning, she was unstable ,vomiting, unsure of everything, my wife hurriedly took to our vet,3 miles away, she was dead before they got her inside.
I’m pissed,
My cat almost died from Pet Armour. I used topical on his back shoulders and 15 minutes later my cat was lethargic. Drooling w tongue hanging out, he was like this all day and finally came out of it in the evening, this was several years ago, when I used to Twitter in fact I put his video on their Twitter account so they could see what they did. he passed in 2020 at 2 years of age,he never was the same after, he developed severe bowel issues, he had to take kitty laxatives just to pass rock hard stools. It was awful seeing such a lovely cat be put through this.
Hi I bought a collar for my dog from PetArmor and my puppy got intoxicated. And had to go true a procedure to get well, I was wondering if I had a chance to sued for my expenses.
I used Petarmor plus on my dog. 48 hours later, he is still miserable. I’ve treated my house, bedding, carpets, etc. Peterborough plus does NOT work.
Oops. Petarmor plus
My bullmastiff died ten days after applying pet armor to her. Costs me over 15000 in vet bills to try and save her. Perfectly healthy 3 year old dog. She died 8/17/23. If I could put them out of business I would.
I Gave my dog lucky petarmor 7 way wormer. And she started having seizures. She’s a big girl it’s the medium and large dogs 25.1 to 200ibs. She’s a good 70 ibs.
