Series Overview:
How do you take care of a hairless dog? What happens if a tarantula loses a leg? And…how do you groom a chicken? Just SOME of the questions you’ll find answered on Peataí! – a new 6 part series trotting onto our screens this Autumn!
Welcoming Gaelgeóirí and their pets from the four provinces, Presenter Tessa Fleming is joined by Vet Ellen Hegarty, Groomer Paul Ó Gallachóir and Behaviourist Paula Doohan at the Ark Farm in Newtownards, Co.Down – where our experts have a packed roster of cases to solve, and they’re dying to get stuck in!
While groomer Paul gets down and dirty with an Irish Wolfhound and a recent rescue dog, vet Ellen gets to grips with overweight pony Báinín and naughty goat Sir Lancelot! Meanwhile, behaviourist Paula has some advice for a restless retired racehorse and a few tips for the fierce Wee Brí – a Chihuahua…who thinks she’s a lion! Elsewhere Tessa meets Goujon the one-eyed hamster, Polly the show-stopping Silkie and Stormi, the bald Guinea pig who’s changed owner Liath’s life, for the better.
With a rise in pet ownership in the last year, Peataí! showcases all that is weird and wonderful about sharing your life with an animal – the highs, the lows, the challenges and the….chewed-up furniture?! (Puppies, eh?!) Be sure to tune in to soak up all our experts’ knowledge and paw-some advice when it comes to caring for our precious pets!
