Researchers in Glasgow studied the affect of different kinds of music on pets and found that dogs were happiest when listening to reggae music like Marley or UB40. Soft rock also tended to result in more positive behavior.
The music used in the test included soft rock, Motown, pop, reggae and classical.
This research doesn't just help pet owners. Shelters could play reggae to calm dogs down and raise their chances of adoption.
Do your pets like music? Is there any music they hate?
