Man’s best friend gets own TV channel

Addicted already - Franklin watching DogTV!


Grab the ‘pupcorn', it’s called DogTV and according to the producers it's been developed following studies into animals' physiological and psychological needs, moods, and responses.

The channel which is already available in some other countries launched in the UK on Friday 5 November. It was created after three years of research into how television can help destress or provide relaxation for our four-legged friends. The channel will air scientifically tested programming aimed at alleviating symptoms of conditions such as separation anxiety, loneliness, and stress. It will also have shows to help owners better understand and look after their pets.

According to Professor Nicholas Dodman, chief scientist for DogTV,  “DogTV is an excellent resource for dog owners to help alleviate some of the behavioral problems that can arise when dogs are left alone.

“With numbers of dog owners rising over the pandemic, and owners now returning to work, DogTV helps canines to feel relaxed and comforted until their owners return home.”
