Dogs have far more sensitive hearing than humans and can detect much quieter sounds. Their sense of hearing is about four times as sensitive as ours, so what we hear at 20 feet, a dog can hear at about 80 feet. They also hear a lot of things we don’t because they can hear higher-frequency sounds. From available data, scientists suggest that dogs hear in frequencies as high as 67,000 cycles per second (also called hertz), while humans hear frequencies up to 64,000 cycles per second. This means there are some sounds that are inaudible to us but quite available to our dogs. For example, they can hear the high-pitched chirping of mice running around inside the walls or in the woodpile.
There's no shame in feeling just a little guilty when you have to leave your pets behind, whether it be for a quick errand, night on the town or for vacation. Knowing you have the best and highly trained pet care provider from Pet Pals helps also! (The adorable drooping face and sad eyes don't make it any easier.) When you leave you may turn on music to keep your furry friend company. Some pets prefer it, some don't as it may hinder their ability to hear outside noises thus creating anxiety. Each animal is different in their preference, here at Pet Pals we believe the right way is what your animal prefers and keeps them the most comfortable.
Should you be the lucky WINNER of this Amazon Echo Dot and your pet prefers the music left on you can say to your dot, " Hey Alexa, play calming music for pets."
