Efficiency of Dog TV For the dogs those are left home alone, DOGTV is created to comfort their loneliness and to make them happy. Through years of research, special content was created to meet specific attributes of a dog’s sense of vision and hearing and supports their natural behavior patterns. The result: a confident, happy dog, who's less likely to develop stress, separation anxiety or other related problems.” The product pitch refers to lots of research -- research that is not referenced or provided on their website — that this particular product can enhance dog well-being. DOGTV provides stimuli of the visual and auditory kind (obviously not olfactory or tactile as DOGTV can’t be smelled and dogs can’t — or shouldn’t — chew on the television). DOGTV provides dogs with three categories of content: “Relaxation,” “Stimulation” or “Exposure.” On their website, DOGTV provides a quote from the Petcare and Information Advisory service: “A television can provide all important mental stimulation for dogs and help prevent boredom behaviour.”
