Part of my routine when I leave my pets home alone is to leave the television on or some music playing for them while I am gone. I often get poked fun at by my family and friends for doing it, but I firmly believe my pets do better with a bit of background noise when all the people leave the house. One of my colleagues recently brought this subject up after getting a new dog and asked all of us if we keep the TV on or play music for our dogs when we leave home, it was surprising. About a third of us do, and the others don’t.
My dogs often seem to be watching my shows with me; I have seen their eyes follow along, their heads move, and even see them jump around when another dog or animal is on the screen. But are they really watching? Does leaving the TV on when I leave make any difference? I decided to take a closer look at the idea of dogs watching TV. Should dogs watch TV? Are there shows made just for dogs? How do owners entertain their pets when they are away? Sit back, and I’ll share with you the top shows and music I found to leave on for your pet when you are away.
