SAN DIEGO , March 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- DOGTV is launching a new series on March 3, 2022 spotlighting 'The Dog Chef' Kevyn Matthews and his work preparing healthy food for pooches.

'The Dog Chef' is a 10-episode series of shows that highlight Matthews' work with celebrities and everyday pet owners to create nutritious food that promotes canine health and enrichment. Kevyn Matthews owns The Dog Chef cafe in Baltimore, where he makes fresh food, treats and froyo for dogs. Matthews has a four year-old Doberman named Heidi and also fosters dogs for Baltimore area rescues.

The first episode, "Healthy Food is Pretty," airs on March 3 and will feature Matthews visiting Marcy Hopkins, whose dog suffers from severe allergies. Matthews helps create recipes that help the dog feel better and improve its quality of life. Future episodes help dogs with such issues as irritable bowel syndrome, bad breath and heart problems.

Matthews said the creation of the show has been extremely rewarding for him, as he has had the chance to help dogs and their owners across the country.

"When I started my mission, I set out to feed my own dog the right way," Matthews said. "I had no idea it would take me on a journey that could teach the whole world feed their pets properly. This show was a fun way to do what I do best, connect with dog people who love their dogs so much that they're inspired to become the chef their dog wants them to be.

DOGTV now boasts hundreds of fun, educational and entertaining programs for pet parents, including shows like Road Dogs, The Happy Puppy with Dr. Courtney Campbell, Be Active with Laura Nativo and Tricks for Treats with Chrissy Joy. Additionally, the network recently started airing its first full-season series, Paws for Love, with more season-long programming coming out in the next few weeks.
