The answer to this question would probably interest many fans of the Swedish music streaming service.
Cool playlists are one of the main advantages of Spotify. There are daily mixes, weekly selections, music based on interests, new releases from favorite artists, and much more. In this regard, the service is always ahead of the competition. If users have a specific playlist need, Spotify takes it into account. When it was discovered that almost 74% of pet owners in the UK play music for their pets, the service introduced the ability to create music selections specifically for animals.
Officially, this function is not yet available in all countries where Spotify operates (and there are almost 200 of them) the page is simply not localized. However, this doesn’t mean it’s unavailable to you. If you want to put together a playlist for your dog, cat, or other pet, here’s how to do it.
Steps to Create a Spotify Pet Playlist
- Log in to Spotify and go to the Pet Playlist page – click the “Let’s go” button.
- Select a pet: dog, cat, hamster, bird, or iguana.
- Use the slider to indicate how active the animal is.
- Use the similar sliders to indicate the friendliness and curiosity of the pet.
- Enter the name of the animal and add its photo.
- The pet’s profile will sync with your music preferences, based on which the playlist will be compiled.
That’s it! Once you’re done, you can save your Spotify playlist for pets and start listening to music with your pet. You will also have the option to share the playlist with others or publish it on your social networks. You can create a playlist through a browser, either on a PC or smartphone. The selection will include several dozen tracks, which can be supplemented with compositions from recommendations.
Why Do Pet Owners Play Music for Their Pets?
According to a Spotify survey, every fourth pet owner plays music for their animal so it doesn’t feel lonely when the owner isn’t at home. Meanwhile, 42% of owners believe their pets even have a favorite musical genre, and another quarter said their pets can dance to music.
What Makes Pet Playlists Unique?
As Spotify explains, pet playlists are “algorithmic playlists” based on user habits and the characteristics of your pet. While pet music isn’t an exact science, Spotify collaborated with musicologist David Teie, a cellist from the American National Symphony Orchestra. Teie has created music for specific species, including two music albums for cats.
During development, the musicologist shared interesting insights. For example, dogs do not respond well to music in a low register, as they perceive it as a threat.
Popularity and Trends
According to Spotify, users primarily use this feature to find the perfect music for their dogs. Searches for the word “puppy” increased by almost 700%! Some of the most popular songs added to pet playlists include:
- “Sugar” by Maroon 5
- “Wolves” by Selena Gomez and Marshmello
- “Roar” by Katy Perry
