Show Notes
Welcome to We’re All Ears, the podcast where we explore the intersection of science, sound, and animal well-being.
I’m Janet Marlow, sound behaviorist and founder of Pet Acoustics. Over the years, I’ve worked with shelters, veterinary clinics, and pet parents to bring calm and comfort to animals through sound and environmental design. Today, we’re talking about reducing anxious behaviors in shelter animals and we’re going to back it up with real science.
If you’ve walked into a shelter and seen dogs pacing, barking nonstop, or cats hiding in the backs of cages, you’ve seen stress at work. The good news is science shows us there’s a lot we can do to change that. And yes, the tools can be as simple as how we manage sound, light, and daily routines.
