DOGTV Networks has launched the FAST channel Unleashed by DOGTV on Amazon’s Fire TV in the U.S. and Tugo TV in the U.S. and Canada.
Unlike the company’s DOGTV service, which is focused on providing science-backed on-demand content for dogs to watch to help relieve boredom and separation anxiety, the new channel provides a wide variety of content for dog owners and lovers. Talent featured on Unleashed by DOGTV includes celebrity trainers Chrissy Joy and Victoria Stilwell, veterinarians Dr. Courtney Campbell and Dr. Ross Henderson and many more.
Others featured on the channel include Kevyn Matthews, aka The Dog Chef, and celebrity dog lovers such as Billy Bob Thornton.
New productions created for Unleashed by DOGTV include DOGSTAR, a showcase of funny home videos submitted by viewers; The Adoption Show, profiling dogs that are up for adoption in hundreds of shelters across the U.S., updated weekly; and Pets Add Life, a video podcast hosted by Kristen Levine and Chris Bonifati.
More than 250 hours of programming are available at launch, with new titles created by DOGTV Networks to be added every week. Movies are regularly acquired through an ongoing relationship with Filmhub.
In addition to being available as a FAST channel via Fire TV and Tugo TV, Unleashed by DOGTV is also available as a YouTube channel.
“After more than ten years of DOGTV and getting to know this market and its loyal audience better than anyone, the time felt right to reveal a new corporate banner with DOGTV Networks and share our intentions to expand our business, starting with Unleashed by DOGTV,” said Beke Lubeach, CEO at DOGTV Networks. “We are incredibly excited to begin this new FAST channel and AVOD offering’s journey, and we hope it will quickly have a global pawprint across numerous platforms and be readily available to dog lovers all over the world.
“Dogs have such a unique place in our hearts and, without a doubt, must be one of the most significant and popular niche interest areas–making them a perfect topic for our fast-moving content world and digital distribution. With a ready-made, dedicated global audience and a booming interest in pet wellness, coupled with our wide-ranging expert-led and exclusive programming, Unleashed by DOGTV will prove not only the perfect destination for dog lovers but also a compelling prospect for sponsors, advertisers and other potential partners.”
