There’s nothing like the unconditional love of a pet. They show you affection, give you a sense of purpose and greet you every day when you come home. Pets bring a sort of magical calm into our lives, and now, we have an opportunity to bring that magic and calm into their lives.
For many years, we have been fascinated by the impact music can have on memory, emotional state, and even healing from physical injuries and illnesses. Amazingly, the more we learn about music therapy and its benefits to humankind, the more we find that this same knowledge can be applied to our four-legged friends.
New research shows that certain music can help reduce anxiety, lower heart rate and respiration, and alleviate certain behavioral challenges in pets, such as chronic barking. Essentially, music therapy works because all animals are attuned to sensory cues, including sound. Music sends sound waves, or vibrations, that are processed by the brain, which relax the nervous system.
This discovery can reduce the stress levels of pets housed in crowded and noisy shelters, but it also sheds light on ways we can implement music therapy in veterinary clinics, boarding facilities, and in our own homes. Music has always been the universal language that connects us all. I think it’s wonderful that music is now the universal language that connects our furry friends and keeps them calm and happy.
