Pete the Vet answers your Questions
4th June 2026
Pete is back in studio answering your pet questions
Mary from Galway asks:”My 8-year-old Labrador has started slowing down on our walks and seems a bit stiff when getting up after resting. Is this just part of getting older, or should I be concerned about arthritis?”
Declan from Cork asks:”We recently adopted a rescue cat, and she spends most of her time hiding under the sofa. She’s eating and using the litter tray, but we’re worried she’s unhappy. How long does it usually take for a rescue cat to settle into a new home?”
Siobhán from Kilkenny asks:”My cockapoo, Teddy, insists on carrying a potato around the garden every day. He doesn’t chew it or eat it—he just proudly parades around with it before hiding it in a different spot. Is this normal dog behaviour, or have I got Ireland’s first potato-farming dog?”
