Calm TV for
home-alone dogs.
Channels of slow, gentle footage for the hours you’re away. Open Dozehound in any browser, press one button on your way out, and it keeps playing until you’re back.
Plays in any browser. No account, no card, no sign-up screen — which is the fastest way to check every promise on this page.
A promise you can check yourself
Most dog TV is a playlist with ads and surprises in it. Dozehound makes three guarantees you can verify in the first five minutes.
Nothing startles
No sudden cuts, no flashes, nothing that lurches across the frame. Every hour is checked before it goes on the air, and anything that came from somewhere else is watched by a person first.
No ads, ever
Nothing interrupts the calm — no pre-roll, no banners, and no jingle at double volume while nobody is home.
Instant on
It opens straight into playback. No menus, no profiles, no loading screen between your dog and the calm.
Every channel plays with sound — slow piano, rain on the glass, wind in the grass, quiet strings — composed in-house as loops that never lurch, so nothing in it can bark, ring a doorbell or crack with thunder.
Every channel, tuned for dog eyes
Dogs see blues and yellows best — so every scene is graded in the colours they actually see, then paced slow enough to doze to.
A room going quiet: embers, a lamp, the moon over the roofs. The leaving-for-the-evening default.
Hills under a whole day, and the weather that crosses them.
One window, every weather. Rain most nights.
Almost nothing to look at. For the room, not the screen.
One press on your way out
The first button on the remote is Leaving Home. It lands on the calm channel without you navigating anything, and starts gently rather than snapping on — so the house never goes from quiet to loud, and leaving never sounds like a bang.
Up and running before your coat’s on

Open Dozehound in your browser
It opens straight into a playing channel. No setup, and no account at all. The Apple TV app will open the same way when it lands.
-
Pick a channel — or just leave
Flip between channels on screen — or with the remote, once the Apple TV app lands — or press Leaving Home on your way out the door. Rotation changes daily, because dogs tune out reruns faster than we do.
-
Signing in? Link from your phone
Your TV shows a six-character code. Type it at dozehound.com/link and that television signs itself in — no password typed with a remote. Nothing is locked behind it; it is how your TVs know whose they are.
Every channel is free
No tiers, no trial, no card — free until further notice. If that ever changes, this is the section that will say so, before anything asks you for anything.
- Every channel — Naptime, Meadow, Window Seat and Quiet Hours
- Leaving Home mode, with the gentle start
- Fresh clips as they land — the rotation never goes stale
- No account, no card, no ads
An account is worth having all the same — it is how your televisions sign themselves in. It has never been what unlocks a channel, and now there is nothing it could unlock.
Questions people actually ask
Do I need an account?
No. Every channel plays with no account, no card and no sign-up screen — open it and it is already going, on the TV or in a browser. An account exists only so your televisions can sign themselves in and know whose they are; nothing is behind it.
Is there sound?
Yes. Every channel plays with sound — slow piano, rain on the glass, wind in the grass, quiet strings — composed in-house as loops that never lurch, so nothing in it can bark, ring a doorbell or crack with thunder. An unexpected bark or doorbell in the audio is exactly what the whole product exists to avoid, and a loop written here rather than recorded somewhere is how we keep one out.
Does it treat separation anxiety?
No, and be wary of anyone who says otherwise. No TV channel has ever been shown to treat separation anxiety, ours included. Dozehound does one modest thing well: it keeps the room looking gentle while you are out. It does not replace walks, training or company.
Does it work without internet?
No — it streams rather than downloading, so the TV needs its usual connection. If a channel will not start, that is the first thing to check.
Which TVs does it run on?
Apple TV first, and that build is on its way. In the meantime every channel plays in any browser, with no account — that is the whole thing, not a preview of it. Other living-room platforms are being built against the same service, but nothing gets listed here until it has run on the real hardware.
Who decides what goes on the channels?
Two things, and both bind. An automated gate measures every clip before it can be published and refuses anything with a jump cut, a luminance jolt or a startling movement. And anything that came from somewhere else — any recording that is not ours — is watched all the way through by a person first, because there the question is whether a trigger is buried in it, and no machine here is asking that yet.
What does it cost?
Nothing. Every channel is free until further notice — no tier, no trial, no card and nothing to cancel. Dozehound has never charged anyone, so there is no older subscription anywhere to end and no refund anyone is owed. If a paid feature is ever introduced it will be announced here first, before anything asks you for anything.
What it isn’t
Dozehound doesn’t replace walks, training, or company, and we won’t pretend a TV channel treats separation anxiety — nobody’s has been proven to, ours included. It does one modest thing well: it keeps the room looking gentle while you’re out.
