DOGTV: A Great Way to Help Dogs That Are Home Alone All Day

We spend most of our days working, so it only makes sense that most of our dogs spend an almost equal amount of time alone. Whether you continue to be away for extended periods during the pandemic, or your dog was used to you being home all day and now you are going back into the office, your dog can get bored or stressed, which is when problems arise. Some are physical from laying around too long, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or joint problems. If your dog gets stressed he could start licking himself, causing sores. Dogs can also become destructive by tearing up items. If left alone too often for too long, dogs can even have decreased social skills with both humans and other dogs.

DOGTV is a channel developed specifically for dogs by leading dog behaviorists and experts. There are three categories involved:

• Relaxation: for calming dogs, allowing relaxation and rest, and reducing stress
• Stimulation: for keeping your dog mentally and physically active even when left alone
• Exposure: for making your dog feel more comfortable by providing familiar sights and sounds

The programming provides a daily rhythm for your dog, being relaxing at times and stimulating at others. This channel uses up-to-date research on canine sight, hearing, and behavior to provide your dog with the best programming and scheduling.

Separation anxiety is one of the leading causes of euthanasia in dogs. They can become destructive, have accidents, and even end up harming themselves. This can be both stressful and expensive for owners. If your dog has separation anxiety, consider checking out DOGTV. It could be beneficial for a dog who feels alone to feel interacted with and calmed.

Do not stop any medication without consulting your veterinarian first. Although DOGTV may help with some dog’s issues, it is important to continue the medication unless your vet says otherwise.
