Animal Programmes on TV

Which animal programmes are on TV?

This is by no means an extensive list, but here are a range of animal programmes on TV this week to get stuck into.  Where the programme is on every night, I've put that, because otherwise the list would go on and on and on...!  Please note that programmes are subject to change and the list tends to start from Sunday lunch time.   I try to link the programmes to charities in the area or trying to work on issues that programmes cover so that you can take a look and see what is being done.  (These charities don't necessarily appear in the programme.)

ITV had a programme on Pets and the Cost of Living Crisis on Thursday 17 November 2022 at 8:30 with money saving tips to help keep pets and people together. Find out more.  There's a list of Pet Food Banks here plus ways to help.   I've kept it on this page because it's still relevant today.
