The Big Bark dog podcast sponsored by Mutt Mitts Ireland 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. The Big Bark is back again this week - and today we're chatting all about the Dog days of Summer, the preparations needed when going on your holidays as well as the hazards of Summer. We welcome Samantha Rawson back to the show this week to chat about holiday preparations, what you need to remember if you're taking your dog abroad and in particular what you need to do if travelling to the UK - something which has changed a lot since Brexit. With the very high growth of grass this summer due to the constant downpours, we chat with Dr. Ashleigh Bugler of Treaty Vets about the parasites dogs can pick up outdoors such as your pesky mites, fleas and ticks and internal parasites like worms, how to prevent them and how to treat them. We have no mental health segment this week but we will have this back again next week. All this and more on this week's episode of The Big Bark podcast - bringing all the canine stories to you.
