Preposterous Pets was an animal documentary television show presented by British actor Mathew Horne, launched on ANIMAL PLANET in 2014. For every episode, the show explored the extravagant lifestyles of pet owners who have gone above and beyond when it comes to their animal companions. From a man attempting to teach his cats how to surf to a woman pampering her pampered pet pig, Preposterous Pets took viewers on a wild journey of eccentric pet ownership.

Each episode of Preposterous Pets was an exploration of the overindulgence of animals, and it put the spotlight on the quirky, bizarre and indulgent lifestyles of the pet owners. Mathew Horne served as the beacon of light for viewers as he introduced the pets and their owners, bringing humor and insight into the stories.

Throughout the show, viewers were introduced to a variety of over the top animals and their eccentric owners. In one episode, there was a family with a house full of prairie dogs. They would escape from their enclosure every day and run around the house causing chaos for the family. Equally fascinating was an episode about a woman who was raising 13 dogs in her tiny New York apartment. With breeds ranging from Pomeranians to bulldogs, the lady had no problem with cleaning up after them or managing them in a small space.

Other highlights of the show included a dog that removed itself into a swimming pool because it didn't like to get dirty, a woman who had dedicated an entire room to her pet rabbit, and a man who planned to marry his pony on his birthday.

Not only did the show showcase the pets, but it also delved deep into the lives of the owners. More often than not, there was a backstory behind the extreme pet ownership. From anxiety and depression to crippling loneliness, the show's cast provided a platform to create a conversation about the emotional impact of pets on their owners' lives.

The show was shot in a typical ANIMAL PLANET style, with gorgeous shots of the animals and quirky editing that showcased the absurd nature of the situations. The photography was high quality and the sound effects and music added to the overall entertainment factor.

At the heart of Preposterous Pets was a message about valuing animals and their rightful place in the world. Despite the flamboyant and chaotic displays of pet ownership, the show did not belittle the importance of responsible pet ownership. Rather it highlighted the need for balance between giving pets the love and attention they deserve while also recognizing the challenges that come with pet-induced chaos.

Preposterous Pets was a hilarious show that never took itself too seriously. It celebrated the quirks of animals and their owners, reminding viewers why pets are so important to human society. The show was an exciting showcase of pet-loving eccentricity and highlighted the deep love that people have for their pets, regardless of how unconventional that love may seem.

In conclusion, Preposterous Pets was an entertaining and at times outrageous animal documentary television show that explored the extravagant lifestyles of pet owners who have gone above and beyond when it comes to their animal companions. The show served as a reminder to viewers of the importance of responsible pet ownership while also showcasing the unique bond between pets and their owners. With its high production values and humorous approach, Preposterous Pets was a must-see show for animal lovers and enthusiasts.
