A LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE FOR PET OWNERS
Hello readers ! I am excited to present to you the magazine that after a whole year of planning , months of hard work and dedication has finally come out in print .
It was in October 2011 that I planned to combine my two passions , writing and pets together . Slowly and gradually all the animal enthusiasts I know joined in and we started executing the plan into reality .
As a pet lover we want to ensure that our pet-pal is in the best of health . Therefore , we have formed a panel of experts who you can write to anytime with all kinds of animal related questions that come to your mind .
We have many veterinary doctors from around the world contributing to make this a fun yet informative magazine .
If you are planning to get a Pomeranian dog , then flip to our interview with Karen Gunning , WBFF figure , fitness instructor and owner of an adorable pom pom . Karen talks to us about Missy , the gorgeous poodle , and how Karen manages her time to give Missy all the attention she wants .
I , myself , am currently owned by a seven year old , blue and very pampered Persian cat . I know she is always up to something . I can tell from her expressions . This is what living with pets does to you ; you start understanding animals better than people ! I didn ’ t know she had a writer ’ s streak in her till I stumbled upon a piece of writing from her on my laptop . Do read “ Cat In The City ,” our regular column , where she pours her heart out and talks about how imperfect her perfect life is .
If you have picked up this magazine then I am assuming you love animals , even if you are not as crazy about them as we are and don ’ t have pets , you can always help by avoiding products tested on animals . In this issue we have featured what animals go through just to make us look beautiful in “ Death – The Price Of Beauty .”
I am a cat person , for me , nothing can be more pleasing than being surrounded by as many cats possible . If you love cats too , then you need to pack your bags and book a flight to Istanbul . Read all about it in our travel story “ Istanbul - The City Of Cats .” I am sure you will be planning your next vacation there .
So flip through the pages and enjoy what we have put together for you . Do join us on FaceBook , Meetup and Twitter and send in your suggestions on mail @ petigreemag . com
Until the next issue , have a great month ahead and look after your pet .
