Man Creates Music for Pets and Becomes Internet Sensation
Amman Ahmed has gained popularity by making music for cats, dogs, and even hamsters, with his YouTube channels accumulating over a billion views.
Pioneering the Idea of Music for Pets
Amman Ahmed, a man based in the US, has become an internet sensation by creating music specifically for pets. He runs two YouTube channels, RelaxMyDog and RelaxMyCat, which have garnered almost two million and 870,000 subscribers respectively. Ahmed came up with the idea of making music for pets after receiving feedback from owners about how his music helped relax their animals.
During the pandemic, many pets developed separation anxiety as they became accustomed to spending an excessive amount of time with their owners who were working from home. Ahmed tapped into this post-pandemic trend and provided music that alleviated anxiety in pets.
Initially, Ahmed started making music to help people with insomnia. However, a friend suggested trying it on a dog, leading him to experiment with different ideas. Through trial and error, he eventually developed dozens of playlists specifically designed to relax cats and dogs.
The Creative Process Driven by Four-Legged Listeners
In the early stages, there was limited scientific research available on the effects of music on animals. Ahmed and his team made different tracks and observed the reactions of the pets. They gathered invaluable information from dog owners and the dogs themselves to refine their music.
By producing different frequencies and types of music, Ahmed and his team found their way to compositions that resonated with animals. They relied on the feedback from pet owners and the animals themselves to continuously improve the quality and effectiveness of their music.
The success of their music for pets led Ahmed to establish a company called Music For Pets in the UK. It gained traction and popularity before being acquired by a US music distribution and rights company.
Music for Pets: Providing Comfort and Healing
The popularity of Music For Pets has grown to the point where it has amassed a community of loyal fans. Numerous testimonials have poured in, with pet owners expressing how the music has helped their animals with anxiety and even during difficult times like funerals.
One heartwarming message Ahmed received was from a person whose dog had passed away. They wanted to use the music as a way to remember and honor their pet during the dog's funeral.
The subscription-based service costs $4.99 per month, and it boasts an impressive following of over 42 million animals who have tuned in to the soothing melodies.
