What Music Does Your Dog in Colorado Want to Listen To?

Many people in Colorado have pets, specifically dogs. Most consider their dogs a part of the family and even consider them their children. Some can't leave the house without their dogs, and others leave them at home to keep everything safe. Some leave them in the backyard, some leave them in the house, and others let them have even their own room. For many of us, music is relaxing, and when we leave our dogs at home alone, sometimes music is left on for them to listen to. Are you someone who leaves music on for your dog, and if you have a playlist, what is your dog listening to in Colorado? 

Making a Playlist For Your Dog in Colorado

Most people enjoy listening to music, and some let their dogs listen to it as well. According to a recent study on metlifepetinsurance.com, 90% of people play music around or for their dogs, and 14% have even created them a playlist. For those who are musically talented, 63% sing for their dogs, and 27% have even made up an original song for their dogs. The funny part is that 36% of dogs don't react to the singing or music, but 28% calm down or fall asleep, 23% perk up and become more alert, and 22% wag their tail and seem excited. For those curious, 7% will leave the room. Only 13% of pet owners will play specific music for their dogs, while 87% play what they prefer to listen to.

This doesn't mean you have to make your dog a playlist or start playing them music, but perhaps it is worth trying to see how they react. If they enjoy it, make them a playlist, but if not, it might be best to let them enjoy silence.
