Welcome to We’re All Ears, the podcast dedicated to how animals hear, feel, and live more comfortably in our world.
I’m Janet Marlow, founder of Pet Acoustics, and today’s episode is a special one… because it’s about something deeply emotional, deeply compassionate, and incredibly important for the pets we love.

This is Episode 33:
 The Pet Hearing Test Revolution — How Sound Is Transforming Preventive Care for Dogs & Cats

There’s a moment many pet parents experience…
 A moment where something changes, and we can’t quite name it.
Maybe your dog doesn’t come running when you call.
 Maybe your cat no longer reacts to familiar household sounds.
 Maybe they startle more easily…
 Or withdraw…
 Or cling a little tighter.

And suddenly, you wonder:
 Are they ignoring me? Are they confused? Are they aging? Or… is something deeper happening?

Sound is how our pets connect to the world.
 It’s how they feel safe.
 It’s part of how they love us.       Music by Janet Marlow, "Essence"
