Who ever was angry because it's a "Harry Potter" rip-off! Harry Potter isn't original either. It is a children's series. I'm a 50 year old child who doesn't really like HP, because I was there when everyone held the book high in front of them to on the tube to show that they were cool. Pup academy is fun, Extremely cute animals and how can you dislike talking pups? It has it's faults of course, but and the CGI isn't always great, but Children's imagination will ignore it. So sit back with your children and enjoy this little cute series, and if you don't sit with them, it will keep them quiet and you can have a snooze.

Adorable, educational and FUN

I'm in my 30s and I absolutely adore this show, My inner child finds this show so endearing, It's not only about puppies learning to grow into dogs but how to love each other, their humans and respect every bodies (even cats!) differences
The show also follows some little kids growing up, one without their father but still with the love and support from his other family members.
It's also got good vs evil, magic, mystery and comedy
The dynamic is simply fabulous!
Wonderful!!

Worst after the last film production of Robert Vince
criticj21 November 2019
This tv show is the last and the worst thing on earth I would watch after Robert Vince ruined the Pup Star franchise with Puppy Star Christmas and Pup Star World Tour, which is the primary reason why none of his future media and productions will ever be a part of my digital purchase streaming collection after the Air Bud and Air Buddies Series. Real dumb and crap-filled entertainment.
Clever & Cute

Very cute idea to make a fun tv series about puppies who go to a magical school. This show has very much a Harry Potter meets air bud vibe. Fun for kids of all ages, adults may find it a bit boring, but I'm sure the kids will love this. Very imaginative and fun show for dog / Sci- fi / Disney fans.
Horrible Show That Rips Off Elements From Harry Potter
jeremycrimsonfox3 May 2020
A stray named Spark is chosen to attend Pup Academy, a magical place where pups learn to be man's best friends. There, she has many adventures with her two best friends, Whiz, a small sheep dog who is smart, but is afraid of sheep, and Corazon, a golden retriever who acts like he's the cool one, and has a tendency to chase his tail, unknown she is one to fulfill a prophecy to keep the constellation Canis Primus from fading, which would sever the bond between humans and canines.
A show made by Air Bud Entertainment, a company infamous for being founded by the man who used to do the Air Buddies movies and has released DTV films with two things in common: talking animals and not being well received by critics and those who watched the films, this is the company's debut show, airing on Disney Channel. While the show is based on a school where pups learn to be man's best friend, it rips off many elements from the Harry Potter franchise (mainly the prophecy, the school having four houses like Hogwarts, Fetchball being like Quidditch, etc). But what gives this a three star is because the characters can be related to (Spark is a stray who never had friends, which some kids may relate to) and the dogs here at least have personality. This is one of those series that, while kids like, adults may not find any interest in.

Pups for the win !

Fine show for kids, but when you actually research it...

Warning: Spoilers
I honestly liked the show fine, its educational, and appropriate, but when you actually pay attention to the show, some of the elements are very identical to Harry Potter, A ___ that has a poor environment gets to go to a magical school, they make two friends that go on adventures. We can immediately relate this to Harry Potter, now if we actually think about it, this can also be compared to Pup Academy. Overall, its a great topic for kids, but you delivered it very badly.
Watched my dog!

Fantastic Show!

This was just the show I needed to watch to relax and smile! It had enough adventure to be interesting, tons of cute puppies to fulfill my need for dog content, and was a great escape from day to day life. The puppies and people came from different backgrounds and everyone can relate to some pup or person. It was a great watch.
AMAZING!!!

My 8yo and I just binged this show and LOVED it.

This is such a sweet show with interesting, engaging story lines. I read a lot of reviews comparing it to Harry Potter, which I don't agree with. I found the storyline to be original, but with classic gags that kids love. Whatever technology they used to make the dogs "speak" makes the experience more wondrous. Great job to all involved. I truly hope it is renewed.
