Songs to keep your dog calm

Is your dog anxious?

Two in three dog owners say their dog gets stressed often, especially when riding in the car.

You can help, though, by letting Fido control your playlist!

new study determined what type of music will help your dog relax…and you’re already listening to it…light rock and reggae do the trick!

They don’t like hard rock music or any songs with whistling!

What songs soothe the savage beast (and maybe you, too)?

  • How Deep Is Your Love”  Bee Gees
  • “No Woman, No Cry”  Bob Marley
  • “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You”  Bryan Adams
  • “I Want to Know What Love Is”  Foreigner
  • “Desperado”  Eagles

What songs should you skip?

Heavy metal like Led Zeppelin‘s “Black Dog”, “Back in Black” by AC/DC and “Paranoid” by Black Sabbath.
