I think they have slightly different purposes - Pearl has different brands at different times of year depending on the local parasite variety and population  ;). Your Vet should be able to advise which the best one is for now  :D

I chose Advantage for Smudge when Frontline stopped working, I now use it for Minstrel with success (as in not seeing any wee beasties)

I get mine from vetuk as opposed to the vets as they are cheaper and sometimes have special offers on.

When you say frontline stopped working for you, did smudge actually have fleas when on frontline?

Yep, It was ordinary Frontline spot on - not the combi one.
