Pamper Your Pup on National Dog Day with DOGTV

This year’s National Dog Day (August 26) is particularly special for pet parents. For over a year we’ve been relying on Fido for comfort and companionship during the COVID-19 pandemic. With more people than ever going the extra mile to pamper their pups to celebrate the holiday (and to celebrate their doggos year round), we’d like to introduce you to DOGTV. DOGTV is the first-ever cable channel and streaming service designed specifically for dogs. It’s the pawfect service for pet parents who need to keep their pup calm while they’re out of the house. Or entertained when they don’t have time for fetch.

Introducing DOGTV

With a “rabid” fanbase of over 2 million dogs and pet parents, including avid dog-lovers Sarah Silverman, Jane Lynch, Carole Bayer Sager, Billy Bob Thornton, and more, DOGTV is based on over 60 scientific studies and years of research by some of the world’s top animal researchers, scientists, veterinarians, dog behaviorists, and trainers. Using their patented content methods, DOGTV’s programming centers around pet relaxation, stimulation, and enrichment that meet specific attributes of a dog’s finely tuned senses while supporting their natural behavior patterns. It’s no wonder so many pups are obsessed!

Since its launch in 2011, DOGTV has had one key mission. To improve the lives of dogs and their parents through a highly accessible 24/7 channel with fun programs that are scientifically supported, research-led, and expert-approved for canine enrichment. In addition to its content for dogs, DOGTV provides just as much educational programming for the people who love them. Today, millions of pet parents worldwide rely on DOGTV daily.

Dog Owners Give Positive Feedback

Here are just a few examples of what dog owners have been raving about:

• DOGTV “is the best puppy sitter” and it “gets our dog through the day while we are at work”. From desensitizing them to trigger sounds like doorbells and fireworks, to improving socialization and separation anxiety, to simply providing them with virtual companions, the programming helps animals become their most “excited and interested” selves — some even try to chase the ball through the television as they watch!
• One owner, who is deaf, credited DOGTV for providing her pup with “sounds he can sing to, dogs he can woof at — sometimes telling them off for not staying or walking but not at heel.”
• “Our sweet puppy has been addicted for over a year now.”
• “Our dog goes on our bed every night watching her friends on DOGTV and puts herself to sleep”. After all, who doesn’t love ending the night with their favorite show?
