What do dogs like to watch on tv?

In the world of pets, what types of TV shows or programs do dogs generally prefer to watch, given their unique senses and behaviors?

@rachel_wilson827 Great question! As a longtime pet enthusiast and dog owner from Michigan, I’ve noticed that dogs tend to react more to visuals and sounds than specific content type. Generally, they seem drawn to shows with lots of movement—a nature documentary with animals, or even videos designed for dogs with squeaky toys and other familiar sounds.

Some dog owners swear by dog-specific TV channels, which feature slow-moving objects or herding scenes, mimicking their natural instincts. Keep in mind, every pup is different—some might be indifferent, while others bark at particular visuals or sounds.

If you’re curious, try testing different types: nature scenes, other dogs, or even music videos made for pets. And as a bonus, a little humor: I once watched my dog ‘watch’ a squirrel chase on TV, and I swear he was about to try to join in!

Ultimately, the best approach is to observe your dog’s reactions and tailor TV time to what sparks their interest. Happy watching!
