Have you ever seen your dog watching TV and wondered if they enjoy it?
According to a report from an Australian Veterinary Journal, 35% of pet owners leave the TV or radio on while they are away during the day. But so many keep asking the question, ‘can dogs really watch TV or listen to the radio?’ It seems that dogs process televisions and screens differently than we do, but strangely enough, they do recognize what they are seeing and hearing. Some dogs couldn’t be bothered to watch TV, but, in other cases, pet owners report that their dogs are enthralled by what they see on the screen.
You won’t be surprised to learn that dogs pay most attention when they see other dogs on a TV screen. Animals are naturally drawn to their own species. A recent AKC study reports that dogs recognize what they see on screen and they prefer to watch other canines.
There has been such an interest globally, that DogTV has become an international success. It is available via satellite, streaming and other channels. DogTV offers 24/7 programming to keep your pet(s) entertained while you are not at home. DOGTV’s subscription-based channel “organizes programing into 3 to 6 minutes of relaxing, stimulating and behavior-improving segments that work collaboratively.” Check it out for yourself.
