Music to relax pets

Only humans enjoy playing music,
It should be possible for animals to listen and enjoy it (^o^)/

And music has various effects on the mind and body,
There is no difference between humans and animals.


In humans, music therapy improves stroke motor and cognitive functions,
Anxiety about medical treatment and surgery may be reduced
Such advantages are shown.


A pet, for example, a cat under general anesthesia
Keep responding physiologically to music
The research result with is reported.
("The influence of music and its genre on the changes in respiratory rate and pupil diameter of cats under general anesthesia")

In this study,
Depending on the genre of music
I know that there was a difference in the cat's reaction,


Compared to pop music and heavy metal,
If you listen to classical music,
The cat seems to be more relaxed!

In the first place, music that is considered comfortable for humans
Having a beat similar to the pulse rate of a human at rest,
Contains many sounds with the same frequency as the human vocal range
It has been with.


The same applies to dogs and cats.

Therefore, a sound with a frequency similar to that of a dog or cat,
Sounds similar to when a cat throats
Music composed of etc. would be good.


There is a sound source for dogs or cats to relax on the street.
CDs are on sale.

But
"That's what I heard
I don't really like that,"


"I don't usually hear classical music,
For cute pets
Should I listen to it? "
Do you feel that?


The limbic system that controls emotions is
It is easy to connect with memory.


Like the scent,
The music I heard when I was relaxing
I like the smell you smell.

And the music I heard and the scent I smelled were
It reminds me of the memory of that time.


So
When I had a good time with my owner
The music that was played is surely for pets
You should remember some fun memories!


"Playing your favorite music with a sound that is not too loud"
But I think it's a good way to be pet friendly.


Actually, that sound source
The waiting room of an animal hospital where many pets are nervous
It would be nice if you could call in the examination room,
BGM cannot be changed for each family.


There are many unspecified pets at the veterinary clinic,
At my veterinary hospital
After all, I often play classical music as background music.


It is also one of the Solfeggio frequencies
528hz music dominates parasympathetic nerves
It is said that,
In the sense of releasing tension
Sometimes I play such a CD.


When playing with pets at home,
When you relax with your pet,
Looking for music that will be the theme
How about playing as BGM?


What is the owner's favorite environment (temperature, scent, music, etc.)?
I definitely like pets, so
Be happy together, and
Let's be healed further!
