hi! Welcome to the Summer edition of My Pet Magazine. This issue is full of great products, information and a bit of fun to help you and your pet enjoy the beautiful summer weather. Summer in Australia usually brings extreme heat around the country. The heat can be distressing for pets and can also lead to life threatening conditions like Heat Stroke. Our feature article on page 8 about Heat Stroke, is something all pet owners should read and be aware of during the hot weather. If your dog likes to go for a swim to cool down, you will find some water safety information on page 4 that you might like to familiarise yourself with. Adult ticks are in their highest numbers during the warmer months. As a pet owner you need to be aware of ticks and do your best to prevent your pet from falling victim to them. On page 17 are some useful tips to remember if you ever have to remove a tick from your pet. Did you ever watch Mister Ed, the famous talking horse? On page 12 are some fun facts about the show that you may not have known. Plus don't forget to test your animal knowledge with our crossword on page 18. We hope you like the mix of information, products, facts and fun we have put together for you. If there is anything else you would like to see included we'd love to hear your suggestions. So grab yourself a cool drink by the pool or under a shady tree and enjoy the summer edition of My Pet Magazine.
