Embarrassing Pets to return to Channel 4

Following a successful pilot in August 2017 – Channel 4 has commissioned Shiver North, the Manchester-based part of award-winning ITV Studios’ label, to produce Embarrassing Pets, a brand new daytime series showcasing a host of interesting owners and their cherished pets which all have something in common – embarrassing behavioural or health issues.

Warm, witty and candid, the 20×30 series will follow a team of experts – dog behaviourist Leon Towers and animal behaviourist Caroline Clark and vets Deepti Sharma and Gavin McDonagh – at the Embarrassing Pets practice in Cheshire. Here they encounter a variety of owners desperately seeking help with their characterful pets, and will help to fix their problems, while sharing honest and amusing views on each case that presents itself.

From pungent pugs to diva ducks, angry alpacas to petulant parrots, no case is off limits at the practice that brings to life the extraordinary bond that exists between pets and their owners. We’ll meet each family at home before they attend the practice to see evidence of their pet’s embarrassing issue.
