Energy pets: Leaving the TV on

Last updated:

You might think you're doing your pets a favor when you leave the TV on when you leave the house. But the truth is, your animal companions are fine with nature's TV. After all, it doesn't take more than a squeaky toy or a little ball to hold their attention.

When you leave the TV on for your pets, you're wasting energy. It may not seem like a lot, but if you're gone every day that energy can really add up. If you insist on providing some background noise when you leave, just turn on the radio or your favorite playlist. It will be just as entertaining.

It will save energy, and your pets won't know the difference.
