DOGTVReviews of dogtv.com

I have an annual subscription and my French Bulldog and I enjoy watching the videos and listening to the music, but even when you subscribe you still have to sit through a ridiculous number of the same exact commercials over and over again even when you’re scrolling through options to find something to watch. For example: If you’re watching a series of short (maybe two or three minutes) clips - you go through those same commercials after each clip. There isn’t enough content to justify the cost which is sad, because it seems like it would be easy enough to find talented dogs and cats in order to keep it interesting. I honestly have more fun scrolling through Instagram for free than I do with DogTV repeats. The customer service representatives are average at best. I’ve had to contact them twice (in the last six months), and they might as well not have a customer service department at all IMO. ANYWAY, I just cancelled my annual subscription six months early — because I already know I’m not going to renew it.

Some of the videos are clearly very well-designed and mindful of their category, but others are just.. not. I've only been playing DOGTV for my anxious Great Pyr, Goose, for a couple of days but I have already noticed that some of the imagery is very poorly animated (jerky, unnatural movements, appendages of people/dogs going through other objects). This doesn't seem to bother Goose, but the audio is a different story. The first sleep-specific video we watched (called "Bedtime") had an awful ringing noise in the background that I found pretty annoying and seemed to make Goose a little restless as well. I wanted to stick it out and see if his restlessness was unrelated, but that same video then added in what sounded like a distant fire alarm! Literally a repeated blaring, buzzing, alarm. Why?? Goose had started to settle down but jerked his head up and looked at the TV with pinned ears and fearful body language. No thank you. Other relaxation and sleep-encouraging videos seem okay so far. He responds very well to the "Slumber" episode! I'll stick it out for now, but I'm not a fan of needing to review content for triggering sounds.

Honestly everything was really good there was lots of really good content and ideas of what to do for my dog but my poor things literally have separation anxiety due to abuse as they were rescue animals and there isn't much that helped them from the app. They were good of a lot of content on there.

I've been a DOGTV customer/subscriber for two months. Overall, I give them three stars because their content needs improvement. For example, some of the relaxation videos contain more stimulating music than relaxing. As a dancer, I enjoy some of the music to the pointe of wanting to choreograph to it. However, I think they need to scour their content and have some non-employees (dancers) watch some content to give their feedback on whether certain music is relaxing or stimulating. Also, I would like to be able to stream dog tv from my phone to my car. For some reason it won't play into my Android Auto. Also, I have yet to receive my digital DogTV ID tag for my puppies as well as other merchandise I ordered and payed for.
