New application plays pets' music

Pet Acoustics is an application for the iPhone or iPod Touch that plays music designed to enhance the well-being of cats, dogs and horses.

The music was selected with consideration for the frequencies in the animals' hearing ranges and the rhythms and volume levels that appeal to them. It's designed to soothe them in stressful situations such as thunderstorms, vet visits and car travel, or just to enhance the interaction between pets and their people.

Timers can be set to play the music at designated times.

Pet Acoustics can be downloaded for $1.99 at iTunes or www.PetAcoustics.com. — Mary Beth Breckenridge
