If you're a dog parent, you know how hard it can be to find shows that you can watch together with your furry friend. Luckily, there are plenty of dog-friendly shows on Netflix and other streaming platforms.
One of the most popular dog-friendly shows on Netflix is "Paw Patrol", which features a team of rescue dogs on exciting adventures. This show is perfect for kids and dog lovers alike.
Some of the other dog-friendly shows on Netflix include "The Last Dog" and "Dog with a Blog", both of which feature dogs as main characters.

TV and Dogs
Regular TV isn't designed for dogs, so they might not enjoy watching it. Dogs see the world in different colours than humans, with only two colour receptors, so they don't see red or green.
DOGTV, on the other hand, is specifically designed for dogs. The content is shot from a dog's point of view, with a GoPro cam on the dog, and the colours are tailored to help dogs see the visual image better.
Dogs love seeing other dogs and animals on screen, which is why DOGTV features lots of dogs running around, playing, and having a good time. They also enjoy rapidly moving objects and animations.
A study by Oxford University and DOGTV found that 72% of dogs felt very sleepy and relaxed by the soothing music on DOGTV. The soundtrack includes positive affirmations, sound frequencies, and relaxing music to help dogs feel calm and relaxed.
Not all dogs enjoy DOGTV, however. Some dogs might get irritated by seeing other dogs on TV, so it's not recommended for dogs that will bark all day.
Dog Behavior on TV
Dogs show much more interest in DOGTV than in regular TV. It's not uncommon to see them glued to the screen, enjoying the content.
However, not all dogs react the same to visual content on TV. Some may not like seeing other dogs in "their house" on TV, leading to barking or irritation.
The majority of dogs, though, are happy and more relaxed by the channel.

What Dogs Find Appealing
Dogs love seeing other dogs and other animals on screen, which is why DOGTV features lots of dogs running around, playing, fetching, swimming, sniffing, and having a good time.
We've learned this from an Oxford University study and from our own experience with the channel, which has been around for seven-plus years.
Dogs are very sensitive to motion, so DOGTV's content includes rapidly moving objects and animations to keep them engaged.
The soundtrack on DOGTV includes a rich sound design that allows the home alone dog to "taste the outside world" through sound, as well as positive affirmations and relaxing music to help them feel calm and relaxed.
In fact, 72 percent of dogs felt very sleepy and relaxed by the soothing music on DOGTV.
Here are some examples of what dogs find appealing on DOGTV:
- Other dogs and animals on screen
- Rapidly moving objects and animations
- Kids playing and adults running with their dogs
- Positive affirmations (e.g. "good dog", "don't be afraid")
- Relaxing music and sound frequencies (e.g. healing tones)
