Is Man’s Best Friend a Good TV Companion?

It’s Friday night and time to catch up on your favorite fall season episodes. You pour yourself a glass of wine, make a bucket of popcorn, and let the week come to a satisfying finish.

As you look over, you see your furry companion ready to join you, excited to see what happens next.

Is this a shared guilty pleasure or just a coincidence?

Here is what the research says:

Your dog’s vision has an impact on their experience. With fewer color-sensing cones in their retinas, they see within blue and yellow spectrums of light.
Every dog is unique; your dog’s personality dictates their interest.
The quality of your TV screen makes a difference. High definition television is better for dogs because they are more sensitive to movement.
Dogs are drawn to dogs and dog noises, from barking to the squeaking of their favorite toys.

So grab your furry companion a treat and cuddle up to savor the weekend together.
