Pet Owners Turn to YouTube Calming Channels for New Year’s Fireworks

Specialist-designed soundscapes with steady low frequencies help buffer sudden noise for animals with far more sensitive hearing.

Overview

  • Argentine outlets highlight a surge in caregivers using dedicated streams to ease pets’ stress during year‑end pyrotechnics.
  • Popular options include Relax My Dog and Relax My Cat with 24‑hour live sessions, plus Pet Relaxation and Calm Your Dog.
  • These tracks favor white noise, brown noise and low, constant frequencies to reduce the contrast between silence and explosions.
  • Experts advise starting playback at least 30 minutes before fireworks, keeping volume steady and setting up an indoor refuge with windows shut and blinds lowered.
  • Reports note fireworks can trigger extreme fear, trembling, tachycardia and escape attempts in pets, and awareness campaigns continue to urge festivities without pyrotechnics.
