Your dog is your world and you are everything to your furry friend, but as much as you love your four-legged soulmate, life isn’t always snuggles and snacks. From schedule changes to busy environments, life can be stressful even for your pet.

That’s why Sound Oasis created the Pet Sound Therapy System, a unique Bluetooth sound machine designed to calm anxiety and help your furry friend sleep better. Equipped with 20 built-in soundtracks, the therapy system plays calming music and soothing sounds to block out noise and help your pet relax no matter what they’re facing or what’s happening in their environment.

Sound Oasis is a global leader in the sleep and sound therapy industry. They’re best known for their state-of-the-art sound machines, and the Pet Sound Therapy System is their Bluetooth model designed specifically for pets. Whether your dog is afraid of thunderstorms or your cat struggles with separation anxiety, the therapy system buffers distressing noises and creates a soothing environment for your pet. It even doubles as a Bluetooth speaker for you to stream your own calming music.

Overview

Our Experience

I like playing calming music for my dog, Micah, but I never thought of getting a speaker just for him. That is until I came across Sound Oasis and their Pet Sound Therapy System. Unlike other Bluetooth speakers, the Pet Therapy System comes with a variety of doctor-composed sounds that are made exclusively for pets.

I’ve been using the speaker consistently for a week, and when I say it’s been a game-changer, I’m talking about a night and day difference.

Micah is a high-energy boy who loves to play—he’s the kind of pup who wants my full undivided attention every minute of the day. Since I work from home, he can get restless during work hours and does a very good job of letting me know when he’s bored (he has a routine of bringing me every toy out of his toy bin one by one until he’s emptied the entire bin and scattered toys all over the floor).

I’ve started playing Sound Oasis’ pet music during the day to help him settle down and he’s noticeably calmer. Not only that, but he sleeps like a rock when I have the music on before bed. Even though Micah is generally a good sleeper, he tends to get up a lot throughout the night shifting from his bed to my bed to the floor. When he falls asleep to the music, he’s out like a light and hardly moves.

Along with being highly effective, the device is easy to use. A quick flip-through of the instruction manual was all I needed to get a good understanding of how it works. Some of the buttons have multiple functions (the power button doubles as the pause button), but it has an intuitive design so even if you don’t consider yourself to be tech-savvy, it’s easy to figure out.

The sound quality is amazing as well. I’ve had some speakers (including my phone) where the sound gets muffled as the volume increases, but that’s not the case with this one. The music is clear and the bass is super effective at buffering outside noise–definitely not something I was expecting from such a small device!

So far, I’ve played all 20 soundtracks on the SD card and love them all. Each one creates its own soothing ambiance and there are a few options, like Heartbeat, that are made to comfort your pet. A cool thing you can do on the app is overlay a heartbeat or cat purring over the music and adjust the frequency of the sounds using the equalizer. I’ve tried out both app functions and love having the option to customize the music for Micah.

A speaker is one of those things I didn’t know I needed for Micah. But now that I have one, I use it all the time and I’m looking forward to downloading more sounds for him off Sound Oasis’ website.

Pros & Cons

Key Features

How it Works

Have you ever listened to nature sounds or calming music and felt completely at ease? Like humans, animal brains respond to gentle music by releasing chemicals that tell the body to relax. When this happens, pets enter a restful state that improves their health and helps them sleep better.

The great thing about the pet therapy unit is it comes with built-in soundtracks designed specifically for pet relaxation. Each soundtrack is uniquely composed for the animal ear by a world-renowned music and sleep expert. In the selection, you’ll find calming beats and instrumental music, which help lower stress, and sounds like cat purring and a heartbeat, which are familiar to pets.

What to Expect

The sound machine is a compact unit with a simple design. It arrives with a preloaded SD card already in the unit, so all you need to do is charge the device and turn it on for music to start playing. If you’d prefer to listen to music on the app or play some of your own soothing tunes, there’s a mode button on the bottom of the device to switch the speaker from built-in sounds to Bluetooth-streamed sounds.

On a full charge, you can play music wirelessly for several hours or leave it plugged in for unlimited listening.

SD Card and Pet Therapy App

Along with streaming your own music via Bluetooth, Sound Oasis offers customizable sound cards and a free app for you to use. When the product arrives, it’ll have an SD card with 20 preloaded made-for-pet sounds, but you can customize and purchase additional cards on Sound Oasis’s website.

The second way to access soundtracks is through the Pet Therapy App. The app is free to download and has several features including:

About Sound Oasis

Is the Pet Sound Therapy System a Good Value?

I found the sound machine to be a great value. The unit is durable, the sound quality is amazing, and the device is cost-effective when looking at similar products. Unlike other sound machines, Sound Oasis’ Pet System doubles as a Bluetooth speaker and comes with unlimited sound customization, so you can personalize the music to your liking and your pet’s preference.

In short, you get a lot of great features for the price, and many of the features you get with Sound Oasis, you can’t find with other products, making it a great value.

How We Tested

I started out playing music off the sound card. Since the SD card was already in the device when it arrived, all I had to do was turn the speaker on for music to play. After a few days, I started switching between the built-in sounds, soundtracks on the app, and soothing music from my phone. Out of the three options, I found the built-in sounds to be the easiest simply because everything is set up and ready to go with the press of a button. And honestly, if you’re in a rush, on the road, or don’t have music of your own to stream, the preloaded sounds are great.

I mostly use the device in the house and like playing music for Micah throughout the day and before bed at night. But if your pup is anxious in the car, the machine is compact, lightweight, and easy enough to pack up and take with you during travel.
