Hello and welcome to We’re All Ears.I’m Janet Marlow—and today’s episode is especially for the veterinarians, technicians, practice owners, and mobile clinicians who are asking one very real question right now:How do we scale our veterinary services… without burning out our teams or compromising care? Today, I want to share how clinics are using sound therapy and hearing health—through Pet Acoustics Inc.—as a practical, workflow-friendly way to grow. Not as a “nice extra.” But as real clinical infrastructure.Why scaling today looks different When most people hear the word scale, they think:More rooms. More appointments. More staff.But in real clinics, the biggest barrier to growth isn’t space.It’s stress.Stress in the patient. Stress in the room. Stress in the team.An anxious animal slows everything down: handling takes longer, more people are needed in the room, safety risks increase, and emotionally… it’s exhausting.

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?

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.

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"

I’m Janet Marlow, sound behaviorist, musician, and founder of Pet Acoustics.Today, we’re diving into one of the biggest concerns for pet parents today—the rising cost of veterinary care. It’s on everyone’s mind. 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.
Welcome to We’re All Ears, the podcast that explores how animals hear, behave, and thrive through sound. I’m Janet Marlow, animal sound behaviorist, composer, and founder of Pet Acoustics.Today, we’re talking about something that every cat parent knows all too well — getting your cat to the veterinarian. The carrier, the car ride, the waiting room — it can all add up to stress for both of you.

Welcome to We’re All Ears, the podcast where we explore how sound shapes the wellness and emotions of animals. I’m Janet Marlow, founder of Pet Acoustics and an animal sound behaviorist.Today, we’re stepping inside the veterinary exam room to explore the next evolution in pet wellness — hearing health.For decades, veterinarians have listened to hearts, checked eyes and teeth, palpated joints — yet one vital sense has often gone unexamined: hearing.
Welcome back to We’re All Ears, the podcast dedicated to helping pets live calmer, healthier lives through the science of sound. I’m your host, Janet Marlow, sound behaviorist and founder of Pet Acoustics.Today, we’re focusing on a subject that often goes overlooked: hearing health in cats. Cats are masters of concealment—when it comes to illness or sensory decline, they’re far more subtle than dogs. This makes hearing loss and auditory stress particularly easy to miss. (Music by Janet Marlow)
Welcome back to We’re All Ears, the podcast dedicated to helping pets live calmer, healthier lives through the power of sound. I’m your host, Janet Marlow, and today we’re talking about a challenge that so many of us face: street reactivity on a walk.Street reactivity happens when a dog suddenly reacts to a trigger, another dog passing by, a skateboard rolling past, or a loud truck rattling down the street. What feels like background noise to us can feel overwhelming to them. Remember, dogs hear at frequencies almost twice as high as humans, which means their world is filled with layers of sound we don’t even notice. ( Music by Janet Marlow)

The truth is, hearing loss is more common than many realize. But with awareness, the right steps, and a bit of creativity, you can help your pet adapt and continue to thrive. ©Music by Janet Marlow
Welcome to We’re All Ears, the podcast where we explore how sound shapes the lives of animals and deepens our bond with them. I’m Janet Marlow, sound behaviorist, composer, and founder of Pet Acoustics.

Well… birds can actually do this.Hi, I’m Janet Marlow, sound behaviorist and founder of Pet Acoustics. In this episode of We’re All Ears, we’re going to step into the world of birds—how they hear, why their ears are so different, and the superpower they have that we humans can only dream of: regenerating hearing.By the end, you’ll not only know more about your feathered neighbors, but you’ll also see how studying them could shape the future of hearing health—for pets, for people, and for our understanding of sound itself.
Photograph by Jonno Rattman Welcome to We’re All Ears, the podcast where we explore the fascinating ways that sound shapes the lives of animals and the people who care for them. I’m Janet Marlow, and today I want to share something very close to my heart—my journey of pioneering a new field of sound therapy and hearing health for animals.You know, people often ask me how I came to develop music specifically for pets—music based on frequency. And honestly, it was never something I set out to do at the very beginning. My background has always been in music. I spent years as a composer and performer, studying the nuance of sound, harmony, and vibration. But along the way, I began to notice something fascinating: the way animals responded to sound was not only real, but profound.
Welcome back to We’re All Ears, where we explore sound, science, and the wellness of the animals we love. I’m Janet Marlow, founder of Pet Acoustics. Today, we’re diving into the fascinating world of doodles — those curly-coated, lovable dogs that have taken the pet world by storm. But here’s the question: when you meet one on the street, do you really know what you’re looking at? Picture this: you’re out for a walk and see a fluffy, happy pup bounding along. Someone says, “Oh, this is Bella — she’s a doodle.” But what does that mean? Is she a Labradoodle? A Goldendoodle? A Bernedoodle? Maybe even a Sheepadoodle? The truth is, “doodle” has become a catch-all for a wide variety of poodle crosses. From the standard to the mini, the genetics can mix into a rainbow of sizes, coats, and personalities. That’s why when you meet a doodle on the street, it’s nearly impossible to guess its lineage.
Welcome to We’re All Ears, where science meets the art of listening for the animals we love. I’m Janet Marlow, sound behaviorist and founder of Pet Acoustics. Today, we’re heading into the stables to explore how horses hear the world, and how sound when designed just for them can calm, focus, and improve their well-being.We’ll also take you behind the scenes of a groundbreaking project I had the privilege to create the Boehringer Ingelheim Relax Trax initiative along with peer-reviewed research published in the Journal of Equine Science and a University of Lublin study that measured exactly how Pet Acoustics’ music impacts horses."
