Can Dogs Actually Watch TV?

Many dog owners have witnessed their pups staring at the television sometimes and even reacting to certain things that pop up on the screen. But what exactly do they see when looking at the TV?

Dog eyes are different than human eyes. Their vision isn’t quite as sharp, and they don’t have the same color-processing cells in their retinas. They can only see blues, greens, and yellows. So, depending on what the visuals are on TV, your dog might just not be interested.

It’s hard to know exactly what dogs are thinking, but there are definitely some sounds and pictures that get their attention. If doorbells or dogs are barking on the screen, you might notice them perk up and pay attention. Dogs rely on their other senses to process things. TVs don’t have smells, so your pup is likely not processing it like that would an actual person or animal.

If you want to see how your dog responds to TV, put on something your dog is attracted to in real life. Watch your pup’s reaction to see if they are wagging their tail and interested. If you notice any signs of stress, it’s best to avoid this activity in the future. Hopefully, you won't have to fight over the remote.

Toilet Paper Making a Pawsitive Impact

Every 24 hours, 27,000 trees are cut down to make toilet paper. To us, that feels like way too many — and Honeycomb agrees. That’s why this small, female-founded brand created luxury, three-ply toilet tissue made from bamboo. It feels just like regular high-end toilet paper, but doesn’t harm trees. 

So why bamboo? It’s the fastest-growing plant in the world — growing 100 times faster than the average tree — which means thousands of rolls can be produced in the time it takes for a single tree to grow back.

This Dog Plans Movie Night

This adorable video features a movie night completely planned by the dog. The owner gives him options for what he’d like to wear to cozy up, what snacks to consume, and which movie to watch. We love a “choose your own adventure” evening.

Final Bark

In the time it takes to read today’s edition, an estimated 93 trees will be cut down to meet toilet paper demand. Honeycomb is helping to change that with luxury three-ply toilet tissue made from sustainable bamboo. It’s biodegradable, plastic-free, and will be delivered straight to you.

New customers can use code DIG30 for 30% off your first shipment. Ends tonight.
