People who love animals and have pets have a special relationship with that being in their lives. They will go to any extent to keep them well-fed, happy and contended. If that involves a bit of music therapy, then so be it.

Catering to these animal lovers is Spotify, which has come up with a unique way to connect with your beloved pet—creating a special playlist to keep them happy less lonely when you are away.

Algorithmically curated pet playlists…

The Swedish audio streaming site with nearly 113 million subscribers has launched varied”algorithmically curated” pet playlists and a new podcast that will calm dogs and other pets left on their own.

The Royal Society for Prevention of Cruelty against Animals has also given its seal of approval to the dog podcast on Spotify but cautions against leaving pets alone too much. Two animal psychologists from Britain who worked with Spotify to develop the podcast said that the ambient sounds or auditory enrichment help the animals to relax physiologically.

A “My Dog’s Favourite Podcast” has been created with the help of animal experts to ‘alleviate stress” is how Spotify describes it. The playlists reflect the music taste of subscribers and their pets.

Some interesting music facts that’ll make you dance!

Spotify Make A Pet Playlist

Before launching this niche playlist option, Spotify conducted a global survey of some 500 pet owners from the US UK, Australia, Italy, and Spain. The survey threw up some interesting facts. The owners believe that music helps the pets to relax and reduces stress; it makes them happy and more engaged.

• It found that 71 per cent of pet owners surveyed played music for their pets.
• The pets had music preferences and enjoyed some genres of music over others. Classical music and soft rock was an all-time favorite.
• 69 per cent of owners said they sing to their pets
• Fifty-seven per cent responded that they danced with their pets.
• 1 in 5 owners named their pets after a music artist or group. The most common ones were Ozzy, Bowie, Freddie Mercury. Elvis and Bob Marley
• Fifty-five per cent believed that the pets liked the same music as them.
• To build a customised playlist, you need to go to Spotify’s website and choose the pet you want the playlist for. The choice includes cats, dogs, hamsters, birds and iguanas.

Dog Playlist Spotify

How to make a pet playlist on Spotify: 1. Describe your pet a little. List his or hers likes and dislikes and what it responds typically to, is it relaxed or energetic. 2. You can create a playlist with a photo of your pet on the list. 3. Now you are set to begin adding songs to your list. 4. You can also share the playlist on the platform.

Oh, and there’s also a Dog Podcast!

The dog podcast runs for two to five hours. The voice-overs are done by British actors Ralph Ineson and Jessica Raine. They maintain a reassuring and calm tone set to relaxing music and ambient sounds like rain and a crackling fire.

The Royal Society for Prevention of Cruelty against Animals has given its seal of approval to the podcast but cautions against leaving pets alone too much. Two animal psychologists from Britain who worked with Spotify to develop the podcast said that the ambient sounds or auditory enrichment help the animals to relax physiologically.

The psychologists said the Spotify music or podcast would help lessen the impact of “startling sounds of the outside world such as traffic, car doors slamming or the bins being emptied.”

Spotify Pet Playlist

If you’ve ever been listening to your favorite jams and noticed your Bichon Frise bopping along beside you, you’re far from alone. In a survey of how humans interact with music and pets, the music streaming service Spotify found that over 70% of people do indeed play music for their pets. To accommodate your fuzzy companion’s music needs, Spotify is launching Pet Playlists to help you customize music for your pet.

By answering a few questions about your furry, feathery, or scaly friend with Spotify’s new pet playlist feature, you’ll receive about 30 tracks customized just for you and your pet. Using Pet Playlists, you can select from a few different pet options — cat, dog, iguana, hamster, or bird — and answer some character-defining questions about them. Then, Spotify's algorithmcan curate a playlist based on your pet’s personality and your own music tastes. By visiting spotify.com/pets on your desktop or phone, you can choose your fighter (erm, pet) and then input whether your friend is more relaxed or energetic, shy or friendly, apathetic or curious. You can then show off your pet's excellent taste in music on social media, if you post the personalized sharecard that you receive with your playlist.

My Playlist On Spotify

Here's an example of how it works: I don't have a pet myself, but when I went to make a playlist for Ms. Frizzle's pet lizard Liz (yes, from The Magic School Bus, because if there is an option for an iguana playlist, why not take it?), I got a playlist featuring a cover of Aerosmith's 'I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing,' Elliott Yamen's 'Wait For You,' and Passenger's 'Let Her Go.' Telling, right?

Spotify’s research has found that, indeed, you and your pet probably already have an established relationship with music. In a global online survey of over 5,000 music-streamers with pets from the United States, the UK, Australia, Spain, and Italy, Spotify found that 71% of people with pets play music for them, with nearly 50% saying that their pets have music genre preferences (with classical and soft rock being the most popular pet choices). The survey also found that if you’ve ever taken it a step further and danced with your pet, you’re not alone — 57% of people with pets dance with their animal, while 69% sing to their pet. Most people with pets actively use music to keep their pet company, to boost their happiness, and to help their friend relieve stress.

To create these playlists, Spotify created an algorithm informed by the insight of musicologist David Teie, a cellist with America’s National Symphony Orchestra. Teie, who composes music for cats (which is exactly what it sounds like), advised the platform on what certain animals tend to like or dislike. For example, dogs tend to perceive music in the lower register as a threat, so if you say you’re making a playlist for a barking friend, the algorithm might discourage these kinds of sounds. Even though your pet is, of course, an individual like you, they may well find that their very own algorithm-generated Spotify playlist is especially pleasing.

Whether you have a hamster or an iguana, a dog, cat, or a bird, Spotify’s new Pet Playlists is a lot of fun to play with. It might turn out that they love artists you’ve never heard of (or hate your favorite artists — awkward). After all, algorithms curate playlists that make you feel personally attacked in all the best ways every day. Why should it be any different for your pet? If you’re looking for a new way to keep your pet company when you’re at work or just a new playlist to dance to with your hamster, Pet Playlists might just be the next thing you bond over with your best friend.
