Our verdict

Worms and fleas are separate battles, and here is one weapon for each. Frontline's Wormer is £5.59 for two meat-flavoured tablets that tackle roundworms and tapeworms, dosed every three months, so the pack covers half a year and rates 4.5 on 14,882 reviews. Advantage Spot On is £17.94 for four flea pipettes for larger cats and rabbits over 4kg, killing fleas within 24 hours, and it nudges ahead at 4.6 on 17,587 reviews. They are not interchangeable, since worms and fleas need different treatments. A tidy routine uses both, so buy whichever is next due on your pet's calendar.
