Neil Evans, a pet psychologist and a professor at the University of Glasgow said that his team has done a lot of research on this particular subject. He came out with positive results as he identified that short periods of music can make dogs more rejuvenated. This added feature can not only reduce dogs’ stress but also reduce their anxiety over long periods of time.
Dogs have an appropriate auditory enrichment. Due to this, they bark less, lie down and sleep more, and their body is in a more relaxed physiological state. According to a survey of 3,000 pet owners who stream music in the UK, around three-quarters claim they already play tunes to their animals and believe they love listening to music. The platform has also created a new podcast for lonely dogs crafted to keep them calm when their owner is away from home, called ‘My Dog’s Favourite Podcast’.
Each episode of the newly added music features dog-directed applause, stories, affirmation messages, and reassurance, with popular voices including Ralph Ineson and Jessica Raine.
