REVIEW: My Pet Speaker Lets You and Your Furball Dance to the Music
TREATS FOR PEOPLE

Understanding life from an animal's point of view can be tough for us bumbling, insensitive humans. What sound frequencies might bother my dog hardly ever crossed my selfish mind, so thank goodness for Pet Acoustics, a company that has designed a beautiful home speaker system that works for you and your pets.

My Pet Speaker ($249.95) was created with animals' acute hearing in mind, so it generates fewer frequencies than a traditional sound system might. Music gets dispersed in 360 degrees and the bass doesn't get too loud for their little ears.

The speaker's sound is perfectly functional — but it's not going to give you a mind-blowing aural experience, so no bumpin' Saturday night house parties with this, sorry.

I can't tell you how it affected my dog, since Ethel doesn't seem to be bothered by any kind of noise — she might lift her head and blink slowly to indicate she'll be going back to sleep in 3, 2, 1 ... but that's about it. My Pet Speaker definitely didn't disturb her, and it gave me comfort to think that the speaker's design was keeping her in mind, too.

Aesthetically, the speaker is quite pleasing. You can tell the designers wanted to make something modern and handsome, and they mostly succeeded.


How do pets interpret music?
Do pets get the same listening experience as humans do when they listen to music? Does anyone know if their pets react to music? What kind of music do you think most pets would enjoy and why?

There are cd's out now made especially for pets, some offer sounds that pets can hear with their hearing range that humans can't hear, and the pets in our pet Spa REALLY seem to love them. A favorite is Relaxation Music for Dogs and Cats, Volume 1 is specially designed for the hearing ranges of dogs and cats to give your pet an appropriate environment for their well-being and to help them feel calm. A gift to give back to your pet.
