Spotify playlist released to help soothe dogs’ travel anxiety
New research from Škoda has revealed that six in 10 dogs become anxious when travelling in the car.
The car manufacturer, as part of their sponsorship of Crufts 2023, has teamed up with Dog Behaviourist and Nutritionist Anna Webb, to create a specialist Spotify playlist called Happy Hounds.
The music tracks included on the list have been scientifically proven to soothe dogs’ travel anxiety.
Dogs can become anxious in cars for many reasons including the space being unfamiliar, hearing unusual sounds from the road and weather, the temperature being too warm in the car, previous bad experiences, and motion sickness.
Pop icon Harry Styles can give himself a round of a-paws after his smash hit Watermelon Sugar made it onto the Spotify playlist. Styles is in good company, as his hit track is joined by songs from both SZA and Rihanna, amongst other music icons. Bob Marley and the Wailers and Adele also feature on the playlist, which launched on 8 March 2023.
