Pet Industry Breakthrough: New Study Reveals Pet Acoustics Music Significantly Reduces Canine Stress More Effectively Than Classical Music or No Music in a Kennel Environment

NEW YORK, July 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ —  Pet Acoustics, the pioneering force in animal-specific auditory products, proudly announces a proven discovery in the realm of pet care. A comprehensive biometric study has unequivocally shown that Pet Acoustics music reduces stress levels in dogs more effectively than classical music and no music, revolutionizing how we care for our canine companions in kennels and beyond.

UNPRECEDENTED FINDINGS:

1. STRESS REDUCTION: Dogs exposed to Pet Acoustics music had less stress behaviors measured by the PetPace™ Smart Collar. The PetPace™ biometric collar worn by 12 dogs showed a higher heart rate variability (HRV), lowered pulse rates and calmer activity levels showcasing the profound impact of the Pet Acoustics tailored auditory experience. The study was collaborated with the Co-Founder of PetPace™, Dr. Asaf Dagan.
2. OUTPERFORMS CLASSICAL MUSIC: While classical music has been praised for its soothing effects, Pet Acoustics music, meticulously crafted for canine ears, outperformed classical compositions in reducing stress indicators, setting a new standard in pet care.
3. IMPACT OF NO MUSIC: Dogs in the no-music group exhibited heightened anxiety and stress, with higher pulse rates, and more frequent stress-related behaviors, highlighting the necessity of auditory intervention for canine well-being.

COMPREHENSIVE STUDY METHODOLOGY:

This six-week groundbreaking study canines were recruited from Educated Canines Assisting with Disabilities (ECAD, Torrington, CT, US), an Assistance Dog International (ADI) accredited service dog organization. Lu and Dale Picard, Founders of ECAD, reviewed the study for animal welfare and safety considerations and based on the non-invasive biometric monitoring parameters and non-invasive music/ sound interventions agreed to have 12 service dogs in training participate in the study.                              

Janet Marlow, CEO and Founder of Pet Acoustics, states, “This is a monumental validation of our mission to enhance animal lives through scientifically-backed music. These findings, published and peer reviewed in the International Animal Health Journal highlight the critical importance of tailored auditory solutions for pets, and we are thrilled to lead this transformative movement.”  Watch our ten-minute study documentary on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3lRE0ZeBf8
