Research shows that calming music significantly reduces stress in animals. It's Guy Fawkes tomorrow here in New Zealand, and our kitty cowers at the sound of the booms and cracks 😤 So when I heard on RNZ this morning that they were running a dedicated concert for animals, music to my ears. 🎉🐾 From a service design perspective, this initiative is brilliant. Here’s why it works: 🎶 Targeted experience: RNZ is addressing a specific need—helping animals feel safe and calm during a stressful time. By offering a dedicated concert, they’re creating an environment that caters specifically to pets’ anxieties. 🐕 Science-backed solutions: Research shows that calming music significantly reduces stress in animals. RNZ leverages this insight to create a soothing audio experience, which enhances the overall well-being of our pets. 🌟 Community connection: This event fosters a sense of community among pet owners. It’s not just about the music; it’s about bringing us together to support our furry friends, making us feel less alone during the festivities. Out of the box thinking 👏 Emotional connection we share with our pets 👏 Awareness of types of listeners 👏

It’s that time of year again and what would the fourth of July be without fireworks and happy gatherings? This holiday is a great way to connect with family and friends, but what about our fur babies? Many dread the 4th because the loud noises that come with this holiday are hard on our pets, and it’s heartbreaking! “Fireworks, picnics and other Fourth of July traditions can be great fun for people; but all of the festivities can be frightening and even dangerous for animals” according to the AVMA. The noise from the loud booms and pops, and flashing lights, can trigger them causing anxiety or extreme stress.

Welcoming autumn with a meaningful apple-picking get-together in Steinsel! This event isn’t just about picking apples—it’s about stepping away from the virtual world and reconnecting with each other and nature. We’ll also be doing our part in the fight against food waste, ensuring nothing goes unused as we #celebrate the season’s bounty. It’s a moment to honor #traditions, teach the next generation—the future stewards—and remind ourselves of the importance of keeping these #values alive. As we approach the end-of-year festivities, let’s make it a priority to connect in real life, nurture our bonds, and create meaningful moments together.
