Reception
According to an evaluation from April 2015, the show has an average of one million viewers and is therefore one of the most successful animal shows in Germany in terms of ratings. The practical relevance of the stories and advice for the viewer are the core of the success. With a few exceptions, such as B. a lurid report about unproven high annual numbers of dogs and cats killed by hunters, the consequences receive positive feedback from the viewers.

For the 20th anniversary, a magazine of the same name was published from October 23, 2021, which contained highlights from the around 1000 TV episodes that have been broadcast so far. It was published by the publishing house GeraNova Bruckmann.

Due to the positive response to hundkatzemaus, a large number of similar animal magazines developed, which are also preferably broadcast on the Saturday after hundkatzemaus. One of the best-known formats is Der Hundeprofi with Martin Rütter.
