Pete the Vet answers your pet questions

18th August 2026

It’s time for our weekly catch-up with Pete the Vet, answering your questions about keeping our four-legged friends happy and healthy. And with August bringing plenty of outdoor adventures, long grass and changing weather, we’ve got three very different listener questions for Pete today. 

  1. Sarah in Wexford: “Pete, my dog is constantly licking his paws after walking. What’s the problem?” 
  1. Mark in Galway: “My cat has started scratching a lot more lately. Could it be fleas, I checked but i don’t see anything” 
  1. Adelaide in Cork “Pete, my dog loves chasing bees and wasps in the garden! If he gets stung, how worried should I be, and when does it become an emergency?”
