Music Therapy for Pets

You can find a wide variety of music available on YouTube such as Sleep Music Relax Zone geared to calm your pet. Listen for free. It will soothe you as well as your pet. If you’ve ever listened to deep meditation tracks you’ll understand why this music works to relax and soothe pets (and humans!). It has an om-like current - a vibration in the background with soft, stretched notes in the forefront. Kind of like the music you hear at a fancy spa. Pet Acoustics, an app you can download on your mobile devices, aims to calm down dogs, cats, and even horses!
Pet Tunes Bluetooth Speaker is pre-loaded with soothing tunes, specific to your pet type. Or try Pet Tunes, a bluetooth speaker preloaded with science-based tunes specifically created for the sensitive ears of dogs, cats, birds or horses. It has a repeat mode to play all day during alone time, thunderstorms, or even while traveling with your furry buddy.

Just hearing your voice will relax your bestie until you get home to play again.

Thunder Clothing

Wearable vests like ThunderShirts work by adding reassuring pressure to the dog's core. If thunder, fireworks, or car trips make your pet unhappy, Thunder Clothing’s Thundershirt may be just what your little guy needs. This “anxiety vest” mentally swaddles your pet in a protective fabric that applies a constant, gentle pressure that has a success rate of over 80%. Remember: putting anything on your pet when they’re experiencing stress will not calm them. Put the vest on before the stressful event so they don’t associate it with the stress itself.

Diet

What does everyone want to do after their Thanksgiving meal? Sleep! Tryptophan, Mother Nature’s calming and sleeping aid, gives turkey that get-me-to-bed feeling. And it’s just as calming to your pet. Try to find foods or treats with this ingredient whenever you think your pet may need a little relaxation. Holistic approaches and supplements may also help. Zylkene uses the milk protein casein, which mimics the comforting smell of a lactating mommy dog or cat. And Pet Naturals of Vermont offers highly rated calming chews. Try leaving some of these treats around the house for your pet to find when you’re gone, or bring them with you on road trips to ensure a carefree ride. Although all of these sound great, only introduce one new edible product to your pet at a time to avoid an allergic reaction or overdose. Yes, you can have too much of a good thing!
