New biometric study proves Pet Acoustics® canine music lessens stress and anxiety in dogs

Pet parents and veterinarians know that canine behavioral stress is often triggered by their acute hearing to sounds in the environment. Dogs hear two times more than human hearing. To modify behavioral stress in dogs, Janet Marlow, Founder of Pet Acoustics, innovated a science-based music process specifically for canine acute hearing. To biometrically prove the positive benefits of Pet Acoustics® music for dog anxiety, a study was initiated to analyze the pulse rate, HRV data and activity levels of different dog breeds while listening to the canine-specific music. The data compared the biometrics of each dog when the music was playing and equally with the music not playing.  Each dog wore a Petpace Smart Collar which collected the dog’s vital signs and behavior patterns. The data was collected in real time and could be seen on a cloud-based analysis engine program provided by Dr. Asaf Dagan DVM, Chief Veterinary Scientist of PetPace LTD.
