Dog TV is the first television network that is made specifically for dogs. The network was founded in equal parts by Ron Levi and Guy Martinovsky, its first CEO, which sold his shares in the company. Dog TV provides 24/7 digital TV programming that is designed to provide entertainment for dogs. The programming, created with the help of dog behavior specialists, is color-adjusted to appeal to dogs, and features 3-6 minute segments designed to relax, to stimulate, and to expose the dog to scenes of everyday life such as doorbells or riding in a vehicle. The channel's proponents have indicated positive reviews from a humane society shelter in Escondido, California.[1]

Dog TV was first only provided on Cox Cable and Time Warner Cable in the San Diego area in February 2012. On August 1, 2013, DirecTV started broadcasting Dog TV on channel 354 at 6am ET. The channel has a monthly subscription cost of $4.99.[2]
