hi! Welcome to Issue 17 of My Pet Magazine. This edition is full of great products, information and a bit of fun to help you and your pet get the most enjoyment out of life. Summer in Australia is typically hot and humid which can bring with it some concerns for our pet's health. On Page 11 we discuss a bacteria that thrives in this weather causing Rain Scald in horses. Page 17 also lists some important Summer Safety tips to ensure that your pet is kept happy and healthy throughout the hot months. Listening to a barking dog, whether it is your dog or a neighbour's, can be very frustrating. On Page 3 we discuss the different reasons dogs bark and why it is important to understand the reason behind barking in order to fix the problem. Nothing makes a cat owner leap out of bed faster than their cat vomiting, so on Page 7 we discuss Reasons Cat Vomit so that you know why you are cleaning it up. Our Feature Article on Page 8 explains the Causes Of Itchy Skin in pets; because with a better understanding of the cause you can then help ease the itchy scratchy cycle for your pet. Also, don't forget to have a go at our crossword on Page 18, you might even learn something new! If you haven't already, be sure to tune in to our MyPet Podcast.
