Pete Wicks: For Dogs' Sake renewed for a fourth series
Pete is heading back to the Dogs Trust rehoming centre
Last updated 8th Apr 2026
Following the success of the first three series, fans will be pleased to know Pete Wicks' popular dog show For Dogs' Sake has now been renewed for a fourth series!
After the third series hit our screens in January, Pete himself has now confirmed the news we all wanted to hear, whilst speaking on his podcast with best mate and Hits Radio presenter Sam Thompson.
Will there be a fourth series?
Yes! Speaking to Sam, Pete said: "I start filming for series four in two weeks time," before joking Alison Hammond is his TV 'enemy' with her show For The Love Of Dogs.
He added: "Battersea are currently filming with Alison Hammond For The Love Of Dogs, my enemy in the TV world. But it just goes to show how amazing these charities are."
When is the new series out?
There's no word on when series four will begin, but we imagine it will be later in 2026.
How many episodes?
Series one-three are made-up of five episodes, so it's expected series four will follow the same format.
Speaking about what he learnt whilst filming series three, Pete said: "Do you know what, funnily enough it's not even dog related. Its people related… I think I'm guilty of judging - you hear stories and sometimes when you don't have the context behind things, you go, how can someone do that?
"And you don't always understand the reasoning behind it until you see people interact with dogs and then it’s clear… people get themselves in situations and you have to be open-minded. I’m open-minded with dogs but what it's taught me, is to be more open-minded to people as well. I don't have a particular fondness for people.
"But actually that’s wrong because there are still good people in the world. I think what it's taught me is that compassion, empathy and those sorts of things towards animals comes in all sorts of different shapes and forms."
What channel is it on?
For Dogs' Sake airs on free-to-air TV channel U&W (formally known as W). The channel is number 25 on Freeview.
You can catch up on series one-three now.
How many series so far?
There's so far been three series of Pete Wicks: For Dogs' Sake, with series three kicking off on Monday 5th January 2026.
Where is it filmed?
Filming takes place at the Dogs Trust rehoming centre in Basildon.
Who hosts the show?
Former TOWIE and Strictly Come Dancing star, and KISS presenter Pete Wicks hosts the show, with many praising him for his love of dogs and presenting skills in the first series, which first aired in 2025.
