Just five years ago, Marie Sawle-Jones made a successful appearance on BBC Dragon's Den with her unique Billy + Margot 'doggy ice cream'.

Deborah Meaden saw massive potential in the brand, went into partnership with Marie and quickly helped Billy + Margot grow to become a premium supplier of dog treats and food throughout the UK.

Others obviously saw the potential too as The Real Pet Food company, the biggest pet food manufacturer in Australia, bought the company just four months ago with plans to take Billy + Margot 'global'.

Step one was the launch of the Iced Treats in Australia and this has been perfectly timed as the country has been hit by heat waves with Sydney sweltering under soaring temperatures of 43C.

And while humans can lose heat easily by sweating or turning up the air conditioning dogs only have very small sweat glands located in their paws. This of course is why you see dogs panting heavily as it is their main means of losing heat.

So it's Billy + Margot Iced treats to the rescue! And what pooch could possibly resist any of the three flavours - Banana & Honey; Apple, Banana & Carrot or Strawberry & Apple?

There's no doubt that Australian dogs are going to be really 'cool' this summer!
