Introduction
Anxiety is a common issue among dogs, affecting an estimated 15% of the canine population, according to the American Kennel Club. This can manifest in various forms, including fear of loud noises, separation anxiety, and generalized anxiety. While traditional treatments like medication can be effective, anxiety music for dogs offers a natural, non-invasive, and often cost-effective alternative.
Calming Effects of Music on Dogs
Research has shown that music can have a profound impact on a dog's behavior and physiological state. Studies conducted by the University of Glasgow found that dogs exposed to calming music exhibited reduced stress levels, lower heart rates, and less pacing.
