The Ryder Cup is becoming "the biggest one-off weekend in sport", branding bosses have claimed as rivals America and Europe join forces to offer new global commercial deals worth in excess of £200 million.

Ryder Cup Europe and the PGA are breaking with tradition by combining efforts to lure new worldwide sponsors, a move which industry experts predict will sent profits surging for golf's most popular showpiece. Record numbers are due to follow the action at Le Golf National, near Paris, from Friday, with 14million Britons following this year's match, according to market research.

We tend to assume that what we like, our animals must like, that’s why we give them sweets, dress them and groom them (although not the other way around, we do not eat their cookies or lick our genitals, although this last one by disability than anything else).

In the case of music, I am sure that we are right, that our animals also like it. 

There are abundant studies, praising the high value of music therapy in animals. 

In fact, anyone who has lived with animals and played music at the same time will have verified the fact. The music has for dogs, cats and pets (farm) in general an impressive reassuring effect.

In fact, that is the primary application of animal music therapy: to calm the animal and combat the stressful situations of its day to day. 

Helps to relax aggressive or hyperactive pets, and tolerate better when the owner leaves the house or visit the veterinarian.

 There are compositions created specifically for this purpose, although it is a matter of using music as an educational element.

There is music created specifically for pets

Music calms animals or the savage beast as they say, but we can also take advantage of music as a playful and entertaining expression. 

Try to “sing” or “dance” with your pet, you may get more than one surprise; dogs are especially prone to follow and accompany the melodious and rhythmic sounds made by their owners.

It is said that classical music is the one they like the most; but I do not know who done the survey. 

It will be because they do not know my cat, who loves the rock steady and the ska of the first era, although I’ve also caught him putting in some other progressive rock album of the seventies from time to time. 

In short, they are new age discs specifically created for them, whether they are classical compositions, or contemporary popular music, I encourage you to do the test with your favorite animals. 

Do not put headphones on them, just put on music and watch them; You will see how music acts as a stimulation that can serve to calm and make our pets happier.

Funny accessories for pets

Funny accessories for pets:

We love them, and in many cases we humanize them to almost ridiculous limits with accessories for pets.

Our pets are part of our lives and we attribute human qualities and weaknesses of our species, although in some cases, the passage of time and the influence of man.

We have an example in dogs and their sweaters. It is totally true that in the wild, we will never see a dog dressed in clothes, but we were not going to see some species of warm climates, walking through central London in January, for example.

Let it Rain, let it rain

And from the jersey to other accessories there is only one step. Have you noticed dogs with umbrellas? 

An umbrella for dogs? what will they think of next?

Yes, it is totally comical, but surely who buys it thinks that your dog will be much better if it does not get wet and you do not need to bathe it when you get home or dry it thoroughly so it does not rub against each sofa.

Perhaps this device can save a lot of time for its owners, although we are not quite sure how it will resist the gusts of wind.

Another of the funniest accessories we have seen in recent times are the carts for dogs. 

It is true that many of us tell our dog or cat that “come with mom” or “come with dad” in a gesture of affection that those who do not have animals think it’s funny. But from there to walk them in a cart … whats next people?.

Sports accessories for pets

And there are those who take them out for a ride in a cart and there are those who worry about doing the proper exercise, for example hanging a precious pedometer in the form of a bone from their collar. 

In this way, when we go out for a walk, we will see if the dog has burned enough calories and if it is time to go home or we have to go around the block one more time.

In some pet pages, they offer funny earmuffs for dogs and cats, so that winter is not so bad for them. 

They can be fun, but how will the animal feel with something since it is limiting one of its most important senses?
