Music Therapy for Dogs: Treating Anxiety with Melody

You know the feeling: You’ve had a rough week and all you want to do is grab your speaker and relieve the workday blues by streaming your favorite playlist. Before you know it, Fido is sitting right by you, his chin on your lap. As if Fido’s mood is boosted because of the music, he gets up and wags his tail.

Your mood has now changed from heavy to light, and you’re ready to go on an afternoon walk to enjoy the last drop of sun with Pooch. There’s something about the combination of beats, harmony and sometimes lyrics that helps you relax and dogs can feel it too.

Music therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music as a vehicle to relax and improve mood. It produces positive outcomes such as wellness and stress reduction. The use of elements of music, such as sound, rhythm, and harmony, can calm accelerated heart rates and lower cortisol levels.

Does music therapy have the same effects on dogs?
