Hints and tips for
choosing the right icing...
Royal Icing
This icing has a hard brittle set
which makes it ideal for making
decorative features like leaves,
flowers and lace. It is most often
used for finishing wedding cakes,
as well as decorating biscuits.
Glazes
Thin flowing icings which give
foods a glossy finish. They are
most commonly used for
brushing or drizzling over
danishes and other pastries,
glazing flans and tarts.
Buttercream Icing or
Frosting
The most popular and versatile
icing mixture due to its smooth
and creamy texture, which
makes it ideal for piping, filling
and spreading. To enhance the
look and taste of desserts,
flavours and colours are often
added to this icing.
Fondant Icing
This icing is most commonly
used on wedding and
celebration cakes. It gives them
an elegant finish, due to the
icing’s smooth texture and its
delicate porcelain appearance.

Welcome to
September
Who doesn’t love a good piece of cake
– mmmnnn! And this month you really can
have your cake and more as Curtis Stone
shares the perfect recipe for Father’s Day,
as well as how to put delicious meals on the
family table for $10 or less (p39).
Talking of the family table, we
understand how important it is to keep
mealtimes interesting without costing the
earth, or having to spend hours in the
kitchen. We’re here to help with ideas on
how to make the most of best-in-season produce (p17), tips on
cooking succulent pan-fried chicken breast (p27) and how you can
give mince a mouth-watering makeover (p28).
But it’s not all about food (as much as we love it!). Other highlights
include beautiful brights from Mix clothing (p53) and, for those of us
who love our furry friends, we have a pet special (p55). Lastly, as the
new magazine Publications Manager, a big warm hello to you all!

Oh mandy!
Juicy Australian mandarins are plentiful
right now and their unique flavour lends
a hand to many dishes. Try a salad of
mandarin segments tossed with baby
spinach leaves, toasted walnuts, pitted
green olives and sliced red onion. Add a
splash of creamy yoghurt dressing, with
a squeeze of mandarin juice, and grilled
chicken or pork has an added burst of
flavour. With the party season coming
up, mandarin juice and segments are
fabulous in punches and cocktails as well.

know your avo
Half an avocado is a good source
of folate for a healthy immune
system. It’s also a good source of
fibre, plus it contains potassium
for healthy hydration and “good”
monounsaturated fat. Not sure of
the difference between avocado
varieties? Here’s a quick guide.
Shepard
Shepards stay green even when
the fruit is ripe and ready to eat.
Buy them February to April
How to use The flesh doesn’t go
brown when cut, so they’re perfect
for salads and sandwiches. Dice
and use in a salsa, or as a tasty
topping for baked potatoes.
Hass
Oval in shape, the hass has
distinctive pebbly skin which turns
dark purple as the fruit ripens.
Buy them May to January
How to use Mix through pasta
or use in sushi or tacos. For a
convenient, healthy snack – simply
halve and sprinkle with extra virgin
olive oil, lemon, salt and pepper.
Bakeware
Reed
Reeds are round, with a large
seed and pale flesh. The skin stays
green even when fully ripened.
Buy them July to January
How to use Its smooth and
creamy flesh is perfect for
mashing into a spicy guacamole,
spreading on toast, and using
as a substitute for butter.
There’s no denying that when kids have a growth spurt,
it comes on quickly! Mix recognises that munchkins
come in all sizes, so the good news is that the Mix kids’

spices
mistress of
Former MasterChef contestant Alana Lowes is
launching Alana’s Pantry Spicy sauces, a range
of table sauces offering a world of flavour.
Savour the tempting tastes of Turkey with
a sauce blended with aromatic spices,
pomegranate, mild red pepper and walnut.
Spicy Vietnam is a mild-yet-spicy blend of
sweet chilli, fresh coriander and zesty lime.
Spicy Mexico is a bold blend of smoky chipotle,
tomato and paprika; while Spicy India brings
together tangy green chilli and pineapple.
Spicy Morocco is a fiery offering of cumin and
red chilli harissa; and Spicy Malaysia is a hot
chilli, ginger and garlic splash that’s perfect
over rice or stirred through noodles.
Finally, Australia takes to the world stage
with Spicy Aussie sauce – a chunky tomato,
capsicum and chilli sauce to add a delicious
kick to barbecues.
Find them in stores from August 19 and start
your flavour journey on a trip to Mexico with
Alana’s seductively spicy recipe.
¾ cup Alana’s Pantry Spicy Mexico sauce
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
juice of 1 orange
2 cloves garlic, crushed
½ cup maple syrup
¼ cup brown sugar
1.5kg pork ribs (American style)
coriander sprigs and sesame seeds,
to garnish
juice of 1 lime
APPLE SLAW
1 tbsp mild English mustard
juice of ½ lemon
½ cup whole egg mayonnaise
3 apples, cut into matchsticks
1 Place Alana’s Pantry Spicy Mexico sauce,
Worcestershire sauce, orange juice, garlic,
maple syrup and brown sugar in a large
baking dish and stir to combine.
2 Add the ribs and turn to coat completely
in the marinade. Allow to marinate for
at least 30 mins, preferably for 4 hrs or
overnight.
3 Preheat oven to 185°C or 165°C fan. Drain
marinade from ribs and reserve for basting.
Return ribs to baking dish, cover with foil,
and bake for 45 mins. Remove baking dish
from oven and remove foil.
4 Increase oven temperature to 200°C or
180°C fan. Baste the ribs with some of the
reserved marinade. Return ribs to oven for
10 mins. Baste again, and return to oven.
Repeat this until all the marinade has
been used and ribs look caramelised
and sticky, around 15-20 mins.
5 To make the apple slaw, whisk together
the mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper
until well combined. Stir the mustard
mixture into the whole egg mayonnaise
and season to taste. Stir the mayonnaise
through the apples.
6 To serve, cut the ribs up into 1-2 rib
portions. Place on a serving tray and
sprinkle with coriander, sesame seeds
and squeeze over the lime juice. Serve
with the apple slaw.

Also known as courgette, zucchini is a member
of the squash family. It grows on bushes and
can range in colour from almost white, to yellow,
to green. It was Italian migrants who brought
this vegie to Australia. The most common
zucchini has dark, jungle-green skin, and
succulent white flesh with edible seeds. Zucchini
can be enjoyed both raw and cooked and in
a wide range of savoury and sweet dishes.
A 75g serve of cooked zucchini provides vitamin
C, folate and the antioxidant manganese. Look
for zucchini with glossy skin that is firm to the
touch. Store them in a plastic bag in the fridge
and use within three days of purchase.
“Grown near Bowen, Qld, zucchini is a very
versatile vegetable. Slice it, dice it, grate
it, or stuff with bacon, onion, garlic and
breadcrumbs and bake it with cheese on top.”
Zucchini loves cheese so it’s at home in frittatas
and slices. It’s also delicious stuffed, or crumbed
and fried. Dress chargrilled zucchini in olive oil,
lemon juice, garlic and crushed chilli. Don’t
forget zucchini can also be used in sweet baked
goodies including cakes, breads and muffins.

There are many exotic tomato varieties available
these days, with most cultivated in hot houses
and other carefully controlled environments.
But field tomatoes are ever popular and for good
reason. Their size, shape, colour and flavour have
tantalised tastebuds for centuries and they’re
a star ingredient in many cuisines. Seductively
round and a luscious glossy red, field tomatoes
were once referred to as “love apples”. They are
almost inexhaustibly versatile, both raw and
cooked, and are a good source of vitamin C.
Choose tomatoes that have an earthy smell and
are heavy for their size. Never store tomatoes in
the fridge as they’ll lose flavour and turn mushy.
“The premium growing conditions here in the
Whitsunday region produce tomatoes full of
colour and flavour. We love them as a snack
on a cracker with cheese and cracked pepper.”
From sandwiches and salads to soups and
sauces, tomatoes are a culinary hero. Their
flavour is well enhanced by herbs, especially
mint, oregano, basil and parsley. Stack sliced
tomato and bocconcini and top with chopped
fresh basil and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Once known as “tree tomatoes” tamarillos have
travelled far and wide from their Latin American
roots. Tamarillos are oval-shaped with a glossy
red or golden skin. They’re packages of good
health, with a 60g tamarillo providing fibre,
vitamins A and E and a good source of immuneboosting vitamin C. Tamarillos are a fruit, just like
their tomato relatives, and can be eaten raw or
cooked in both sweet and savoury dishes. Enjoy
their tart, tangy flavour by simply cutting them in
half and scooping out the flesh. Choose fruit that
are fully coloured. They should be slightly soft to
the touch with a loosened stalk. Refrigerate for
up to two weeks and peel them before use.
“Our tamarillos grow among the tall karri
forests in Pemberton, WA. We hand pick the
hanging fruit on misty winter mornings and
enjoy them blended into delicious smoothies.”
Tamarillos work well with cheese and in jams,
chutneys and relishes. Use them in sandwiches,
salads, pies, tarts, muffins – and even on pizza!
For a sauce for pork and poultry, puree sautéed
tamarillo and onion with brown sugar, nutmeg,
cinnamon, and a splash of malt vinegar.
Asparagus, broccoli, carrots, garlic, silverbeet,
mushrooms, mandarins, grapefruit and lemons.

how to
1
Check the chicken breast fillets are a similar
weight so they cook evenly – average 200g
fillets need a total cooking time of 15 mins.
2
Preheat oven to 200°C or 180°C fan. Rub
chicken with olive oil and season. Heat
a heavy-based frying pan over high heat.
3
Cook the chicken top-side down for 3 mins
or until golden, then turn and cook for
1-2 min. Transfer to a lined baking tray.

Pan-fried
chicken
Words Mandy Sinclair Styling Jane Collins Photos Rob Shaw & Getty Images
Chicken breast is Australia’s favourite cut
of meat, but it’s also one of the easiest to
overcook. For moist and tender results
every time, follow this easy guide.
Try this ...
To make salsa verde, process 1 cup dill
sprigs, 1 cup parsley leaves, ½ cup mint
leaves, 2 tbsp capers and 1 chopped
garlic clove in a food processor until
finely chopped.
Add ¼ cup extra
virgin olive oil and
2 tbsp lemon juice
and process until
combined. Store
leftover salsa
verde in an airtight
container in the
fridge for 2-3 days.
4
Bake for 10-12 mins or until cooked. To test,
press the thickest part with your finger
− it should be firm with just a little give.
5
Cover the chicken loosely with foil and
set aside for 5 mins to rest. Thickly slice
and serve with mash and salsa verde (right).
Notes • To cook more than 4 fillets at a time, fry
in batches. • If using a meat thermometer to
test the chicken, it should reach 75°C for 2 mins.

2 medium (200g) carrots, peeled and cut into
2cm pieces
8 cloves garlic, crushed (2 tbsp)
20g fresh ginger, peeled, finely grated (2 tbsp)

2 cups (100g) finely shredded green drumhead cabbage
½ cup fresh coriander leaves (from a bunch)
1 tbsp Classic Asian Rice Wine Vinegar
1 Heat a large non-stick frying pan over high
heat. Add 1 tbsp of oil. Pinch off large bite-size
pieces of the beef mince and add them to the
pan. Cook until the beef begins to form a dark
brown crust and the juices evaporate, about
5 mins. Using a slotted spoon, transfer beef

2 Add potatoes and carrots to the pan and stir
to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about
4 mins, or until golden brown, but still firm.
Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 min,
stirring constantly so they don’t burn. Return
beef to pan. Add the red wine vinegar and cook
for about 30 secs, or until vinegar evaporates.
3 Add the stock. Reduce heat to medium.
Cover and cook for 12 mins, or until potatoes
are just tender. Stir in sugar and soy sauce.
Cover and simmer until potatoes and carrots
are just tender but not mushy, about 3 mins.
Uncover and simmer for 2 mins, or until the
sauce reduces just enough to glaze the beef
and vegetables. Season with salt and pepper.
4 In a large bowl, toss cabbages, coriander, rice
vinegar, and remaining ½ tbsp of oil to coat.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
5 Spoon beef mixture into four shallow bowls.
Mound the slaw alongside and serve.

480g brushed potatoes, washed
½ small shallot, finely chopped
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
40g loose rocket
1 medium carrot, peeled, shaved into ribbons
with vegetable peeler
½ small red onion, thinly sliced
1 Position an oven rack in the centre of the oven
and preheat the oven to 175°C or 155°C fan.
2 Season the beef with salt and pepper.
Heat a heavy medium casserole pan over
medium-high heat. Add the oil, then the
beef and cook, turning as needed, for about
10 mins, or until the beef is brown on all sides.
3 Add the onion, thyme, and garlic and cook,
stirring to scrape up the brown bits on the
base of the pan, for about 2 mins, or until the
onion is translucent. Reduce heat to medium,
add the vinegar and then the stock, stirring
to scrape up any remaining brown bits. Add
the water to just cover the beef. Cover the
pan and transfer it to the oven. Braise for
about 2 hrs, or until the beef is just tender.
4 Remove the pan from the oven and place it
over medium-low heat on the stove. Simmer
gently, uncovered, for about 15 mins, or until
the sauce has reduced to about one-quarter
of its original volume. Remove the thyme
stems. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
5 Meanwhile, to make the potato salad, place
potatoes in a medium saucepan and add
enough water to cover. Add salt, and bring
the water to the boil over medium-high
heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and
simmer for about 5-7 mins, or until a knife
inserted into a potato slides in easily but
still has some resistance in the centre.
Drain, then place the potatoes on a plate
for 10 mins, or until cool enough to handle.
6 While potatoes are cooling, in a medium
bowl, whisk the shallot and vinegar to blend.
Slowly add 3 tbsp of the oil whilst whisking to
blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
7 Preheat a chargrill pan over medium-low
heat or an outdoor barbecue to medium.
Quarter the potatoes, then place in a large
bowl and toss to coat with remaining 1 tbsp
of oil. Season with salt and pepper. Cook
potatoes on grill, turning as needed, until
lightly charred and tender, about 10 mins.
Transfer to a large bowl.
8 To serve, toss the potatoes, rocket, carrot,
and onion with enough vinaigrette to coat.
Season with salt and pepper. Spoon the
beef onto 4 plates, then mound the potato
salad alongside and serve.

pinot on his Dad’s day wish list,
plus more great buys to try.
H
appy Father’s Day. It’s
the day when dads right
around the country are
celebrated, and a day when
breakfast and a newspaper in
bed should be standard practice.
It’s also a day when many of
us probably feel more than just
a little bit guilty for everything
that we put our dads through
over years gone by. For every
gruelling parent-teacher interview
they endured, for the never-ending
trail of mess we left for them to
clean up, for thanklessly sponging
their hard-earned cash, for
communicating with them in
‘grunts’, and for more than their
fair share of sleepless nights. For
those of us who are parents, I’m
sure karma will have its way!
I have no idea what’s in store
for me this Father’s Day. What I do
know is that if it involves spending
the day with my family and revolves
around eating and drinking, then
I’ll be a happy man indeed.
I’ve got my fingers crossed for
roast chicken and pinot noir. If it
happens to be Chalkboard Central
Otago Pinot Noir 2012 – the latest
instalment from the talented
team at Peregrine Wines and the
best Chalkboard Pinot to date
– even better! This is a delicious
entry-level pinot, where smells of
sour cherry and Middle Eastern
spice make way for a soft and
delicate mouthful of wine.
And finally, if my football team
wins, well that will be the icing
on the cake! I hope that you have
a great day also.

avocados
The pleasure of an Aussie avocado isn’t new, but with your
support these green fruits are now giving even more, thanks
to Coles, their avocado growers and Make-A-Wish® Australia.
Really good guacamole
Halve and remove seeds from 2 medium
avocados. Scoop into a bowl and mash
with a fork. Finely chop ½ small red onion
and 1 seeded tomato. Add to the bowl with
2 tbsp chopped coriander and ½ tsp finely
chopped red chilli (optional). Drizzle over
2 tbsp lime juice. Stir until just combined.
Season with a little salt.

erfectly ripe avocados are delicate things, but it takes
a tough farmer to grow them. “High temperatures damage
crops, and extreme weather events and drought are
constant worries,” says grower Alan Blight from Avowest orchard
and packhouse in Carabooda, just north of Perth, WA.
Avocados don’t ripen on the tree, so after harvesting when they
reach their full flavour and creaminess, they’re packed, gently
ripened and delivered to Coles. “We pick fresh fruit and aim to
have that fruit on the shelf as quickly as possible,” says Alan.
The orchard has 20 hectares of Hass avocado trees and from
August to October Avowest harvests and packs about 20 bins
worth – that’s 25,000 avocados – per day.
Good news because during the month of August Coles is donating
$100,000 from avocado sales to Make-A-Wish Australia to help grant
the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions,
including eight-year-old Shannon from Morley WA. In February,
Shannon’s wish to go the Gold Coast theme parks came true.
“It’s great to be giving something back,” Alan says. “With Coles,
I got to support the work that Make-A-Wish do and see the
enjoyment it brought to Shannon. He looked so happy on the
quad bike when he visited the orchard!”
The Hass is Australia’s favourite avocado, so how does Alan
enjoy his? “I cut mine in half and put a dollop of sweet chilli sauce
in the middle.” His advice for shoppers? “Choose Australian, and
if you love the taste, go back and buy another one!”

2 ripe medium avocados
2 tbsp lemon juice
12 large (22cm) rice paper wrappers

1 cup shredded green oak lettuce
Dipping sauce
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tbsp Coles Brand Crunchy Peanut Butter
2 tbsp water
1 small garlic clove, crushed
½ tsp finely chopped red chilli
2 tbsp chopped Coles Brand Unsalted Peanuts
1 Halve and remove the seed from 1 avocado, then peel and cut each
half lengthways into 6 slices. Place on a plate and drizzle over half
the lemon juice (this stops it turning brown). Repeat with remaining
avocado and lemon juice.
2 Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip 1 rice paper sheet in water,
then drain and place on a board. (It continues to soften on standing.)
3 Arrange 2 coriander leaves and 2 mint leaves in a line across the
lower third of wrapper. Place 1 prawn half across the herbs, then
1 avocado slice alongside. Place another prawn half on the avocado,
and place another avocado slice on the first prawn. Top with some
bean sprouts and shredded lettuce.
4 Fold base of the wrapper over filling, and fold in the sides. Roll up
to enclose. Place on a tray. Repeat with remaining wrappers and
fillings (to prevent sticking, keep the rolls slightly apart on the tray).
Serve with the dipping sauce.
5 To make the dipping sauce, use a fork to whisk the hoisin sauce and
peanut butter in a small bowl, then whisk in water. Stir in the garlic
and chilli. Place into a bowl and sprinkle with peanuts.

hings have changed in the world of home hair
colour – and it all starts with the way it’s applied.
The new Schwarzkopf Ultimate Colour MultiUsage Permanent Colour Foam can literally be mixed
on your scalp, straight from the aerosol cans.
“The simplicity is what astounds people,” says Grant
Withnell, national technical educator for Schwarzkopf
Colour. “The fact that there’s no mess and it doesn’t drip.”
Another benefit of mixing on the spot is that leftover
colour can be kept for up to three years, making touch-ups
or additional root coverage easier than ever.
Spoilt for choice
The colour wheel has expanded, meaning many
shades that were once considered salon-only can
now be achieved at home. This particularly applies
to more subtle shades of blonde or red.
“We’ll see a resurgence of copper tones this spring
and summer,” predicts Grant. “Before, if you were
doing copper, it was bright but now there are more
subtle variations. And because they have more warmth,
you don’t have to go for lairy orange – there’s more
choice available now.”
Extra choice often means a conundrum over which
shade to try. Chris Tsiknaris, director colourist and
educator at Tsiknaris Hair in Brisbane, suggests that
neutral, vanilla shades of blonde will be popular
52
in spring, alongside reds and rich copper shades.
“I call it ‘mink blonde’ – look at Gossip Girl star Blake
Lively for inspiration,” he advises.
A final tip from Grant: “If you’re unsure of which
shade to choose, go for the lighter one. If it’s not dark
enough, you can do it again. But if it’s too dark, it’s
hard to go the other way.”
Care factor
With its tell-tale smell, ammonia – traditionally used
to oxidise or fix the colour to the hair shaft – has long
been a colouring turn-off. At last, there are some true
alternatives. Garnier’s new Olia Permanent Hair Colour
range nixes ammonia in favour of a blend of oils that
help colour penetrate the hair fibre. The colour results
are just as good, minus the smell – and the oils help
to nourish and care for your hair.

Every pet deserves a loving home, but sadly, thousands of
animals are homeless, waiting for a second chance. Caroline
Zambrano shows that there are some wonderful organisations
dedicated to finding abandoned animals the right home.
S
“It’s best to choose a dog
that has an energy level
either equal to or lower
than your own.”
Ready to adopt?
If you’ve decided to adopt a dog, you
next need to work out what kind of dog
you want. Dr Joanne Sillince of Pets
Australia says choosing a dog should not
be about the cute factor – you need to
think about the kind of dog that best
suits your family and lifestyle.
ince 2008, 50,000 dogs have found their
permanent home through the PEDIGREE®
Adoption Drive. This is a joint initiative with
animal adoption organisation PetRescue. The
program has also raised more than $1 million
towards improving the life of homeless dogs.
PetRescue figures state more than 2000 families
in Australia adopt a dog each month.
“Mars Petcare supports this important work
in over 28 countries around the world through
the PEDIGREE® Adoption Drive. We make a real
difference not just helping pets find new homes,
but also raising awareness about this important
issue,” says Sylvia Burbery, General Manager of
Mars Petcare Australia. “We love pets and
many of us bring our pets to work with us –
some of our pets have been adopted through
this program. It’s part of what we try to do
every day – make a better world for pets.”
Mars Petcare has come up with some
innovative ideas to try to find as many great
homes for rescue pets as possible. In 2011, the
company introduced Dog-A-Like, a fun app
that uses facial recognition technology to
match your photo to that of a dog available
for adoption. More than 100,000 Dog-A-Likes
were generated and the app was the overall
winner of the 2012 AMIA Awards, the most

If you have kids, consider ‘bull
breeds’ and terriers last. Working
breeds, such as shepherds, are best suited
to active families whilst lapdog breeds
like chihuahuas suit less active owners.
Also consider older dogs, as they are
often more sensible and tolerant.
3
n
How much time are you likely to
spend looking after your dog’s
coat? Don’t consider a long-haired dog
unless you are prepared to spend an
hour each week grooming it.
3
n
Once you decide what kinds of dogs
best suit your family, search the
adoption pages until you find one that fits
your criteria – not the other way around.
3
n
If you have other pets, take your
time to introduce them to your
adopted dog and see if they get along.
Fostering is a great way to do this.

Take time to let your dog settle

“Whilst the PEDIGREE® Adoption campaign
never stops, Mars Petcare is continuously looking
at new and creative ideas to help more pets find
a good home. So people should keep their eyes
peeled in September/October this year!”.
In the meantime, you can show support
by adopting a dog from petrescue.com.au,
donating, volunteering, buying Pedigree dog
food and supporting the PEDIGREE® Adoption
Drive Australia Facebook page. For every
supporter who likes the Facebook page,
PEDIGREE® will donate a bowl of dog food
to feed a dog in a shelter on your behalf.
“This is just another way to show that the
PEDIGREE® brand is committed to making the
world a better place for dogs,” says Sylvia. “And
we will continue to champion dog adoption by
encouraging people to experience the joy an
adopted dog can bring into their lives.”
Here kitty
Don’t forget that animal pounds, shelters and
rescue groups always have cats and kittens
looking for loving homes. Purina Petcare has
partnered with Animal Welfare League
Australia (AWLA) to support cat adoption
nationally. Each year AWLA re-homes around
45,000 animals and provides invaluable
services for animals in need. They’re supported
by 1200 active volunteers and, right now, they
have hundreds of cats and kittens (and dogs
and puppies) in shelters around Australia
waiting to find homes. Go to purina.com.au/
owning-a-cat/adopt for more information.
You can also contact your local pound or the
Cat Protection Society in your state.
Beaks and bunnies and
other things funny!
“When you rescue an animal from
a shelter you are giving them
another chance at a whole new life.
But this carries a responsibility to
put the needs of these pets first
and to be a forever home,” says
Dr Joanne Sillince of Pets Australia.
Before adopting any pet, you
need to consider if you can afford
the costs that are involved in
owning a pet. Do you have a home
that is adequate for your new pet
to live in and are you prepared to
exercise your pet daily?
Too many animals are dumped
at shelters because people were
not prepared to commit to the pet
for the rest of its life. “It’s not the
size of the house or backyard, it’s
the time your dog spends with you
and the time out of the backyard
that’s important,” she says.

Q
a
My dog is continually
peeing in the same
naughty spot. What
can I do?
Dogs have a more acute sense of
smell than humans and if little
accidents aren’t removed
effectively, the lingering scent
will trigger a re-offence in the
same spot. Cleansers that contain
ammonia won’t do the trick either,
as ammonia is also present in
urine so it all smells the same to an
animal. Rufus & Coco Wee Away has
a fresh, natural scent and contains
natural enzymes that break down uric
acid salt crystals and prevent re-soiling
in the same spot. Wee Away is safe to
use on carpets, and can be used to
stop cats territorial markings too.
Dry or wet food – what is best?
Whether to feed dry, wet or fresh pet food
often comes down to personal preference.
Dry food is a popular choice among owners
but if you’re feeding dry food to your pets,
make sure they’re also drinking plenty
of water. Channel Nine veterinarian
Dr Michael Archinal says there may be
some advantages to feeding pets wet food,
as it better matches pets’ normal
nutritional requirements. “It’s much easier
to control weight with wet food and it can
also reduce the incidence of bladder stones
in small dogs and
urinary tract
issues in cats,”
he says.

just the good
stuff.
It’s no secret that the best way to a healthy
cat or dog is a healthy diet.
At Applaws, that means a complete dry food that’s free
from cereals and grains. Why?
Because they’re higher in carbohydrate which
can turn to fat when eaten and could lead to
health problems.
Cats and Dogs are meat eaters by nature. They need meat, not
wheat, to thrive.
We use 50% high quality protein in our ingredients with
50% healthy fruit and vegetables.

Feeding
TIME
Providing a healthy daily
diet for your pet is easy with
the Coles pet food aisle and
Caroline Zambrano’s guide.
W
hen your pet is part of your family,
it’s natural to want to feed them the
best way you can – with food that’s
tasty, high in quality and maintains good
health. A healthy pet diet is one that’s balanced
in nutrients and appropriate for the breed, size
and age of your pet.
“Higher-priced foods generally use higher
quality ingredients,” says Dr Michael Archinal,
who is Channel Nine’s resident veterinarian
‘Dr Ark’. “But every dog and cat food sold in
supermarkets still needs to be ‘complete and
balanced’, be life stage oriented and meet the
new Australian pet food standards, which are
world-leading. If the pet food follows these
standards, then you can be assured your pet
is getting the best nutrition possible.”
Food that’s labelled ‘complete and balanced’
means the ingredients in the food satisfy the
nutritional requirements of the animal, so you
shouldn’t need to supplement your pet’s diet
with additional vitamins or minerals. In fact,
some pet foods contain added ingredients,
such as omega fatty acids for a healthy coat
and skin, antioxidants for healthy brain
function and glucosamine and chondroitin
for joint support.
Food for life
Pet food is formulated to cater for the
nutritional requirements at different stages
of growth in different sized breeds.“Feeding

older dog can be detrimental to their health

as the food contains the right level of nutrients
designed to support the animal at that life
stage,” says Dr Archinal.
Got a pet with weight issues? Don’t assume
that food labelled ‘light’ or ‘low calorie’ is the
best choice. “The feeding guidelines on pet
foods are guidelines only and not to be taken
as a strict rule,” he says. “That’s why you need
to consult your vet about which food and how
much you need to be feeding your pet,
especially if your pet is overweight.”
As pets age, they begin to show signs of
slowing down. They can also develop
problems with their joints and it’s easier to
for them to put on weight. Talk to your vet
about the particular dietary requirements
for your older pet and have regular check-ups
to help prevent common ailments that come
with ageing.
Reading
labels
Like all commercial food products,
the ingredients on pet foods are listed
in descending order by weight, but they
don’t have to be specific. Meat by-products
such as offal are nutritious for your pet, but
a higher proportion of muscle meat and other
quality ingredients can make the food easier
to digest. If you don’t like the idea of your
pet eating meat by-products, choose
a brand that uses only real meat
and other natural ingredients,
such as Applaws.

Choosy cat?
Cats are natural
carnivores and it’s
common for them to
develop fussy eating
habits. Kangaroo
mince products from
the meat department
are a convenient
supplement to
a ‘complete and

diet if your cat isn’t
keen on regular
wet foods. Look for

block all doors, windows and other
escape routes such as fireplaces.
l Don’t release your cat until the house
is as quiet as possible and confine
her to one room for a few days with
familiar objects and smells. Gradually
open new rooms for exploring.
l If your cat is used to roaming outside,
start with an enclosed area away

Follow this simple checklist by Wendy Squires to
make moving house stress-free and safe for your pets.
M
oving house has been proven to be one
of life’s most stressful events – just
below losing a spouse, divorce, and
going to jail – and it’s even worse for pets. After
all, at least we know what’s actually going on.
There are too many horror stories of pets
running away from new homes in search of their
old familiar territory, and heartbroken owners
wondering what they could have done to make
the transition easier. The answer is, a lot.
We’ve asked experts from the RSPCA and the
Petcare Information and Advisory Service (PIAS)
as well as numerous veterinarians to share their
top tips for ensuring owners have one less thing
to worry about when moving.
how to prepare your pet
S et regular times for games, walks and treats
in the weeks before the move so your animal
has a continued sense of routine.
l Update your pet’s tags with your new contact
details and make sure collars are secure.
l Secure all fences at your new property.
l Consider getting a friend to mind your pet
for a few days or have them boarded while the
house is being packed – it will be safe from
doors left open by removalists and the distress
of seeing familiar surrounds disappear.
l

et a copy of your pet’s veterinary records so
G
you can take these to a vet in your new area.
l Do your research about the area you are
moving to in case there are dangers to be
aware of, such as ticks and snakes.
l Don’t wash bedding before the move so they
smell familiar when you get to their new home.
l Pack your pet’s belongings last so they are
really easy to find – include bedding, bowls,
blankets and favourite toys.
l Move the furniture into the house before your
pet arrives to give them a sense of familiarity.
l Ask your vet about pheromone products that
can calm nervy pets. Start exposure 3-4 days
before moving so your pet is relaxed on the
day, and continue use for several weeks.
l Leave your phone details and new address at
your old home in case your pet returns.
l Bring your pet’s normal food in case it’s not
readily available at the new place. Sudden diet
change may cause upsets such as diarrhoea.
l Introduce yourself and your pets to your
neighbours. Animals often run in a panic
and hide somewhere as close as next door.
l Cats and dogs must be over eight weeks old
before they can travel by air. If you are moving
interstate or overseas, call 1300 856 654 or visit
animaltravel.com.au for more information.

It’s important to keep oxygen levels
up when transporting fish. If you’re

a fish retailer to squirt some pure

Tooth tactics
Oral care is important for pet health, so be armed
to the teeth with Caroline Zambrano’s tips.
Warning signs
Some dental problems vets look for
are red gums (gingivitis); plaque;
tartar; damaged, loose or overgrown
teeth; oral swellings or lumps; signs
of pain; and even bad breath,
which may be a sign of infection.
“Most pets won’t stop eating
unless it’s excruciating to chew, so
take notice of decreased appetite,
difficulty eating or dropping food,”
Dr Hawke says.
Brushing basics
Tooth brushing is most effective in
controlling plaque, but don’t use
human toothpaste as it is not
designed to be swallowed.
“Use a toothbrush and toothpaste
designed for pets and have your
pet’s teeth examined by a vet
before starting a brushing program
as the presence of any existing
dental disease can make brushing
painful,” Dr Hawke explains.

TIGERS
chew factor
Pet ‘dental diets’ and chew treats
have also been proven to help
reduce plaque and/or tartar
build-up. You can also give your pet
chew toys or uncooked raw bones.
“These help to remove the plaque
by physical abrasion by killing
bacteria or preventing plaque from
hardening into tartar,” says Dr
Hawke. “Avoid cooked bones as
thay can cause gastrointestinal
obstruction and teeth fractures.”
If you’re not sure which diets,
treats or toys are suitable, check
for the Veterinary Oral Health
Council (VOHC) seal of approval
and consult your vet for advice.

seeds and whole grains, to provide your bird with the
protein and carbohydrates it needs to stay healthy.
They also contain shell grit, which is a valuable source of calcium
& essential for the development of strong bones & healthy muscles.

Seeds alone won’t provide your bird with a complete diet.
