Television bosses are calling DOGTV a new breed of programming—an on-demand cable TV channel designed to keep your dog relaxed， stimulated and entertained while you are at work.

Two months after it debuted on local networks in California， the canine cable channel has now launched online and is headed for national distribution， according to the channel’s executives.

Known as DOGTV， the channel offers a promise to our beloved best friends that they should never again feel lonely.

The advertising-free programming is aimed at stay-at-home dogs whose out-to-work masters fret about the separation anxiety their pets suffer， and the trouble they get into， when left unattended for long stretches of time.

Billed as the first channel of its kind， DOGTV made its premiere in February as a free， around-the-clock offering carried by cable in San Diego， reaching some 483，000 homes in California’s second-largest city.

The content is scientifically tailored for four-legged audiences， with even the sound， colours and camera angles adjusted to make them more appealing to canines according to the channel’s website.

Fancy effects aside， the star turning on DOGTV are dogs.

“They love watching other dogs being active on the screen，” said Beke Lubeach， head of marketing for DOGTV， adding that birds， monkeys and zebras have proven popular as well.
