For Your Viewing Pleasure

When Animal Planet was first offered without an additional subscription in our cable package, I did nothing but watch the newly acquired channel. I loved "Emergency Vets," "Animal Face-Off" and "K-9 to 5," just to name a few.

Then, the programming seemed to shift focus to documentary-type shows. It was a while before I ever watched that channel again. Recently, however, I happened across Animal Planet again only to discover that they have several new shows that are quite enjoyable.
  • It's Me or The Dog: Dog trainer Victoria Stilwell visits homes where dog owners have sent out an S.O.S. She helps them learn why their dogs are misbehaving and then helps them retrain their pet into a picture of perfection.

  • Groomer Has It: Hosted by Jai Rodriguez from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, this show is a competition between groomers to test their knowledge and aptitude for the profession.

  • Petfinder: This show is focused on finding the right pet for the different needs of potential owners. The families get "Teachers' Pets" so they can, in a sense, test drive what it would be like own the pet they think they want. This show is based off of Petfinder.com.

These are just a few of the new options that Animal Planet is offering now as new programming. Hopefully, if you're looking for some fur-themed shows, you can find something to entertain you. Enjoy!

The titles of some of these shows are so ridiculous. K-9 to 5 and Groomer Has It? It seems like they consult a giant book of puns every time they develop a new show. That's some funny stuff.
