Recently I came across a fascinating article on the BBC website about playing Bach to soothe animals. We all know that our beloved pets can get upset and agitated when there is chaos an confusion around them or when they've been alone for too long or when they're tired from being played with too much! There are times we'd like to soothe our pets without giving them something unhealthy or even dangerous. Here's what the site reported:
An RSCPA rescue centre has installed a £2,000 sound system to play soothing classical music to stressed dogs.
Staff at the kennels in West Hatch, near Taunton, Somerset, said they now hear Bach rather than barks.
The animals are said to respond well to the strains of Beethoven and Mozart, but are not fans of pop or dance music.
Deputy manager Anita Clarke said: "It's a very stressful environment for the dogs to be in here, so anything that can help is worth a go."

Give it a try next time your pet is fussy or cranky!
