Welcome to We’re All Ears, the podcast where we explore sound, science, and wellness for the animals we love. I’m Janet Marlow, founder of Pet Acoustics. Today, we’re talking about a very common challenge for pet parents: the anxiety dogs and cats experience when families go back to work and school after the summer.

The Transition
After months of having everyone at home, pets get used to the constant companionship—walks on demand, extra playtime, and being surrounded by their favorite humans. Suddenly, routines shift. The house becomes quiet, doors close behind their people, and for many pets, this feels unsettling.

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.

Welcome to We’re All Ears, the podcast where we listen with heart — to our pets, to science, and to the rhythms of wellness. I’m Janet Marlow, sound behaviorist and creator of Pet Acoustics+. Today, we’re diving into a vital topic that affects every animal we love: stress — what it does to the body, how it leads to illness, and why calm isn’t just a feeling — it’s a prescription for better health.

Welcome back to We’re All Ears, the podcast dedicated to sound wellness for pets. I’m your host, Janet Marlow, founder of Pet Acoustics.

Today, we’re diving into a topic important to many pet parents: canine seizures and how sound, specifically through the Pet Acoustics+ App, can provide immediate comfort and support recovery. Seizures often hit unexpectedly. While the ictal phase may be brief, the anxiety and disorientation that follow—the post‑ictal phase—can linger for hours. During that time, providing a calming environment is crucial.

Welcome to We’re All Ears, the podcast for nurturing calm, happy lives for your pets. I’m your host, Janet Marlow, sound behaviorist and founder of Pet Acoustics. Today we’re diving into a surprising question: Do cats get separation anxiety?

The answer is yes — and the science is fascinating. For a long time, separation anxiety was thought to be primarily a canine issue. But recent studies have shown that cats, too, form deep attachment bonds with their humans.

Welcome to We’re All Ears, the podcast that listens deeply — for you and your pets. I’m Janet Marlow, founder of Pet Acoustics, and today we’re diving into a question many pet parents never think to ask: Is your dog truly resting… or are they quietly stressed? But here’s something most people don’t realize stillness doesn’t always mean calm. Many dogs appear relaxed while actually holding tension. Elevated heart rate. Shallow breathing. Muscles in a light freeze. It's a silent state of alertness, what we call quiet stress. So how do we know what’s really going on inside our dog’s body? The answer begins with understanding what your dog hears.

Hello and welcome to another episode of "We’re All Ears," where we bring sound science into the heart of pet care.
Today’s episode is especially close to home for anyone with an older dog or cat: what to watch for as pets age, particularly around hearing health and managing stress through scientifically validated sound therapy.

It’s often overlooked, but hearing loss is a silent issue in senior pets. According to veterinary studies, including data published in the International Animal Health Journal, approximately 20% of senior dogs experience undetected hearing loss. Feline hearing decline, though less visible, follows a similar trend.
