Does Your Dog Watch TV?

Hi! I think there is a better explanation given at hashout (link given below). It means to say that a dog's brain is able to process what it sees at a much slower rate such that it sees only flickering images on the screen rather than seeing them in a continuous fashion as we see. That is why they seem to be less interested in the movements happening on the TV, except when they find some interesting images.

My 13 yr old, female Standard American Eskimo doesn't care for the TV, even if dogs bark or a door bell rings on the show. Neither have my past dogs either.

When I first got my dog Tex, he was nine months old. he watched Tv alll the time. Usually what I saw him watching was that commercial for the toe nail fungus medicine. It was the one that the little fungus guy moves under the toe nail and invites his friends. He is four years old now and he dosen't really watch TV any more. My dog Bert, however, does watch TV sometimes if their are bright colors and a lot of action. Although dogs see black and white I think he can see the screen better if the colors aren't dark. On the other hand cats watch Tv all the time.
