Dog owner in mourning as beloved French bulldog ‘dies after being treated with £2 Wilko flea treatment’
James Whitley is speaking out to spare others the heartache and hopes Reggie’s legacy could be that he could save “another fur baby”
A grieving dog owner claims his beloved French bulldog puppy died after being treated with £2 flea treatment from Wilko.
Devastated James Whitley watched in horror as pooch Reggie began “frothing at the mouth” and “shaking” after the treatment was applied.
He rushed the puppy to a vet who kept Reggie in overnight, but sadly the 19-month-old had to be put to sleep.
