Did you know there’s a dog TV channel in Germany?These are not dogs, but dogs. It is called DogTV and on the day of its release, it was estimated that about seven million dogs were likely to be attracted to programming made specifically for them.
According to Nicholas Dodman, professor of veterinary medicine at Tufts University in the US.The goal of the chain was to alleviate the discomfort the animal can feel when it is alone at home.

The answer to that question is yes and no. Dogs and cats have different eyes than our own, are more accurate and capture movement better than the human eye.This difference is what motivates when we talk about television.
Television are images that occur at a very high speed, this speed is the one that deceives our vision and gives the impression that we see movement, so that the human perceives this feeling of movement, the images must go at a speed of 40 Hz (images per second) On the other hand, animals need a succession speed of at least 75 Hz.
A normal modern TV reaches 300 hz (some reach 1000 hz), but old TVs reach 50 hz Can you imagine how annoying it must be for your pet to watch TV and watch a slow succession of images?It’s normal that they don’t pay attention to themselves.
Another factor that influences dogs to watch TV is the height they meet, TVs are always placed so that they are up to the eye when they are sitting, it would be very uncomfortable for your pet to have to look up all day.
Have you ever been to the forefront of a movie theater?If that’s the case, you know what I’m talking about.
It is normal that they are not interested because programming is not for them, many owners make sure that their pets react when they see a dog on television, on the contrary, in front of a drawing or a static image of a dog, they do not pay attention.They can see the difference.
It must have the following characteristics
According to DogTv officials, dogs can not only entertain themselves by watching television, but also benefit them.They have three types of content: relaxing, stimulating and enhancing behavior.
The channel says that a dog will reduce separation anxiety when he sees the relaxing content, stimulants are used to stimulate and develop the spirit of the animal, finally we have the boosters.
DogTv officials give the following example: a dog that sees other dogs on TV chasing a ball will increase its own learning in the game with the ball.
