The Zoundz Lab is Where the Magic Happens

Where the science comes to life

The Zoundz Lab produces a library of proprietary therapeutic sounds, meditations, desensitization sounds, and prescribed programs, composed specifically to reduce stress and anxiety in dogs and cats.

A wide range of channels are available to help calm your pet in stress-inducing situations such as trips to vet, car rides, thunderstorms, being home alone, and more!

An extensive library is carefully curated with species-appropriate tempo, sound frequency, and instrumentation to deliver maximum calming effects.

The work in the Zoundz Lab never stops. As the needs of today’s pets evolve, we seek to continuously improve the efficacy of Zoundz.
