Ever noticed how some pets seem calmer in certain stores? It’s not just the environment—it’s the music. In Malaysia’s growing pet retail scene, grooming salons and pet stores like PLC Pet Lovers Centre are recognising the calming effects of music on animals
Scientific research supports this. A study by the University of Glasgow in collaboration with the Scottish SPCA found that classical and reggae music significantly lowered stress levels in dogs by reducing their heart rates and barking frequency (Bowman et al., 2017). In a retail or grooming environment, where unfamiliar sounds and smells can be overwhelming, soft instrumental or slow-tempo music provides a reassuring background.
Musixmusix offers a pet-calming playlist category designed specifically to reduce anxiety in animals during grooming, medical check-ups, or even just browsing time. It’s not just about the pets — it creates a more pleasant experience for pet owners too.
Music in pet stores isn’t just for the animals – it plays a huge role in shaping the shopping experience for their owners as well. A relaxed environment makes customers feel more at ease, increasing their likelihood of browsing longer and spending more.
In stores like PLC Pet Lovers Centre, music serves as an invisible but essential part of the customer journey. Bright, mid-tempo tracks in the afternoon can energise the space and make interactions feel lively and positive, while lower-tempo, soothing music in grooming zones encourages trust and calmness.
Pet owners in Malaysia increasingly treat their pets like family. A warm, pleasant soundscape reinforces that emotional connection. Musixmusix helps pet businesses strike the right balance — so the store feels friendly and welcoming, without overwhelming sensitive ears (human or otherwise).
Event-based playlists — whether upbeat, cheerful tunes for pet fairs or gentle instrumentals for quiet adoption corners — enhance the mood and make the space feel lively yet safe. For example, during an adoption campaign at PLC Pet Lovers Centre, ambient acoustic tracks helped reduce overstimulation for pets while encouraging customers to interact calmly.
Musixmusix supports custom campaign playlists for pet retailers across Malaysia. Whether your store is launching a new product line, hosting a community drive, or celebrating International Pet Day, music can set the tone. With flexible broadcasting hours and automated controls, it’s easy to manage — even during high foot traffic events.
