In this week's podcast, Pete discusses the dangers of dogs stealing and eating chocolate and the dangers of cats getting the pollen from lilies on their fur and then licking it off and being poisoned.
This week, Pete answers a question about a mature housetrained dog who suddenly begins soiling in the house. Then they go on to talk about Valentines Day with your dog.
This week, we discussed why Santa is reluctant to give pets as presents. Also, Pete told us about a Christmas crisis that he had to cope with the evening before.
In this week's podcast, we discussed mange and dry skin in dogs. What a dog eats has an impact on the dogs skin condition. If a dog has a good diet, then a dog will have a healthy shiny coat.
It's common to find hedgehogs out and about at this time of year. If you find one, should you rescue it, or leave it to its own devices. Listen to this podcast to find out.
Pete discusses how we can help keep our pets safer over the dark winter months. He recommends putting reflective collars on our cats and using a lead with a neon strip running along it for our dogs.

About Pete the Vet's Podcast
From the publisher's feed
I am a veterinary surgeon with a passion for communicating my love of my work through writing, radio, television and the internet. My mission is to use the media to act as an advocate on behalf of animals.
I work in a busy 5 vet practice in Bray, Co Wicklow, Ireland, but I spend 50% of my working week on media work.
I've been broadcasting a weekly "vet spot" on my local radio station, East Coast FM, for the past thirty years, and I'm delighted, through Soundcloud, to now make this weekly animal-related discussion available globally as a podcast.
