How is “feadóg” pronounced?
Thanks in advance. 
Well, some say feadog, and others say feadog. Myself and a few, just say feadog. 
On the second post down on the page below, walrii shows an email from the Feadog whistle company about how they say the word.

i say dog fleas hj
Okay. So it’s “Fahdohg”! 
Thanks!
THAT’s HOW I PRONOUNCE IT!!! 
Just think of a doomed dog, as in a fey dog.
Philo
Fa-dogue
Fa as in Famine or Family
Dogue. The “do” is like in “do a deer a female deer”
The emphasis is on the second syllable.
Feadog means whistle.
Is it pronounced differently in different parts of Ireland?
The gentleman at the Feadog company surely would be Irish, but his pronunciation differs from the one you’ve given. Your pronunciation is the same as was taught me by the wholesaler I buy Feadog whistles from, who’s an Irish expat living here in the U.S.

Typically the emphasis is on the first syllable, even though the second syllable contains a long vowel (at least in Ulster…the Ulster dialect being what I’m learning).
FA-dohg (where the “fa” is like the vowel sound in “fat” and the “oh” is like the vowel sound in “coke.”)
There are definitely different pronunciations of just about any word in different parts of Ireland. It most definitely ISN’T “FEY-dog” though. In some areas they will stress the second syllable, or will pronounce the first syllable “FYA” (again with the “a” as in “fat”).
Bear in mind that not everyone from Ireland speaks Irish, despite the fact that it’s taught in schools, so your man may not be saying the word correctly even if he IS Irish.

Paul McCarron, the man who answered the email, said he was from Donegal and his colleague was from Dublin. They each, apparently, had a somewhat different way of pronouncing the word.
I say Fathog. I don’t do those pronounciation letters so I can’t explain better, but then I’m not Irish, and I never say it in public. So I’m fine. Settle with Fathog!
There used to be different ways of pronouning words from place to place. I say “used to be” because Irish is close to being dead. in the 70’s I worked with a Donegal native who learned English in school, but that’s very rare today.
Over most of the country there was a tendency to emphasize the second syllable on most double syllable words, more so than English anyway. That has caried over into English that is spoken by the Irish. I had a hard time adjusting to Maur-EEN rather than the Irish MAUR-een, etc.
I used to be very fluent in Irish and I would have pronounced it F’dogue, with the “dogue” rhyming with “rogue”, but with a stretched out vowel sound (common with the Irish) and the “d” spoken with my tongue flat against my the back of my upper teeth, almost like a “th” in the english “That” but without the hiss.
Keep in mind that two texans will pronouncer “tea” differently, so it’s almost impossible to definitively nail these things down.
