vet-n-pet DIRECT

hi! Welcome to Issue 11 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. Australia's subtropical climate provides us with some extremely hot and humid weather. The tips on page 3 serve as a great reminder on how to care for your pet, keeping them happy and healthy during the hotter months. What better way to cool down and enjoy the weather than by going for a swim. On page 17 there are some top tips on teaching your dog how to swim so that you can all enjoy a nice cool dip together. With the hotter weather comes an increase in mosquito numbers and therefore an increased risk of mosquito transmitted diseases such as heartworm. This issue's feature article on page 8 discusses the potentially fatal heartworm and how to protect your dog from contracting the dangerous disease. Frequent or increased urination in cats is a common problem often noticed by cat owners. The article on page 7 explores some of the medical reasons that can cause urination issues in cats. On page 12 there is an interesting article on the Australian wild horses or Brumbies. It discusses the history of the iconic animal, their management and their significance to Australian heritage and the outback. 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 cold drink and find a shady tree to sit under while you enjoy reading this issue of My Pet Magazine.
