Music for Dogs and Cats

“Enthusiastic, high energy describes my sweet Aussie puppy, and listening to Relaxation Music Vol 1 I watched him fall into deep REM sleep - and the feat is repeatable. Other relaxation music stimulated him. This music relaxes him - now THAT represents a five star endorsement. Thank you, Janet Marlow, for researching dogs' hearing and for your mastery in music! I am so happy to provide a gift of relaxation for my puppy who provides such joy for me.”

“I have two cats and two puppies that love to listen to this CD over and over day or night. There are a lot of interesting noises within the music that are very pleasant and calming to animals and no loud annoying sounds or voices to scare them.”

“Janet Marlow has provided us with a wonderful CD of healing. I have listened to three tracks and have ordered the CD with great anticipation. My dogs and I chilled out... connected..communed...then went for a very centered walk in the woods - making for a wonderfully relaxing morning for a very harried mom and social worker. My goal is to have this CD as part of my morning ritual everyday. Beautiful and inspiring work! A must have for those of us who live with dogs...” Kate Nicoll, MSW, author of Soul Friends:Finding Healing with Animals

“a godsend for anxious pets, this CD helped us and our noise-phobic dog through some nasty, window-rattling thunderstorms. it's not a magic bullet (hey -- what is?), but it has on multiple occasions helped ebb the panting, drooling, and pacing of our lovable but wimpy 83-pound wonder dog. it's even helped me fall asleep on those nights when my brain resisted resting.

we are NOT fans of new-age music, but the sounds of the CD are really quite unobtrusive; it's almost like the music is playing to your subconscious.

we ordered the CD on a whim after seeing the composer/performer on "animal planet." i'm happy to report that we love the music.” “Nice sounds to groom and love your animal by...I enjoyed it and my dogs and cats seems ok by it as well.”

This new CD is simply amazing!! It actually touched me at such a deep level that I had tears spilling onto my cheeks. The tears were those of joy and love for my special pack. This music seems to somehow connect animals and humans in a way that I cannot explain. Perhaps it's a universal language of sorts. My dogs literally MELTED when the music began. They both chose their spots for the next hour and spread their joy they way they always do. Each piece is so unique - a few with tiny hints of favorite holiday tunes - and all composed with such sophistication and compassion. As a pet professional, I work with all kinds of canine temperaments and Janet Marlow's CDs composed for pets are the only ones I find that have the therapeutic effects to bring balance to pets in our world of chaos. I've been playing this new Holiday CD continuously since receiving it about a month ago. I love all of her pet CDs but I have to say, this is certainly one of her best. I will never tire of it and neither will my pets. It will no doubt bring joy to both you and your pets.”

“I just purchased all three CDs and play this incredible music daily to benefit my horses, dogs and me - we absolutely love it! I've recommended it highly to several of my horse, dog and cat friends.”

“I now own all of your CD's. I own 3 doggie daycare and pet hotels in Chicago, IL. I plan to play the music for the pets to enjoy as much as I did at the PSI conference. Thank you for sharing your wonderful art with us. You are truly a master of the 10-string guitar. Having never seen one before, thank you for sharing that first time experience. Please keep doing what you do! Make more music and I promise to play it for all of the lucky pets that come into our lives. Than k you for allowing me to play your music for the ones I love!” Take care! Joseph Giannini PSI Member Urban Out Sitters Chicago, IL

“I am thrilled with the CD I bought "Relaxtion music for Dogs and Cats". I bring the CD on all my home visit appointments (massage and Reiki) for all dogs. It really creates a relaxing atmosphere. I will soon be opening my new facility in Waltham called AquaDog. We offer massage and hydrotherapy for pets. I have already purchase speakers in the poolroom because I am convinced that this music will help relax the dogs in the pool. I can't wait to get the Christmas CD!” Sincerely, Pam Tewes ptewes@aquadogfitness.com

“I have four dogs. Two of them are rescued and came to us with issues. Your CDs are relaxing to them when I have to leave and put them in their crates. I call cages and they go by themselves to their each individual crate. There is never a sound when I come home as they are all laying down very calm.”

“Music was so soothing to my dog, Miles. No matter how much running around he did before it was time for me to do yoga, he always came to my yoga mat, found a spot and after listening to a few moments of the soothing music, he would invariably be totally relaxed, on his back, with his tummy exposed, legs up…in a deep sleep. Never failed! When he saw the yoga mat and the music, he ran immediately to his “spot” knowing it was our time to relax.” Dr. Dale V. Atkins, PhD author of Sanity Savers: Tips for Women to Live a Balanced Life, Avon / HarperCollins Publisher

“I believe Relaxation Music for Dogs and Cats has a significant calming effect on our hospitalized patients. We have found it has helped to reduce their anxiety while away from their families.” Dr. Laura Carey, Litchfield Veterinary Hospital

“Patti Moran's have been offering Janet Marlow's Relaxation Music Series for close to 2 years. I have heard many good comments from Professional Pet Sitters about how well the pets are relating to the music and what an important part this is playing in the well-being of the pets under their care. Thank you Janet, for caring so much to develop this music for our fur-friends.” LaMyra Haynes, Manager, Pet Sitters International

“I have a beautiful dog named Opal who I rescued last year and who happens to have serious separation anxiety. She had to be crate trained because my husband and I have come home to many messes, shoes chewed up, blinds torn down, pillow feathers thrown all around to name a few. When it’s time to leave the house, I tell her to “kennel up” and she goes in, but when I shut the door she looks at me with those sad eyes and cries. Now, I have the CD playing in her room and I tell her to go in but she doesn’t cry now! I even came back once to check on her, she was sleeping in the crate with the music playing softly!”

“I attended QUEST and was able to purchase only one CD, "Relaxation Music for Dogs and Cats". (I was so disappointed that the others were sold out.) We travel to QUEST conventions in our motor home with 3 of our dogs and had the opportunity to play the CD many times--we were gone for 3 weeks. Not only was Janet's presentation excellent, the CD has been a big hit with our 3 dogs on the road. When we play it we note that they yawn, relax more, and often nap. We have since played it at home for our 3 cats and older dog with the same effect. We shared it with another pet sitter and her cats loved it. I bought one to give to our vet also for use in her clinic. We plan to purchase other available CD's and thank Janet for her gifted contribution to the human, feline, and canine worlds.”

“As a professional pet sitter and canine cardio coach, I find Janet's music to be the most valuable tool in my "toolbox"! Once I discovered her music and the incredible relaxing and healing effects it provides, I now incorporate it into every single pet sitting assignment and canine fitness program I do. I have invested in several portable CD players and put them in my clients' homes so their pets have continuous music during their owner's vacation. Believe me; the pets are having just as great a time thanks to Janet's music! I also play the CD for a few anxious dogs I run with...this is just the fix they need to get focused and in the zone. Works a charm in the car too! All of my amazing pet pals will be getting the holiday CD in their stocking! THANK YOU JANET FOR CREATING THIS WONDERFUL MUSIC AND SHARING YOUR GIFT WITH US ALL! The pets and I love you ~ Holly

“The music sounds great for the pets and me! A nice relaxation tool while massaging pets or working with pets in the pool. AquaDog, Pam Tewes

We are truly enjoying watching our cats as they hear the music. We have one cat that is just so timid and she actually climbed up on our sofa chair and stretched out in a position that I have never seen before. She was totally relaxed. As the CD continued 2 of our other cats climbed on the chair and went to sleep. It was very fascinating to witness how each of their personalities reacted. Congratulations on a fine product that will help animals all over the world. I hope to purchase the one for Pets and Humans soon. I wish you much success!” Debbie

Your music is so beautiful. Thank-you for offering it to all of us. I know my clients (furry clients too) will benefit greatly from your lovely music. :-) “Blessings, Linda Utz in Alabama


Music for Horses

When I put on Relaxation Music for Horses throughout the stalls I watch the horses bend their heads and relax. It effects the staff as well to calm the whole environment. I play other CD's of soothing music and rotate them but Relaxation Music for Horses is the only one 100% of the time soothing to the thoroughbreds." Belmont and New York Race Tracks- Linda Nalls, Equine Sports Massage Therapy

"Relaxation Music for Horses is the single most significant tool that I have found in 25 years. Adding this music to our training programs has truly made a world of difference! "
Boo McDaniel, Director of Horse-Power.Org NARHA Premier Center www.horse-power.org

Foals' First Steps
"Foals born to this music are bright, bold and energetic. Mares give birth
much easier with no evidence of distress or fear... even the maiden
mares. No breeding farm should be without equine music by Janet
Marlow." www.walkthatwalkranch.com

The soft light, sweetly melodic soundtracks create a tranquil acoustic environment, wherever it may be needed or wanted. Janet's music is wonderful music for anyone, anywhere the horses seem to enjoy and truly benefit from it. Try it-you will love it-it is absolutley beautiful music"
Natural Horse Magazine

Music for Birds

"Our bird “Baby” does seem at times calmer and sometimes excited by listening to his music depending on the track that is on at the moment. The biggest result I see is he is no longer pulling his feathers out at all. I am not sure what this means but I am happy for it. The music is delightful. I do put the music on at least once a day for Baby. Thank you! " L.F.


"Both my Nanday Conure and my Mitred Conure truly enjoyed Janet Marlow's CD. Ratchet started to sing one of her favorite melodies called "Sing Merry Christmas!" as soon as she heard the first cut on the CD (which meant that she was very happy). My Nanday, Farley, was bopping her head up and down to the music. They really seemed to enjoy the whole CD! Thanks, Janet!"
