Time and time again studies have shown a link between classical music and the wellbeing of pets.
Listening to classical music can calm and soothe the most anxious and troubled pets, either during loud events like fireworks and storms, or in day-to-day life, where they might just need a sonic hug in the form of music by Bach or Arvo Pärt to remind them they are safe and loved.
In celebration of this year’s National Pet Day, we have put together a special playlist of the most relaxing classical music aimed especially at calming our furry and feathered friends.
To listen, sign up to ACO On Demand for free, hit play, and watch serenity wash over them.
