hi! It's Spring time! Which means birds and bees, ticks and fleas... and of course the Spring Issue of My Pet Magazine. Spring is when all those little nasties like fleas and ticks start to increase in numbers, so be sure to have your pets protected. Tick prevention is paramount and it is also a good time to make sure your flea prevention is up to date and on schedule as we head into the hotter weather. On page 16 we have a list of Flea Control Tips to help control and eradicate fleas on your pet and in your home. As a dog owner it is important to do everything you can to keep your four-legged friend safe. Page 17 lists some top tips on How To Dog Proof Your Yard to help keep your dogs out of danger when playing in their own yard. There are a lot of different pet toys available today and each have been designed with a different purpose in mind. This issue's feature article on page 8 discusses the different types of toys and their importance, to help you pick the most suitable toy for your pet. Have you ever noticed how much cats sleep? On page 7 the article Sleepy Kitty investigates cat's sleeping patterns and just why they sleep so much. For all our horse lovers out there we have a Glossary of Equine Breeding Terms on page 11 to improve your horse knowledge and understanding of veterinary terms and procedures. 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 your picnic rug, find a shady tree and sit down and enjoy the Spring edition of My Pet Magazine!
