How Watching TV Brings Comfort To Our Pets

It's not uncommon for pet parents to leave the television on for their furry friends while they're away from home. Some believe that the sound of human voices coming from the television can provide comfort to pets who are used to having their humans around.

Others think that the moving images on the screen can help keep their pet's mind active and engaged. There is no scientific evidence to support either of these claims, but many pet parents swear by the benefits of leaving the television on for their four-legged friends.

If you're considering doing this for your pet, there are a few things to keep in mind.

First, consider your pet's personality. If your pet is shy or easily startled, the constant movement and noise from the television may not be the best option.

Second, make sure that the volume is not too loud. You don't want to startle your pet or cause them any anxiety.

If you do decide to leave the television on for your pet, there are a few things you can do to make it more comfortable for them.

Put the television on a low volume and consider using a calming show or station that won't have too many loud noises or fast-moving images. You can also put the television on a timer so it turns off after a certain amount of time.

Ultimately, whether or not you leave the television on for your pet is up to you. If you think it will help them feel more comfortable, give it a try. Just be sure to monitor them closely to make sure they're not getting too stressed out.
