This week, we welcome back Dr. Ashleigh Bugler from Treaty Veterinary Clinic to our health hub - Dr. Bugler this week chats about Heatstroke in dogs, the symptoms, and what to do if you believe your dog has heat stroke.
We continue our in depth discussion into Puppies & Yoga Dublin, with some more shocking revelations into the disgraceful practices by the french business operating in more than 10 countries and how the CEO Henri Sagon continues to breach legislation in many of these countries - in Ireland, Henri Sagon's company is not only encouraging tax evasion in Ireland but also has failed to yet register as an operating entity with the Revenue commissioners or CRO for tax and revenue declaration purposes. The company is also breaching consumer rights following a sudden change in refund policy following our expose along with a systemic failure by Mr Sagons company to comply with vaccination protocols in Ireland.
We also bring you the details of the case of Veterinary inspector Michael O Reilly of Cork convicted and fined for animal neglect recently and banned for 7 years from keeping any dogs.

This week, we speak with Peter Smyth of Causey Farm about a great day out that is coming up on 25th and 26th of May - Dogitude Festival - This promises to be an entertaining day out for dogs and their owners and we hear about all the wonderful things happening over the weekend which are created as a safe and fun filled day with the dogs welfare in mind.
On the other side of the coin, we look at the practice of Puppy yoga which is fuelling the Puppy breeding industry by offering €1100 to breeders for their puppies to be utilised for Puppy yoga sessions from a new business based in Dublin. We hear from Aoife from My Lovely Horse rescue who recently did their own investigation by posing as a prospective breeder and the things that were unveiled are shocking.
We hear from the owner of Puppies & Yoga - Henri Sagon - a businessman from Paris France who operates Puppies & Yoga in 10 European cities and we hear first hand how this is lining the pockets of commercial puppy breeders in Ireland.

This week, we launched our brand new campaign around Consent and the importance of asking an owner if its ok to pet their dog. The campaign was launched in response to a new ISPCA campaign which solely puts the blame of dog bites to children on dog owners. While unprovoked attacks by dogs which are not under effective control are the responsibility of the dog owner, statistics show that most dog bites occur due to the behaviour of a child and in many cases adults also. This comes down to 3 issues.
1) Neither children or parents ask a dog owner for permission before rubbing or greeting a dog, and end up scaring that dog to the point where they are forced to retaliate and defend themselves by biting the child or adult.
2) Many people, both dog owners and non dog owners, fail to understand the body language - commonly known as calming signals that a dog displays to them, which in essence is telling said individual to back off and in the dogs words "leave me alone - I don't want you near me"
3) Hugging, close contact and being too rough with a dog - Dogs generally don't like to be hugged, particularly by strangers. Many dogs don't want to be hugged outright but children in particular fail to see this and their parents often blatantly ignore this due to the fact they think "its cute that theyre hugging". The reality is that if a dog does not want to be hugged, it will make them anxious by doing so and this anxiety if ignored will escalate ultimately to growling and eventually biting.
We also discuss Scoop the Poop week this week with Ciaran Sheehan from Mutt Mitts Ireland and the importance of picking up after your dog.

This week, we celebrated Roxy's birthday so today, we're chatting about birthday celebrations and how to have a safe and fun birthday. We chat about Why dog parents celebrate their dog's birthday and we also chat about good presents to buy your dogs, what Roxy's favourite pressies were and we also touch on the importance of not only giving the birthday dog some extra attention but also ensuring that, when you have a multi-dog household, all of your dogs are included in the celebrations too. We recap on Roxy's first year and in particular, the 9 months she has been with us.
No special guests today, so we also tell you what's to come on the show over the next few weeks.
