Dog owners are calling for a specialist dog-themed radio station, as a survey reveals 66 per cent of people leave the radio on for their pet when they leave the house.

One in three owners even feel their dog has a favourite station, with Heart and Capital FM the most popular choices, according to the survey by Rover.com, a network of dog walkers and sitters.

Other top stations include Smooth, Magic, Kiss, Classic FM and BBC Radio 4.

Based on the survey, Rover.com estimates that 9.2 million dogs listen to the radio each day.
