The same applied to several cats with a history of being tough. They relaxed as well. Dr. Bob Beede Intermountain Pet Hospital PLLC Lots of pets have anxiety when left alone or during a thunderstorm. The Ultra Calmer emits very calming music which is supposed to be scientifically proven to actually relax them. Play Pet Tunes when you're not there.

What they say Pet Owners Great product, it really calms my puppy. I keep it on when she's in the crate. Loved it so much, we bought a second one for home. We use this in our doggie day and boarding facility. Highly recommend this product! Love this product, small enough to use in the car when we travel to help the dogs be calm and stress-free. I have never written a product review before, but I wanted to let everyone know how amazing this is. If anyone has a nervous dog who pants, paces, and barks please think about this product. This works so well that I have two in case one needs to be recharged and Winston is still needing the comfort he gets from the collar. I am delighted with the results 13
What they say Retailers I own 3 doggie daycares and pet hotels in Chicago. We use Pet Acoustics music for the animals to enjoy.
