On page 17 you will find our Winter Pet Health Care Tips to help you and your pets make it through Winter. Did you know that obesity is one the most common health conditions faced by pets? Our feature article on Page 8 focuses on this topic and discusses some of the causes, symptoms and dangers of obesity. Don't forget to test your knowledge with our crossword on page 18 - it's bound to get you thinking. And why not check out what's trending at the moment when it comes to dog names in Australia; with our Top 20 Male and Female Dog Names list on page 4 and see if your fur-baby's name made the cut! For the horse lovers out there, we explore the topic of using Alternative Therapies on page 11, and discover the sport of Campdrafting on page 12. August is also Pet Dental Month, which helps to remind us of the importance of oral care in our four-legged friends.
