The dog hearing is one of the dog's strongest senses. Music will enhance your dog's quality of life. Music will help in reducing anxiety, block environmental sounds like fireworks, sirens, and thunder, and reduce heart rate, blood pressure, etc. Music will help puppies and dogs to relax and sleep. Also dogs with separation anxiety and anxious dogs that are fearful of noises. Swapp out the music you're playing on a daily basis to keep their mood consistent throughout the day.
The music you want to play, is Classical, New Age, Soundscape, Smooth Jazz, and Reggae. Dogs have a phobia called storm phobia comes from sensory stimulation like thunderclaps, lightning, and changes in the barometric pressure. When a storm hits play calming music. Just one adult heartworm can be deadly if a cat experiences an allergic reaction.
When adult heartworms die, they release toxins into the cat's bloodstream which cause lung damage, leading to respiratory problems or sudden death. Some cats survive with heartworms in their system only if they do not experience an allergic reaction. The larval is carried by mosquitos and transmitted to cats and dogs when the mosquito bites. Unfortunately, indoor cats can get bitten by mosquitos. |
