As temperatures continue to rise across Ireland, one vet has warned dog owners that five breeds are at higher risk of suffering from heat stroke.

She said: "With much of the country enjoying some sunny weather over the next few days and weekend, it's more important than ever that dog owners are aware of the dangers of hot weather for their pooches.
