Humans waiting for the doctor to arrive in an exam room often have the experience of raised blood pressure levels. It’s common to get a higher number read, well, because we’re human and there is always a bit of stress going to the doctor. For our pets, who are acutely more sensitive to their environmental changes, traveling to the vet, going through the lobby and arriving in an exam room increases pulse rate, lowers HRV (heart rate variability), and triggers FAS (fear, anxiety and stress). Dogs can pace and pant and cats can cry out and cower in anxious behaviors.
Pet Acoustics has been focused on how to address this experience for our beloved pets and how to help veterinarians achieve better and easier exams. So we filmed the experience of “Rigby, an English Springer Spaniel in the moments between the vet tech evaluation and waiting for the veterinarian to come into the room for the exam. This is an important opportunity to be able to lower the stress level of the pet for better more relaxed exams for the pet and veterinarian alike. What we used is our newest multi-sensory product Pet Tunes Pro using soothing light and our biometrically proven music technology to lower stress in Rigby’s behavior. Here’s what happened!
As you can see, Rigby’s breathing and behavior became calm and ready for the vet exam. Pet Acoustics is a FearFree Preferred product.
Pet Acoustics biometric music is designed to benefit dogs and cats by providing music that is specifically tailored to their auditory and emotional needs. This type of music is created with the physiological and psychological characteristics of pets in mind. Here are some ways in which pet acoustics biometric music can be beneficial:
Stress Reduction: Pet Acoustics music is designed to have a calming effect on dogs and cats. It often incorporates soothing melodies, gentle rhythms, and frequencies that are known to reduce stress and anxiety in pets. This can be particularly helpful in situations that typically cause stress, such as veterinary visits or thunderstorms.
Auditory Enrichment: Dogs and cats have a heightened sense of hearing compared to humans. Pet Acoustics music takes into account their ability to hear a broader range of frequencies and may include sounds that are pleasing to them, enhancing their auditory environment and providing enrichment.
Distraction: In stressful situations, such as during a car ride or a vet visit, pet acoustics music can serve as a distraction. It can help divert a pet's attention away from anxiety-inducing stimuli and promote a more relaxed state of mind.
Promotes Relaxation: The music's soothing qualities can help pets relax, which is beneficial for their overall well-being. Reduced stress and anxiety can contribute to better health outcomes and behavior in pets.
Positive Associations: If consistently played in positive situations, pet acoustics music can create positive associations for pets. For example, if it's played during playtime or mealtime, pets may associate the music with enjoyable experiences.
Better Sleep: Pet Acoustics music can be used to create a calming bedtime routine for pets. The soothing sounds can help dogs and cats fall asleep faster and enjoy a more restful sleep.
Behavioral Benefits: Some pets with behavioral issues, such as separation anxiety, may benefit from the calming effects of pet Acoustics music. It can be part of a broader approach to managing and addressing behavior problems.
Many pet owners and veterinarians have reported positive outcomes when using this type of music to help pets relax and reduce anxiety.
At Pet Acoustics®, we are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking advancement in our research into behavioral calmness for cats and dogs. Through rigorous biometric studies, we have successfully proven the effectiveness of our innovative approach to promoting a serene environment for our furry friends. These findings constitute a major breakthrough in understanding the emotional well-being of cats and dogs and signify a significant leap forward in veterinary science.
Using advanced biometric technology, our team has explored the impact of specific sound frequencies on the physiological responses of cats and dogs. By meticulously monitoring heart rate, respiration, and various other vital signs, we have collected comprehensive data that confirms the calming effects of our specially designed acoustic solutions.
The results of our biometric studies have astoundingly demonstrated a reduction in stress and anxiety levels among cats and dogs exposed to our scientifically formulated soundscapes. Through carefully engineered compositions, tailored specifically to the auditory sensitivities of our beloved companions, we have observed significant positive changes in behavioral patterns.
