Alison Hammond faces renewed backlash as For the Love of Dogs viewers switch off
ShareShareShareShareShare


A year after Alison Hammond stepped into the late Paul O’Grady’s shoes as the new host of For the Love of Dogs, backlash from devoted fans of the late TV legend is still pouring in – with many declaring the show “should’ve ended with Paul”
The latest episode aired on Tuesday, April 8.
The episode featured emotional stories of rescue animals looking for their forever homes. Among these was Woody, a dog who found a new purpose working with the Ministry of Defence as an explosive detection dog.
But rather than focus on the animals’ happy endings, many viewers unfairly took to social media to express their frustration with Alison’s hosting style and presence on the show.

For the Love of Dogs – complaints about Alison Hammond continue
“Should’ve buried #ForTheLoveOfDogs with the sad passing of Paul O’Grady,” said one viewer. “Seems creepy recasting it as though Paul just quit. Maybe they could’ve done something else dog-based.”
“Can’t watch till ITV comes to its senses and replaces Alison for someone who actually LIKES dogs,” another fumed.
“Again she is making the show all about her… Seven changes of outfits etc in one show!!! Ffs,” someone else added, clearly not realising the show is likely filmed over a number of different days.
“I’m happy for Woody,” said another. “But we’re not watching the programme any more because Hammond ruins it. #ForTheLoveOfDogs used to be our favourite show.”
ITV backs Alison
Others took issue with Alison’s past comments and personal history with dogs.
Many viewers still hold on to the fact that Alison has openly admitted she doesn’t own a dog, citing her demanding work schedule.
Some fans also referenced comments from charity director Claire-Louise Nixon. In a Facebook post, Claire claimed that during a 2019 interview, Alison appeared afraid of dogs and admitted she was there to “pay [her] mortgage”.
An ITV spokesperson denied these claims, but that hasn’t stopped the backlash. Neither has the fact that ITV are clearly happy with Alison’s work, otherwise she wouldn’t have been signed up for a second series.
