‘A Dog’s Tale’ is a piece of classical music which has been proven to calm, relax and comfort our dogs.
Composed by Iain Jackson, ‘A Dog’s Tale’ is an original classical score, developed in partnership with super premium nutrition brand, EUKANUBA, to help owners and dogs to live life well together.
Not only was ‘A Dog’s Tale’ created to have a calming effect on dogs, in creating the unique score of music, Iain Jackson wanted to tell the story of a dog’s life from puppy into senior years. The music communicates the building blocks at each life stage that can impact on a dog’s nature, personality and overall wellbeing, whilst celebrating the companionship that we have with our dogs.
Performed by a ten-piece string orchestra, the score was tested by EUKANUBA to find out whether classical music can have the same relaxing effect on our dogs, as it does on the human body – with astounding results.
To demonstrate the impact, the music was played to a focus group of dogs of all life stages, across a variety of breeds. Upon listening to the score, the dogs’ pulse rates were reduced on average by an impressive 22%, proving that classical music can in fact relax, calm and comfort our canine friends.
