To help calm your pet, you can find or create pet-specific playlists on platforms like Spotify. These playlists feature calming music such as classical pieces, soft rock, or nature sounds, designed to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation in dogs and cats. 

Here's a more detailed look, and what to include in a pet-calming playlist:
  • Classical music:
    Many studies suggest classical music, especially with a low BPM (beats per minute), can be effective in reducing stress and heart rate in pets, according to a study in the Journal of Veterinary Behavior, mentioned in an article posted by The Dog People. 
  • Nature sounds:
    Sounds of rain, ocean waves, or gentle wind can create a soothing environment and mask other distracting noises. 
  • Soft rock and reggae:
    These genres can also be effective in reducing stress and heart rate in some pets, according to Pooch & Mutt. 

  • Music with lower BPM:

    Generally, music with a slower tempo is more calming for pets than faster, more upbeat tunes. 

  • Consider your pet's preferences:

Where to find pet-specific playlists:
  • Spotify: Many artists and channels create playlists specifically for pets, like "Music For Dogs: Calm Music For Dogs With Anxiety". 
  • RelaxMyDog: This platform offers music and videos designed to help dogs with anxiety, loneliness, and stress, according to RelaxMyDog. 
  • Chewy.com: Offers articles and playlists with calming music for dogs and cats. 
  • Classic FM: Features a list of soothing classical pieces for pets. 
  • Create your own: Spotify and YouTube allow you to create personalized playlists, so you can tailor the music to your pet's individual needs. 
Tips for using pet-calming playlists:
  • Introduce gradually:
    Don't overwhelm your pet with the music. Start with short sessions and gradually increase the duration as they become accustomed to it, says Chewy.com. 
  • Use in conjunction with other calming techniques:
    Combine music with other methods like providing a safe space, using pheromone diffusers, or practicing positive reinforcement. 
  • Pay attention to your pet's response:
    If your pet seems stressed or anxious, try a different type of music or adjust the volume.🐾

DIY: The Cost of Silk-Pressed Hair

  Silk Press Hair straightening  is as old as ancient civilization, where people heated combs and tools  to "iron" their hair flat. It was prevalent in Egypt.  Fast-forwarding to the 19th century, different cultures adopted various techniques to achieve the "straight look," as my mom would say: to get the hair "bone straight." The hair-straightening process evolved over time to become more efficient, and less damaging to the hair due to heat applied to straighten it, as well as the tools used to achieve the straight look. Chemical hair relaxers were popular for women with curly hair patterns. After the hair was chemically relaxed, it was straightened with a metal pressing comb placed on an open burner to heat the tool, then combed through the hair to give it a finished appearance.  When non-Black women with straight hair during mid-20 th century wanted straighter hair, they used a clothes iron to straighten their hair to achieve a polished and wel...

Calm Dog and Cat Lounging With the upcoming Fourth of July holiday, pets are tortured by the  "booms" of fireworks. They can be terrifying for pets, especially dogs  and cats, because of their sensitive hearing and inability to understand  what's happening.  🐾 Non-Medication Methods ( can be used alone or in conjunction with medication): 1. Create a Safe Space Set up a quiet, interior room (basement, closet, or bathroom) with blankets, toys, and familiar smells. Close windows, blinds, and curtains to dampen sound and light flashes. 2. White Noise or Calming Music Turn on a fan, white noise machine, or calming music (like “Through a Dog’s Ear”). Some streaming platforms have pet-specific playlists . 3. Pressure Wraps (e.g., ThunderShirt) These snug-fitting vests help reduce anxiety by applying gentle, constant pressure, similar to swaddling a baby. 4. Distraction with Toys or Treats Puzzle toys or frozen peanut butter Kongs can help redirect focus. 5. Pheromone Spra...
