Simple reminder today!
Our animals have 3-7x better hearing than humans.
This is why so many pets are afraid of thunder, fireworks, gun shots, etc.
This is also why we, as guardians, need to be mindful of our voice. If you yell at your pet , or someone else in the house, it is REALLY REALLY loud and scary to them.
If you play your music loud in the car it bothers their ears. We all love a great song, windows down, sun shining, but if you have an animal in the car with you, please don’t turn the volume up. The same goes for the music in the house, the Tv, Etc.
Living in loud environments can cause unnecessary anxiety and stress for pets. Pets that are (what we think) hyper sensitive and hyper reactive to loud noises and sounds, really are not that way at all. They just have much more sensitive ears than we do. Something we all know, but forget to take into consideration on a daily basis.
Their ears are so sensitive.
Living with animals responsibly and lovingly means adjusting our lives, our houses for their comfort since they are the ones that are the dependents. It is our job to make our world easier and happier for them.
