The Big Bark dog podcast is Irelands Number 1 dog related podcast. Each episode, Darragh and his trusty sidekick pups Bruno, Milly & Roxy bringing all the canine stories to you, with the biggest interviews with pet professionals.

Once again, this week, we welcome back Dr. Ashleigh Bugler from Treaty Veterinary Clinic to our health hub - Dr. Bugler this week gives an overview of skin allergies, how to handle these and how to know if your dog is suffering from issues with their anal glands and how you can provide them with some relief.

This week, we take a look at the case of a Cork woman who walked away with a minimal 250 euro fine after pleading guilty to 12 counts of animal cruelty. With dogs found stuffed in crates, living in their own shit and with one dog even being presented to a local vet with a broken pelvis after being forced to try mate with a larger breed dog, the ignorance of the judge in this case can only be described as astounding, proof that the justice system is a failure when it comes to the protection and welfare of animals.

Once again, this week, we welcome back Dr. Ashleigh Bugler from Treaty Veterinary Clinic to our health hub - Dr. Bugler this week chats itchy skin conditions including hot spots, how to handle these and how to know if your dog is suffering from issues with their anal glands and how you can provide them with some relief.

Since the announcment of the XL bully ban by Minister Humpreys, we've been contacted by a number of dog owners who have told us there is a changing attitude from the public towards their dogs and not just toward restricted breeds either. There appears to be a general widespread fear of all dogs by a specific cohort of society, which is coming from mainstream media fuelling the fear along with local councillors such as DLR council and most recently Cllr Gavan of Limerick Council calling on Mayor John Moran to introduce bye laws to deal with what she says are over 70 restricted breeds. The spread of misinformation from councillors is causing an unease among both the public and dog owners. We discuss why councillors need to display effective control of the information that they share and why our local authorities and the dog hating cohort of society need to be re-educated on matters surrounding dog control.x

Today is another one of those shorter shows. This week we chat about canine communication - have you ever wondered what your dog is trying to say to you? Those cute sad puppy dog eyes, are they a guilt trip mechanism or is your dog trying to tell you something? How do you recognise calming signals? To answer these questions and more, Samanta Rawson of The Canine College joins us in studio.

We also talk about the hazards of winter, grit, antifreeze and cold weather and how to keep your dog safe and comfortable when the weather gets chilly.

Finally we give you an update on our calendars and our charity campaign.

Today, we're chatting about Roxy recently going into her first season and how it affected her. She got clingy and needy and she was certainly in discomfort. She hated being away from us and would cry if we left her for a few minutes. With that in mind, we invited Dr. Ashleigh Bugler from Treaty Veterinary Clinic on to chat with us about the different aspects of the heat cycle, from symptoms that your dog is going into season, how to make your dog comfortable during their heat cycle along with tips to help keep your dog safe from every other male doggy in the parish.

Given that Roxy was quite clingy and lonely during her heat cycle, we also brought Samantha Rawson of The Canine College back to the show to chat a bit about Separation issues and Separation anxiety in dogs.

We chat all about our upcoming Christmas special All I woof for Christmas, give details of our Christmas raffle and remind you about our 2023 Christmas charity campaign for DSPCA & Haven Rescue.

This week, we welcome back Dr. Ashleigh Bugler from Treaty Veterinary Clinic to our health hub - Dr. Bugler this week chats about itchy ears and ear infections and how to help your dog ditch that itch.

We chat about the newly announced XL bully ban which was announced by Minister for rural and community development Heather Humpreys last Friday and we also focus in on the immediate negative effect this is having with one local authority Dun Laoighre Rathdown County council, operating outside of the boundaries of the control of dogs act 1986 and control of dogs regulations 1998 to implement instructions to prohibit the rehoming of all restricted breed dogs. DLR council civil servants had also issued instructions outlining that these breeds were to be destroyed within 5 days if unclaimed from Dublin dog pound by their owners sparking outrage from the dog owner community in Ireland. We chat about this and hear some of your thoughts on the matter.

We also chat about a great day out at Dogfest in Cork yesterday where we got to chat to some wonderful business owners and try out some of the cool activities like Agility and dock diving. Hear all about our adventures down at the marina market for dogfest in cork this weekend.

Welcome to Season 4 of The Big Bark Canine Podcast

The Big Bark dog podcast is Irelands Number 1 dog related podcast. Each episode, Darragh and his trusty sidekick pups Bruno, Milly & Roxy bring you the latest news from the canine world with the biggest interviews with pet professionals.

It's a brand new season and We've been away for quite a while so this week Darragh explains what is to come on this season. First up, I introduce the rogue known as Roxy and give you just a brief insight into the crazy things she has got up to since she arrived, how she has brought life back to our home and how she is just absolutely crazy and full of life. I chat about the impact she has had on Bruno and Milly and I tell how Grey my hair has gone since she arrived.

Focusing on mental wellbeing and the benefits that our dogs have for our mental health, this season will see a much more academic and research based format. While still focusing on all the happy dog stories, we will be diving into how dogs help us, how we help them and how they help each other. This season, we will be chatting to more dog owners, more dog business owners, trainers, vets, nutritionists and other canine professionals. We not only want to know about what makes these people love dogs so much, we want to know how dogs help their wellbeing.

The best place to start by telling how dogs help our mental health and wellbeing is by telling you my own story. I chat about why it's taken so long for The Big Bark to come back on the air and talk about how my dogs were there for me during the most devastating time that I have ever gone through, how they helped me and my partner to get through tough times and how equally we helped them when they were coping with their own heartache and loss. The first time i've spoken publicly about the personal bond that I experience with my dogs and how they helped me with the loss of my brother.

With much more content coming straight from the hearts of owners and dogs alike, get ready for a season that may pull a few heartstrings but will help us all to connect with our canine partners on a much deeper level.

The Big Bark dog podcast is Irelands Number 1 dog related podcast. Once again, back for a brand new episode and Darragh and his trusty sidekick pups Bruno & Milly bring you the latest news from the canine world with the biggest interviews with pet professionals. So, yes! We are actually talking about Christmas this week. But its all good because we're talking about Christmas in terms of our 2022 Christmas charity fundraiser - I Believe in Santa Paws. This year we will be launching a charity Calendar, Charity Christmas cards and hosting a bumper raffle all to raise funds for 2 amazing animal charities - Limerick Animal Welfare & DSPCA. So tune in for all details on that.

Also coming up later today, we chat to Dr Ashleigh Bugler from Treaty vets about the free Dental checks on offer at the Limerick and Shannon clinics and we also chat Dr. Siobhan O Neill from the Treaty Vet team about Lumps and Bumps. Bruno recently had a lump removed by the team at Treaty Vets so we thought it would be a great idea to have the Treaty Vet team tell us about lumps and bumps and what to watch out for.

Dogs have their own uniqueness that make them not only be the most lovable pets but they also display their love for us on a daily basis. Finally we discuss how Fetchadate can be used to meet people in your area who share the same passion for pets as you do.

Today, we're back one at Treaty Veterinary clinic in Limerick to chat to John Garrahy once again, this time about everything you need to know about welcoming a new puppy to your family. From training to vaccinations, microchipping and pet insurance, its important to do your research when bringing home a new dog. In this episode, John touches on all the different things to watch out for, such as ensuring to meet the Mother of the pups as well as the sire and avoiding meeting potential breeders on the side of a road, something which has become a common trend in recent years. John also touches on different ailments and potential hereditary issues specific breeds may encounter while also chatting about how the rise in Crossbreeding can help to avoid these ailments, but yet with the rise in new breeds such as Cavachons and Cockapoos, breeds which already have their own issues, its possible to see an increase in more health issues down the road. John chats about how a dog is for life and how a dog is not a play toy for younger excited household members. All this and more to come on Part 2 of our special feature with Treaty Veterinary clinic.
