Why does this matter? Because when you have an excessively anxious dog who falls silent, you want to know why they are silent, but you also don’t want to disturb them if they have finally settled down. Seriously, has anyone other than me EVER tried out dog beds? Honestly, I go into the store, I lay on them myself and 99.9% are little more than a couple of blanket’s worth of padding. For dogs like Jet, with heart disease, getting hot means exacerbating his heart condition which is already exacerbated by his anxiety. Few pet products for anxiety focus on the fact that when dogs get worked up with anxiety, they get HOT. By quieting fearful sounds before adding a soothing sound, it makes for less of a cacophony of noise which can be frightening and overstimulating. Music helps to drown out scary noises for anxious dogs, but at the same time, it’s a process of drowning out noise with more noise. It uses sound and sound technology to drown out fearful noises before covering them up.It doesn’t have a door, so the dog (like Jet) who is afraid of confinement, doesn’t experience increased anxiety before finding any comfort.It then updates the music played in the crate according to your dog’s behavior. The algorithm of the crate technology learns about your dog’s behavior. Still want more? The Zen Dog Crate works with a smartphone app, so you can not only view your dog in the crate when you aren’t there, but you can also control the features of the crate from your phone. If that wasn’t enough, it has proximity sensors that turn on the fan and music features when your dog enters the crate. The Zen Dog Crate is a wooden crate that has a memory foam bed inside, noise canceling features built into its construction, vibration absorption, a fan in the ceiling, a music feature, and a camera inside. Okay, so back to the crate… Zen Dog Crate Features I don’t know if the Zen Dog Crate is the answer to finding Jet’s zen, but it’s the first anxiety solution for dogs that makes sense. I don’t know if Jet has ever actually known “zen”, but the thought of him having the opportunity to know it before the end of his days arrives…well, it makes me cry. So, the Zen Dog Crate is a crate that was built with anxious dogs in mind. I watched the video, and, I maybe even cried a little bit. So, when I saw an ad for the Zen Dog Crate today on my Facebook feed, I stopped.
