NOW THAT THE UK ’ S
DogsHAVE THEIR OWN TV CHANNEL …
… the only problem will be getting them to leave the house for walkies .
Words : Ryan Conway
THE UK ’ S 12 million dogs have got a new treat … their very own TV station .
DogTV launched in November with a mission to improve the lives of our favourite pets by helping take the stresses and fears out of their lives .
Canines can experience depression and PTSD and can suffer from separation anxiety when their owners are out of the house .
The channel called on the services of dog behavioural experts and used the results of more than 60 scientific studies to come up with the content .
You won ’ t find the schedules packed with the likes of ‘ Bojack Dogman ’, ‘ Footballers ’ Dogs ’ or ‘ RuPaul ’ s Dog Race UK ’ on this new channel .
Instead , it has content that canines of all ages will want to watch and listen to throughout the day .
Founder Ron Levi said : “ Normally with music and visual content , people try to do more to make it more interesting but with dogs , it ’ s the opposite .
