CNBC's Andrea Day reports: Composer Janet Marlow of Pet Acoustics composes music specially designed to help pets get over anxiety.
Pulse rates in animals were studied showing lowered pulse rates indicating balance and calm during Pet Acoustics listening sessions.
HRV is the fluctuation in the time intervals between adjacent heartbeats. Higher HRV is a positive indicator of better health and less stress demonstrated in our studies.
Cortisol is the stress hormone produced when animals experience stress. Salivary tests revealed Pet Acoustics music directly lowered cortisol levels.
Observational studies reveal a consistency of environment through our music provided pet subjects with a sense of wellness and safety.
Given the importance of auditory communication in these species, understanding age-related hearing loss is crucial for enhancing animal welfare and owner-pet interactions.
To modify behavioural stress in dogs, Janet Marlow, Founder of Pet Acoustics innovated a science-based music process specifically for canine, feline and equine acute hearing.
The three-month clinical study monitored nine adult cats measuring their pulse rates, HRV, and activity levels determining the effects of the music.

Animal hypervigilant behavior is triggered by high and low frequencies whether indoors or outdoors. Through a proprietary process, we eliminate ultra-high and sub-low frequencies in our designed music, resulting in a comfort listening zone for pets.
“The frequencies are designed to calm down dogs and it’s clinically proven to work within five minutes. I adore this.”
— Dr. Heather Loenser, Chief Veterinary Officer, Suveto
“The most wonderful discovery in my career. With pet anxiety issues, it’s a great tool. Every animal benefits in my practice.”
— Dr. Dale Krier, Creature Comforts
“We have had great results in our clinic. The same applied to several cats with a history of being tough—they relaxed as well.”
— Dr. Bob Beede, Intermountain Pet Hospital

Through clinical studies, she has shown the positive effects of music scientifically tailored for different animal species. Her findings have innovated the very process of contouring music for animal hearing ranges for behavioral health.
Marlow has been featured on platforms including Animal Planet’s K9 Kharma, CBS’s Good Morning America, CNBC’s The News with Shepard Smith, and The Martha Stewart Show. Janet is also speaker at professional events such the Western Veterinary Conference and The New York Vet Show. She is also an author and consults organizations and veterinary practices in this emerging field.
In addition to her contributions to pet wellness, Janet Marlow is an accomplished composer, performer and recording artist, internationally recognized for her mastery of the ten-string guitar.
