A dead rat in the garden might seem harmless - but it could be one of the more serious things your dog encounters.

If a rat has been poisoned and your dog eats it, the poison does not simply disappear. Secondary poisoning is a real risk, and it sends the clinical team down a very different route in terms of treatment. Hannah and Molly, registered veterinary nurses and managers at Village Vets Ashbourne, still see rat poisoning cases regularly - and fox encounters with outdoor cats are more common than most people realise too, particularly in rural areas.

They cover wildlife hazards and more in the new episode of Tuesday Talks with Ruby Reese - “Emergency Vet Care” - available wherever you listen to podcasts and via the link in bio.

The advice going around online that dogs do not need vaccines after a certain age is not just wrong - it can be genuinely dangerous.

Leptospirosis is a serious and often fatal disease that is transmitted through rat urine in puddles and standing water. It can also be passed to humans. Hannah and Molly, registered veterinary nurses and managers at Village Vets Ashbourne, are seeing a significant increase in lepto cases - and the vast majority are in unvaccinated dogs. Your dog is never too old to be vaccinated, and if you have concerns, the right person to ask is your vet - not a Facebook group.

Hannah and Molly cover this and other common misconceptions in the new episode of Tuesday Talks with Ruby Reese - “Emergency Vet Care” - available wherever you listen to podcasts and via the link in bio.

Do you actually know what to do if your dog needs emergency care in the middle of the night?

In Ireland, you have two main options. There are dedicated 24-hour hospitals with staff on site around the clock - including Village Vets Ashbourne, Dundrum and Grey Abbey, as well as other specialist emergency centres across the country. Then there are GP practices that run their own out-of-hours service, with a vet on call who will either come in or direct you to the nearest 24-hour hospital if needed. Knowing which option is closest to you before an emergency happens could make a real difference.

Hannah and Molly, registered veterinary nurses and managers at Village Vets Ashbourne, walk through how it all works in the new episode of Tuesday Talks with Ruby Reese - “Emergency Vet Care” - available wherever you listen to podcasts and via the link in bio.

Emergency vet teams have seen it all - and some cases are as stressful as they are unforgettable.

Hannah and Molly, registered veterinary nurses and managers at Village Vets Ashbourne, share a couple of the more unusual ones - including a dog and cat who both ended up in the same situation after a chain of events nobody saw coming, and a pet that was accidentally fed a topical flea treatment instead of having it applied to the back of the neck. That last one, they say, happens more often than you would think.

If there is one takeaway, it is to always read the label and keep anything medicinal well out of reach. More from Hannah and Molly in the new episode of Tuesday Talks with Ruby Reese - “Emergency Vet Care” - available wherever you listen to podcasts and via the link in bio.

Halloween and Christmas are two of the busiest times of year for emergency vet care - and a lot of it comes down to what is sitting around the house.

Chocolate, raisins, xylitol in chewing gum and some peanut butters, onions, apple seeds, alcohol - dogs are far less fussy than we are, and far more vulnerable to the things we barely think twice about. Hannah and Molly, registered veterinary nurses and managers at Village Vets Ashbourne, see these cases regularly, and the list of household hazards is longer than most owners realise.

They cover what to watch out for and what to do in the new episode of Tuesday Talks with Ruby Reese - “Emergency Vet Care” - available wherever you listen to podcasts and via the link in bio.

Beach walks are one of the great joys of having a dog in Ireland - but jellyfish season is worth knowing about.

If you spot jellyfish washed up on the shore, keeping your dog on a lead is the safest call. Most county councils will post notices about what species are present, and a quick look before you head down to the water can save a very unpleasant trip to the vet. Hannah and Molly, registered veterinary nurses and managers at Village Vets Ashbourne, have seen what happens when a dog gets a little too curious.

It is not just dogs and cats. From goldfish to reptiles to turtles, if it lives in your home, Pawprints Cremation can help.

Whatever the pet, the approach is the same - finding something unique to that individual animal to create a memory keepsake. For a turtle, that might mean a shell imprint pressed into clay. It is a small detail, but it is the kind of thought that makes all the difference when you are grieving a pet that others might not fully understand.

Glen Patten, founder of Pawprints Cremation, shares more in the new episode of Tuesday Talks with Ruby Reese - “Pet Cremation” - available wherever you listen to podcasts and via the link in bio.

If there is one question Glen Patten gets asked more than any other, it is this: how do I really know it was individual?

The short answer is that there is no practical benefit to doing it any other way - and the longer answer involves twice-yearly inspections from the Department of Agriculture, full temperature records, and a traceability system that logs every pet from arrival to the return of ashes. At Pawprints Cremation, the accountability is built in at every stage.

Glen talks through the licensing and inspection process in full in the new episode of Tuesday Talks with Ruby Reese - “Pet Cremation” - available wherever you listen to podcasts and via the link in bio.

It feels wrong to think about it while your pet is still here. But the people who do are often the ones who find it a little easier when the time comes.

Researching cremation, asking your vet which provider they use, understanding the process - none of that means you are giving up on your pet. It means you are looking out for them right to the end, and sparing yourself one more overwhelming decision at an already impossible moment.

Glen Patten, founder of Pawprints Cremation, talks through how to prepare and what to look for in the new episode of Tuesday Talks with Ruby Reese - “Pet Cremation” - available wherever you listen to podcasts and via the link in bio.

When you hand over the care of your pet at the hardest moment, you need to know they are in good hands.

Glen Patten, founder of Pawprints Cremation, has a simple principle he asks every member of his team to hold onto: do a cremation as if the owner is standing right beside you. It is a straightforward idea, but it says everything about the level of care and dignity that goes into every individual cremation at Pawprints.

Glen talks through his approach in the new episode of Tuesday Talks with Ruby Reese - “Pet Cremation” - available wherever you listen to podcasts and via the link in bio.
