We're thrilled to announce a special giveaway for our readers, courtesy of our wonderful friends at Pet-Mat™! We have four fantastic Pet-Mat ™ Animal Heated Pads to give away: two in size large and two in medium.

As the weather gets colder, our pets, like many others, start to seek out the warmest spots in the house! Our Belgian Malinois, Aramis and Porthos, and our cat, Arya, are already experts at finding the cosiest places on the couch and bed.

It often feels like we can never have enough blankets and warmth for them during these chilly mornings and evenings.

If you're looking for a safe and energy-efficient way to keep your furry friends warm this winter, we wanted to share something with you: Pet Mat™! It's a simple solution designed to provide on-demand warmth for dogs or cats of all shapes and sizes throughout the colder months.

What makes Pet Mat™ so great is its unique touch-activated technology. The mat starts to warm up within five minutes of your pet lying on it and cools down once they move off. This means your beloved companions can always have a warm and inviting place to return to, whenever they need it.

During the colder months, it's vital to ensure your dog, whether a single puppy, in whelping boxes, a senior dog with osteoarthritis or a chronic illness, or a pet recovering from an injury, stays warm and comfortable.

Pet Mat™ offers an energy-efficient and cost-effective heating solution for your pets. Its remarkably low energy consumption allows you to keep it running continuously, day and night, using about the same amount of power as a computer in screensaver mode. Given the increasing cost of electricity in Australia, Pet Mat™ is a wise choice to ensure your pet stays warm this winter.

You can also rest assured that overheating won't be a problem. Pet Mat™ is designed to warm to a comfortable 20-30 degrees above the ambient room temperature, with a maximum possible increase of 40 degrees.

Travelling with your pets? Take Pet-Mat™ on the road with their portable car adaptor which you can simply plug into your car's lighter socket.

Furthermore, Pet Mat™ is designed for convenience. It's waterproof, easy to clean and store, and with proper care, it's built to provide warmth for your pets year after year.

** Win 1 of 4 Pet-Mat™ Heated Animal Pads **

Picking up after our dogs has to be our least favourite thing about being a dog parent...

Surveys have shown that around 40% of dog walkers don't clean up after their dog and all this dog waste is polluting our streets, footpaths, parks and waterways. Don't be part of the problem, be part of the solution!

There is finally an all-in-one dog poop solution (storage capsule & bag dispenser) that makes cleaning up after them easy!

Borne out of her experience of walking her three dogs each day, it was a gross problem impacting her walking experience so dog mum Rachel Hawes came up with something lightweight, burst-proof, airtight, self-contained and hands-free - an all-in-one-container that could attach seamlessly to a dog’s lead, just like a cocoon! And so, with the support of the Canberra Innovation Network she imagined the Pupoon!

To see how the Pupoon works, complete with video demonstration, visit

pupoon.com/how-pupoon-works

The Pupoon is packed with convenient features:

✔️ Attaches seamlessly to most dog leads like a cocoon!
✔️ Contains a built-in bag dispenser and airtight storage capsule, to take care of smelly poop bags until you can find a bin

✔️ Hands-free - everything you need to clean up without carrying anything
✔️ Big enough (750ml) to store large or multiple dumps!
✔️ The contents can’t spill or burst open, even when dropped
✔️ Lightweight (150g) and doesn’t flip or bounce around

✔️ Sleek, modern and bright

✔️ Fits standard poop bag rolls available from pet stores

✔️ Made from recyclable polypropylene
✔️ Australian trademark and registered design

To celebrate #NationalScoopthePoopWeek which runs during the last week of April (from April 23 to 29) right after #EarthDay2025, this is your chance to:

Win 1 of 5 copies of "My Three Dogs"by W. Bruce Cameron

Looking for some feel-good stocking fillers for a dog lover in your life or yourself?

My Three Dogs is a charming and heartfelt new novel from W. Bruce Cameron, the number one bestselling author of A Dog's Purpose, about humankind's most loyal companion, and a wonderful adventure of love, family and finding home.

Life has never been sweeter since the day Labradoodle puppy Archie came bounding into the lives of best friends Luna, the Jack Russell, and Riggs, the miniature Australian Shepherd.

However, when a tragic accident separates the three dogs from their human, they each find themselves up for adoption - alone.

After the exuberant, fun-loving Archie and quick-witted, feisty Luna are taken to new homes, Riggs's powerful herding instincts drive him to seek out his fellow companions and bring his pack back together.

But will Riggs succeed, or will he end up chasing his own tail?

Cameron's signature style shines through in this whirlwind of a novel that showcases the determination, instinct and love that make a family whole.

Searching for Gomez is an extraordinary true love story about the search for a vulnerable senior heart dog who is lost in hostile bushland, and needs help to get home.

It's also about an unprecedented response by a community of dog lovers on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, who come together to find Gomez.

But it's also about the wonder and joy of dogs: love, grief, the importance of community, the positive use of social media and the power and solace of kindness, empathy, hope and commitment, and the need to ask for and accept the help of others.

On the eve of #WorldKindnessDay (13 November 2024), we spoke to the Author, Gwenda Gray, about why she decided to share their story.

“Gomez was my “heart dog”, a very special and precious dog with whom I had a deep heart connection. I probably realised that Gomez was my heart dog when there was a risk of losing him to cancer at four years of age. Until then, Gomez had tested my patience as an extremely challenging pup, and we were only just beginning to settle into an easier relationship. I had always loved him, and I knew that there was something special about him.

When he had the diagnosis of a malignant tumour, I did not question the need to do everything I possibly could to help him to fight the cancer. I knew that he had the strength to do so, but that he also needed my unswerving commitment.

Gwenda with Gomez at the Animal Referral Hospital during his cancer treatment

I felt the intensity of our attachment and that bond kept us both motivated through a challenging year of surgeries and chemotherapy, heartbreak when the tumour returned and then joy with his unexpected recovery.

Some dogs are trained to be “emotional support dogs”, but Gomez was a “natural”, with his cheerful and wonderfully distracting style. He did not like it if I was upset, but would just get close to me, and often do something quite silly, where I had no choice but to laugh.

Gomez did a wonderful job of looking after me when I needed him.

People absolutely adored Gomez, everywhere we went, and he had a strong fan following!

He was a very handsome, proud and confident dog, but also very sweet, gentle and intuitive. Gomez was such a quirky, funny, affectionate and unique boy. He was such a gift.

Gomez did the most wonderful job of looking after me, and I did a wonderful job of looking after him, firstly when he had cancer, and then as he aged and needed special care and attention. He needed me, and I did everything I could to help him to be happy, comfortable and safe. I also had so much joy from my interactions with him and so many belly laughs.

My life with Gomez and his older brother Monty, then his younger sister Priya, was full of fun with outings to the beach, daily time at the dog park, beach holidays and playdates. I always tried to take my dogs everywhere and they were always such wonderful company. The unconditional love received from dogs is such a solace from the busy and sometimes unkind world. As a single person, my dogs have given me so much.

When Gomez was just over fifteen years of age, we were renting a house in Buderim, bordered by dense and treacherous bushland, having moved to the Sunshine Coast a couple of months before.

As a senior dog, Gomez naturally had some health issues. He had a toe removed at eleven, lost a lot of weight at twelve years and had eye surgery at thirteen which did not really work, leading to stains coming down from his eyes. His tumour became a little larger and started to put pressure on his bowels, so he had some problems with incontinence. Gomez needed constant care and reassurance, and I spent time gently cleaning him up after his accidents.

Gomez had also gradually developed arthritis over a few years, and this was managed by a range of medications and regular gentle exercise.

He was also very deaf, and only responded to a high voice and clapping, unless he could see me, when he responded to eye contact and hand signals.

It was rare for me to have a full night’s sleep, as I would listen out for him, as he sometimes had what sounded like a panic attack, where his breathing was erratic and ragged until he relaxed to my touch. While he still lived life to the full, he knew he needed some extra help and accepted it from me. I had an end of life plan, but it was not yet time.

So when my beautiful and vulnerable senior boy went missing in the bushland, I knew that I had to find him, and I knew that I needed help to do so. The thought of him alone and scared, and possibly injured, filled me with horror and heartbreak. Gomez needed me, his medicine and safety. And as you'll read in my book "Searching for Gomez", my precious heart dog inspired a whole community to help me bring him home.”

Searching for Gomez is available in paperback (RRP $43.99) and Kindle ($5.99) on Amazon AU.

Win 1 of 3 copies of BARK! - the science of helping your anxious, fearful, or reactive dog - by Zazie Todd

The must-have guide to addressing anxious, fearful, or reactive behaviours in your dog through positive reinforcement, from certified dog trainer and animal behaviourist Zazie Todd.

Is your dog showing signs of fear, anxiety, or reactivity, such as biting, food guarding, shyness, or aggressive barking? You're not alone. Close to 75% of dogs struggle with fear-based behaviours, and require our support and understanding to feel safe and secure.

In BARK!, Zazie Todd provides solutions for these behaviours. Decoding the latest canine science, she shows readers how to address the root cause of your dog's fears, with expert advice and practical tips on-

✔️ How to tackle common canine fears, such as loud noises, the vet, separation anxiety, and other dogs.

✔️ How to manage a dog's natural fear responses through positive reinforcement.

✔️ How to keep your dog, yourself, and others safe when they are fearful or reactive.

✔️ How to create safe havens for your dog, and make yourself a secure base for them no matter where they are.

Compassionate, practical, and rooted in science, BARK! helps dog owners understand the many factors that might be causing fear within your dog, and how you can help them lead a safe and happy life.

‘Few do a better job than Zazie of understanding what we really, truly know about dogs, and what science tells us what works to help them.’

Dr Patricia McConnell, applied animal behaviourist and author of The Other End of the Leash, For the Love of a Dog, and The Education of Will.

We have 5 Family Passes (= 4 Tickets) to see RUNT, thanks to our partners at STUDIOCANAL.

RUNT is a heartfelt and hilarious contemporary Australian family film based on the best-selling and critically acclaimed novel by Craig Silvey. It tells the story of eleven-year-old Annie Shearer (Lily LaTorre) and her best friend, an adopted stray dog called Runt, as they try to save their family farm in the country town of Upson Downs.

Annie and Runt share an unbreakable bond. Runt's exceptional speed and acrobatics are perfect for herding sheep, but Annie discovers a more ambitious use for his talents – the Agility Course Championships at the lucrative Krumpets Dog Show in London.

Many obstacles stand in their way. There’s Fergus Fink (Matt Day), an unscrupulous dog handler. Earl Robert-Barren (Jack Thompson) a greedy land-owner intent on acquiring the Shearer property. And a strange quirk: Runt will only obey Annie’s commands when nobody else is watching.

To overcome these hurdles, Annie enlists the help of her mother Susie (Celeste Barber) - the nation’s worst baker, her father Bryan (Jai Courtney) who harbours a secret passion, her daredevil brother Max (Jack LaTorre), her widow grandmother Dolly (Genevieve Lemon) and Bernadette Box (Deborah Mailman) a mysterious retired champion.

With all eyes on them, Annie and Runt try to beat the odds in this sincere and charming tale of kindness, friendship, tunnels, see-saws, slaloms, and, above all, living your truth.

RUNT will be in Cinemas September 19; Classification: TBC.

This promotional giveaway closes on Monday 26th August 2024.

Win 1 of 5 Pupoon all-in-one Dog Poop Solutions

At last, an all-in-one poop solution that makes cleaning up after your dog easy!

Picking up poop is likely to be your least favourite thing about being a dog parent!

You can almost guarantee that shortly after setting out on your daily walk, they’ll take a dump right where you don’t want it … on the footpath, a neighbour’s lawn, or community park.

Collar. Lead. Pupoon! It's the essential new dog walking accessory!

Borne out of her experience of walking her three dogs each day, it was a gross problem impacting her walking experience so dog mum Rachel Hawes came up with something lightweight, burst-proof, airtight, self-contained, and hands-free - an all-in-one-container that could attach seamlessly to a dog’s lead, just like a cocoon!

And so, with the support of the Canberra Innovation Network she imagined the Pupoon!

The Pupoon is packed with convenient features:

✔️ Attaches seamlessly to most dog leads like a cocoon!

✔️ Contains a built-in bag dispenser and airtight storage capsule, to take care of smelly poop bags until you can find a bin

✔️ Hands-free - everything you need to clean up without carrying anything

✔️ Fits standard poop bag rolls available from pet stores

✔️ Made from recyclable polypropylene

✔️ Big enough (750ml) to store large or multiple dumps!

✔️ The contents can’t spill or burst open, even when dropped

✔️ Lightweight (150g) and doesn’t flip or bounce around

✔️ Sleek, modern and bright – available in multiple colours (by late 2024)

✔️ Australian trademark and registered design

To see how the Pupoon works, complete with video demonstration, visit

https://pupoon.com/how-pupoon-works

Surveys have shown about 40% of dog walkers don't clean up after their dog. All this dog waste is polluting our streets, footpaths, parks and waterways. Don't be part of the problem, be part of the solution!

To celebrate the release on January 30 of The Good Dog by Simon Rowell - the third book in the Detective Zoe Mayer series, we teamed up with Text Publishing for your chance to Win 1 of 4 copies!

After gunshots echo through the summer night on Mount Macedon, Detective Sergeant Zoe Mayer and her loyal service dog Golden Retriever Harry race to the summit at first light.

What they find looks like a grisly murder-suicide: an alleged fraudster named Piers Johnson, and his lawyer Antony Peterson, both dead from bullet wounds, a gun lying nearby.

Something about the scene doesn’t stack up. There are plenty of suspects, but no one seems to be telling the truth. Zoe’s instincts are ignited, as the pressure to find and charge the culprit becomes intense.

And that’s when Peterson’s teenage daughter Sarah is snatched off the street. The Good Dog is Zoe’s toughest assignment yet, a murderous conspiracy of greed, deceit and violence. She knows that Harry may be her only chance to crack the case.

This is the third outing for Detective Sergeant Zoe Mayer, whose defining characteristic is a bad case of PTSD triggered by helicopters and drones. You should read the first book in the series to find out why; however you don't need to have read the first two instalments (The Long Game and Wild Card) to enjoy this gripping thriller that will keep you guessing until the end.

Win 1 of 4 copies of "A Dedication to Difficult Dogs: A Heartwarming Tale Shedding Light on Canine Mental Health" by Dr Dennis Wormald

Are you ready to uncover the shocking reality of canine mental health in our modern world? Do you want to read the emotions of “misbehaving” dogs in a way you won’t be able to unsee?

Immerse yourself in the fictional world of Allen and Nella, two beloved puppies who find themselves misunderstood by the people around them. Their captivating story unfolds with vivid depictions of their emotions, and the factors contributing to their anxiety. As their behavioural struggles intensify, they embark on a quest for help, but their paths diverge in unexpected ways.

Each chapter of the book ends with a "Chapter Reflections" section, where some research and theory of canine behaviour is presented to shed light on the unfolding story.

These short and accessible chapters strike the perfect balance, providing just the right amount of information without overwhelming the reader.

Allen’s barking is trained with force, providing quick results, but will he find happiness? Nella’s anxiety is managed with empathy, but will a soft-handed approach work? Join the dogs on their journey and see the devastating impact of ignorance about dog behaviour, and the power of compassion.

As a Veterinarian with a PhD in dog anxiety, author Dr Dennis Wormald brings a wealth of knowledge to this remarkable story, which is inspired by his clinical work in dog behaviour medicine. His guidance will empower you to navigate the complexities of dog behaviour with empathy and compassion.

Gain practical insights into decoding your dog's emotions, pre-empting behavioural issues, and forging an unbreakable bond of trust. Whether you're considering welcoming a new puppy, or already dealing with an anxious dog, this book is an invaluable resource.

You can learn more in his blog post "Is Mental Illness a Thing for Dogs?"

Win a PetSafe® Streamside Pet Fountain or an Eatwell Automatic Pet Feeder or 1 of 2 Chilly Penguin Freezer Toys!

We may be about to wrap up Pet Hydration Month however from experience we record much higher temps in February, so with everyone heading back to school or work, this is the perfect time to get your paws on a PetSafe® Streamside Ceramic Pet Fountain and other fantastic prizes to make life easier.

Your pet needs to drink 70ml of water per 1kg of body weight every day.

Both our dogs and cats are attracted to flowing water.

Pet fountains continuously provide your pets with fresh, filtered water encouraging them to drink more water and more often!

The quiet design of this fountain causes the water to softly bubble over (as opposed to a free-falling stream), which allows shy or timid pets to feel comfortable approaching the fountain.

The 360-degree design allows your pet to drink from the fountain from any angle!

The fountain uses a pump, carbon filter and foam filter that work together to remove pet hair, saliva and bad tastes from the water, so they always have clean water to drink.

#1. Prize: PetSafe® Streamside Ceramic Fountain (RRP: $128.99)

✔️ 1-8 litre water capacity makes it perfect for small dogs
✔️ Whisper-quiet bubbling water flow is great for picky or shy pets
✔️ High-quality, scratch-resistant ceramic is hygienic and guaranteed free of heavy metals
✔️ 360-degree design lets your cat drink water from all sides
✔️ Stylish, modern design blends in with your home décor
✔️ Compact size is perfect for small spaces
✔️ Dual filtration removes pet hair, debris, bad tastes and odours
✔️ Top-rack dishwasher safe for easy clean-up; hand wash the pump separately
✔️ Uses Charcoal Filter (PAC19-14088), Foam Filter (PAC19-14089) and Replacement Pump (PAC00-13184)

#2. Prize: PetSafe® Eatwell 5 Meal Pet Feeder (RRP: $117.19)

The 5 Meal Pet Feeder serves up to 5 meals, snacks or treats per day at the right time!

One meal is ready-to-eat as soon as you fill the tray with your pet’s food, then simply schedule the other 4 meals to be served at a later time. Setting up mealtimes is quick and easy. Use the digital timer to schedule each meal down to the minute. Once you set the schedule, the feeder will feed your pet at the same time every day, so you don’t have to set a new schedule daily. When it’s time for your pet’s next meal, the tray will automatically rotate to the next section.

Each tray section holds 1 cup (236 ml) of dry or semi-moist food and treats too! The size of each compartment allows you to fill the tray with any size kibble, jerky pieces or freeze-dried treats.

If you have a pet, who tends to eat dinner like it’s a race, use this automatic dog and cat feeder to divide their meals into smaller portions over a short amount of time.

#3. Prize: Freezable Treat Holding Chilly Penguin (RRP: Small 10.59 or Medium/Large $17.19)

The PetSafe® Freezable Treat Holding Chilly Penguin is, hands down, the coolest way to eat a treat.

If your dog needs a slow-feed option for eating wet food, this freezer toy slows down dinnertime while adding fun.

And if you need to keep your dog occupied while you’re away, you can also use this freezer dog treat toy to freeze chicken broth, yoghurt etc to help your dog savour his snacks for a lot longer.

The Chilly Penguin is a yummy cool-down for those hot days!

Key Features:

✔️ Hollow snowflake shape holds frozen treats

✔️ Stands up to tough chewers
✔️ Round base wobbles to give pets a fun challenge
✔️ Durable, vanilla-scented rubber
✔️ Dishwasher safe, top rack only

From the internationally bestselling author of A Dog's Purpose and A Dog's Way Home comes Love, Clancy: Diary of a Good Dog, a deeply moving story with a brand new cast of characters, including one very good dog.

You’ve probably never met someone like Clancy. He’s keeping a diary, he’s falling in love, there are rivals for his affections, he lives with his best friend and his worst enemy – even taken together, these factors are maybe not that unusual, except that Clancy is a dog. His point of view is therefore perhaps . . . different.

Told in W. Bruce Cameron’s signature style, a tremendous cast of wonderful characters find themselves jointly and separately navigating the challenges of life, of love, and . . . other pets, including Clancy's “worst enemy” - one very disdainful cat.

It’s a lot to keep track of, especially when things start to spin hilariously out of control, but fortunately, we’ve got the observations of Clancy, a very good dog, who shares a valuable perspective on what is really important.

About the Author:

W. Bruce Cameron is the New York Times bestselling author of 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter, which was turned into a hit television series. He is the bestselling author of A Dog’s Purpose (now a major motion picture), A Dog’s Journey, The Dog Master, The Dogs of Christmas and The Midnight Plan of the Repo Man.

He has twice been voted the number one best humour columnist by the National Society of Newspaper Columnists, and his nationally syndicated column in the US is read by more than three million readers every week. He lives in California.

Paperback, 336 pages
