What Parents Need to Know
About Dogs 101/Cats 101
Parents need to know that this educational series offers educational information about dogs and cats, from breed-based facts to health and training tips. While it's pretty mild overall, expect some brief discussions about animal mating and the use of service dogs in both search and rescue situations (including the events of 9/11) and as assistants to terminally ill patients. Occasionally, the death of an animal is discussed.

very informative
it is a very good show. great for young kids and their parents when deciding what breed of dog/cat to get. it shows younger kids that the cute animals aren't always the easiest to take care of.

My kids have the DVR set to record dogs 101 every time it comes on...They love it. My daughter watches it and she is 5 BUT I am a dog groomer and she is accustomed to a lot of the issues talked about on the show. I also have a Doberman Search and Rescue/Tracking dog..so that is not a problem either...for us..lol
