About Animal Planet
Animal Planet is a television channel dedicated to programming of animals through various series and documentaries about domestic pets and wild animals. Headquartered in Silver Spring, Maryland, US, the channel is owned by Discovery Inc and was launched on October 1, 1996.
It started as a channel that aired educational programs on nature through documentaries. Since 2008, it has laid emphasis on portrayal of the aggressive and predatory behavior of animals. It has now matured enough to broadcast reality programs involving personalities who work in wild or in animal-related occupations as well as those involved in investigations about various animal behavior. However, since October 2018 it has adopted a more family-centric programming and direction method.
Animal Planet has a number of sister channels such as Discovery Channel, TLC, Destination America, Cooking Channel, Travel Channel, Great American Country, Discovery Life, Investigation Discovery, Motor Trend, Science Channel etc. From this channel, you can get a lot of information about wild animals and those living in seas and rivers as well as pets. It produces and broadcasts a wide variety of shows such as River Monsters, Hanging with the Hendersons, Dr. Jeff: Rocky Mountain Vet and many more. Know the entire list of upcoming shows on the Schedule section. Also you can stream shows online by signing in with your TV provider’s details.
The quality of picture and sound broadcast by the channel is incredibly good. Though the channel is mainly broadcast in English, it is also available in various other languages such as Espanol, Dutch, French, Portuguese etc. Hosting of the shows is also appreciable.
Across the US, the channel is available through satellite dish connections, cable, IPTV as well as streaming media through platforms like PlayStation, Vue, and YouTubeTV. FuboTV brings live streaming of various programs telecast by Animal Planet. You can go through the schedule of shows on the official website. There are also resources and videos through which you can learn more about pets, wild animals and make yourself familiar with their behaviors. For more information or queries on schedule, live streaming, career, or others, reach the Animal Planet support.
Please bring back the show Saved by the barn!!! Such an awesome show-i watch the reruns over and over.
It was so interesting to watch about farm animals and how the Barn Sanctuary did everything they could to help all these animals.
Please, please bring it back
Why does your channel NOT have closed captioning??! I am hearing impaired. I love shows like Louisana Law and other game warden stuff. I cannot hear the programs. You are not following AODA rules.
I love Animal Planet . Some of my favourites are Dr. Jeff, Pit Bulls & Paroles and other animal rescue programs. But a lot has disappeared like Hanging With The Henderson, Amanda To The Rescue, Hope For Wildlife plus others. Please bring back those wonderful missing shows.
I’m very disappointed in the direction Animal Planet has taken. You used to broadcast AKC dog shows every Saturday morning. Kids loved those. Then, you stopped broadcasting dog shows. Then you had a terrific show in Pit Bulls and Parolees….again, you got rid of that. We haven’t seen mention of a season 7 of The Vet Life, another quality show gone. Why? What about Northwoods Law? Gone. Dr Jeff? I’m hearing he’s gone too. Animal Planet has made many bad decisions and I’m sure lost a large portion of its viewership. This show should be about animals and their care. Saved by the Barn was another quality show that has met with the chopping block. I’m done with your “planet”! It now belongs in a different solar system!!
I am soooo disappointed that Pit Bulls & Parolees was taken off. One of the best shows you had on in showing the range of behavior humans extend to the helpless animals we are supposed to be taking care of. Why oh why did you cancel it ? In my opinion the prime focus of Animal Planet should be about the, care of and life of the animals we inhabit this planet with. Pools, tree houses and fish tanks do NOT fit that bill. Animals that are down and out and the humans that come to their rescue are the epitome of what this channel should be about.
I fully agree with Liz King. Pit Bulls and Parolees are better in reruns than most programs are first time out. You have a few animal programs that are interesting, original, informative and entertaining. Pit Bulls fits that description to a ‘T’. 2PM California time is when we stop whatever else is going on and flip the channel to Tia and her crew. Almost any other show makes us change channels back to some other program.
Thanks for your time.
We are just devastated Dr Jeff is gone; we are (very)
senior folks, in Texas, and we so looked forward to that wonderful program every Saturday night. It has been our favorite show and one of only a few that we still watch. Please bring it back. Thank you…
Can someone please explain why animal planet has very little animal content on it? It’s called ANIMAL PLANET!! Not law planet, tree house planet, lock down planet… Who decided that a show about Louisiana penitentiary should be on a channel about animals? Louisiana law, North woods law, lone star law, and the other law shows. I know its game wardens, but it’s mainly showing them giving people tickets for no fishing license. I rather see animals, not drunks on boats and people fishing. I don’t care about people making fish tanks, that show is dumb and over acted. And honestly I think it’s a big slap in the face to wildlife supporting a show of a man making a living off destroying trees and possibly homes of animals.
Please please take Crocodile Hunter off the air. That Erwin kid has such an over inflated ego and holds little regard for God’s creatures. He is also abusive to some of the animals he comes into contact. I find the show very disturbing. He is just like his father and we know what happened to him.
Please bring back Northwoods Law, it’s a great show with much information for many to learn about conservation.The men and women who protect the wildlife of NH are very much respected by their fans. Myself and my family have seen every episode and have met many of the officers and their K-9’s. It’s more than just a show for so many and it would be a shame to have it gone forever.
We (and our dogs) watch Animal Planet frequently. Needless to say we were shocked and extremely disappointed that you ran several segments of John and his weed farm. His language was offensive and the topic belongs on a program somewhere else. Our Grands love the show but we will turn to other options. So disappointed in a channel that used to be above that level of programming.
PLEASE renew The Zoo (the Bronx) for a 6th season. It’s a fantastic show that my wife and I both love. We watch episodes over and over again. Sadly, we have not seen any episodes in the last few weeks. What gives?
If you have cancelled Jackson Galaxy, Dr. Jeff, Saved by the Barn and the Vet Life, you have made a huge mistake. These are programs that the entire family can watch. Also, The Zoo and The Secret Life of the Zoo are wonderful family viewing to help humans understand these animals and let us know who are endangered. You started Our Pack Life with a teaser on Animal Planet, but now it can only be seen on your streaming, Discovery+ network. Thanks a heap. Just when you thought here’s another good program, you have to stream it to get it. You at least renewd Pitbulls and Parolees, now renew these others. These shows help teach us humans to understand the other earthly residents.
I have heard that Animal Planet will no longer support Northwoods Law. I find it hard to believe one of your best programs would be canceled. I hope that I have been misinformed or you will revisit your decision. Thank you.
