Welcome to "We're All Ears!". I'm Janet Marlow, Founder of Pet Acoustics.
Horses are born listening. As prey animals, their survival has always depended on detecting sound before danger appears. Long before a horse reacts with movement, their nervous system has already scanned the environment acoustically.
A distant footstep.
The creak of a gate.
Wind moving through trees.
These aren’t background noises to a horse. They are signals—each one quietly asking:
Is this safe? Should I stay? Or should I go?

Welcome to We’re All Ears, the podcast dedicated to how animals experience the world through sound, emotion, and connection. I’m Janet Marlow, founder of Pet Acoustics. And today… we’re stepping into the future.

2026 — A New Era of Compassionate Pet Care Because the way we care for pets is changing.
And it’s changing in hopeful, deeply human ways.
If you look at the last decade, pets went from “companions”…
to family. From afterthoughts in healthcare…to emotional priorities in our lives.
2026 represents something powerful:
A world where pet care isn’t only about treatment…
It’s about experience, comfort, emotional well-being, and dignity.
And that shift isn’t technological first.

It’s heart first.

Welcome to We’re All Ears, the podcast dedicated to how animals hear, feel, and live more comfortably in our world.
I’m Janet Marlow, founder of Pet Acoustics, and today’s episode is a special one… because it’s about something deeply emotional, deeply compassionate, and incredibly important for the pets we love.

This is Episode 33:
The Pet Hearing Test Revolution — How Sound Is Transforming Preventive Care for Dogs & Cats

There’s a moment many pet parents experience…
A moment where something changes, and we can’t quite name it.
Maybe your dog doesn’t come running when you call.
Maybe your cat no longer reacts to familiar household sounds.
Maybe they startle more easily…
Or withdraw…
Or cling a little tighter.

And suddenly, you wonder:
Are they ignoring me? Are they confused? Are they aging? Or… is something deeper happening?

Sound is how our pets connect to the world.
It’s how they feel safe.
It’s part of how they love us. Music by Janet Marlow, "Essence"

Hello and welcome to We’re All Ears.
I’m Janet Marlow, Sound Behaviorist and founder of Pet Acoustics.
The holidays are meant to be joyful—but for many pets, they can be confusing, overstimulating, and lonely—especially when they’re left alone.
Today’s episode is about how to support dogs and cats during the holidays when they’re home alone, and how veterinarians can help guide pet parents with simple, effective strategies that truly reduce stress.

Hello everyone, and welcome back to We’re All Ears, the podcast where we tune in to our pets’ world of hearing, behavior, and emotional balance. I’m your host, Janet Marlow, sound behaviorist and creator of the Pet Acoustics species-specific music used by pet parents around the world.

Today’s episode is a special one, because the holiday season is officially here. And while we might love the sparkle, the gatherings, and the excitement… our pets often feel very differently.
Today we’re talking about:

How to soften the sound environment in your home
Why holiday noise triggers anxiety in dogs and cats
And how music can help before, during, and after holiday events
So let’s dive in—because your pet deserves a peaceful holiday, too. Music by Janet Marlow from Jingle Tunes for Pets

Welcome to We’re All Ears, the podcast where we listen beyond words — to the sounds, emotions, and science that connect us to our animals.
I’m Janet Marlow, composer, researcher, and founder of Pet Acoustics — and I’ve spent over two decades exploring how sound affects the behavior and wellbeing of pets.

Today’s episode asks a timeless question:
👉 What is your pet trying to tell you?

We’ll journey through science, emotion, and sound — drawing from research around the world, from the University of Glasgow to Penn Vet, and yes, from our own discoveries here at Pet Acoustics.
Because understanding what our pets hear… changes how we care.

Welcome to We’re All Ears, a podcast by Pet Acoustics, where we explore how sound and emotion shape the lives of animals and the people who love them. I’m your host, and today we’re tuning in to one of the most overlooked spaces in veterinary care—
the lobby.
It’s the first sound your pet hears, and the emotional threshold between stress and calm.
This is The Veterinary Lobby: Where Sound and Emotion Meet.

Welcome to We’re All Ears, the podcast that helps pet parents truly hear their world through the science of sound. I’m Janet Marlow, sound behaviorist, musician, and founder of Pet Acoustics.

But what if I told you that understanding your pet’s hearing and sound environment could actually help reduce stress, prevent health issues, and even minimize vet visits?
Let’s explore how sound—yes, sound—can be one of the most effective, natural ways to support your dog or cat’s long-term health.
