Sound Oasis Pet Sound Therapy System Review 2025: Vet Approved Benefits & Our Verdict

Life’s more fun and exciting when you live with an energetic dog. However, finding ways to calm them down is a common challenge that involves creative solutions. Sound therapy is one creative method proven to help some dogs manage their anxiety and hyperreactivity.

Sound Oasis has been creating sleep and sound therapy products since 1993. They have a notable team of doctors with decades of experience in sleep and sound research. Along with making sound machines, Sound Oasis produces sound samples that are scientifically proven to promote relaxation and sleep.

While I usually welcome my dog’s playful antics, I also work from home and need my dog to remain calm while I work and log into meetings. I was ready to try out a new product that could soothe my dog and prevent me from getting distracted from work.

I tested out the Sound Oasis Pet Sound Therapy System, which had a noticeably positive effect on my dog’s reactivity. Despite its small size, the Sound Oasis Pet Sound Therapy System has convenient features and high-quality sound options. My review is here to provide everything you need to know about the Pet Sound Therapy System and how you and your dog can benefit from using it.

Overview

Our Experience

While sound therapy isn’t the silver bullet for anxiety or hyperreactivity in dogs, it can help them stay calm when incorporated into a healthy lifestyle routine. My Cavapoo Nora has previously shown a positive response to other forms of sound therapy, so I was looking forward to testing out the Sound Oasis Pet Sound Therapy System. I wanted to see how it would compare to other sound machines I’ve used.

Despite being 10 years old, Nora remains easily excitable. The tiniest noise can pique her interest and cause her to start barking. I’ve had to come up with many different ideas to manage her hyperreactivity, and this became especially important when I started working from home. I couldn’t have a dog that started barking at every little noise made both inside and outside the house.

I’ve used several different sound therapy devices, and I have to say that I’m quite impressed with the Sound Oasis Pet Sound Therapy System. The first thing that I noticed was the superior sound quality. Other sound machines I’ve used often start to buzz or hum once they exceed a certain volume. This sound machine consistently emitted clear, high-quality sounds that made it pleasant for both Nora and me to listen to.

I spent time testing out each of the 20 built-in sounds. I appreciated how they all played continuously for 8 hours without any gaps of silence. The nature sounds, including rain, streams, and woodlands, seemed to be the most effective in masking outdoor noises. Nora was less likely to pick up on noises and start barking. The ambient sounds were all very calming and soothing, but they didn’t really seem to mask other sounds. There were several times when Nora would wake up from a noise and start barking or whining.

Another notable feature was its Bluetooth connection. It does take some time to manually toggle between the different built-in sounds when using the sound machine’s buttons. So, the Pet Therapy By Sound Oasis mobile app was a game changer for convenience. Connecting to the sound machine via Bluetooth was a quick and straightforward process. The app also had a user-friendly interface, and I could easily switch between sounds and adjust the volume with just a couple of swipes.

The only minor inconvenience I experienced with the Pet Sound Therapy System was the battery life and charging time. When completely charged, the sound machine could play sounds for a little under 5 hours. It took about 30 minutes of charging for the sound machine to operate after being completely depleted, and it took about 3 hours to fully charge a drained battery. This could cause an inconvenience for days when you have to leave your dog at home for over 5 hours. Fortunately, the sound machine still works when it’s charging and can play sounds for much longer than 5 hours when plugged in.

Overall, I would recommend the Sound Oasis Pet Sound Therapy System to anyone interested in trying out sound therapy with their pets. Because it’s convenient and easy to use, it provides a positive experience for first-time users. The many different sound options enable people to experiment and discover sounds that effectively calm and soothing their dogs.

About Sound Oasis

Is the Sound Oasis Pet Sound Therapy System a Good Value?

Considering its Bluetooth capabilities, portability, and wide range of sound options, the Pet Sound Therapy System is a good value. It may be slightly more expensive than other sound machines of its size, but most of these sound machines don’t have Bluetooth and other wireless features. Many also don’t have a rechargeable battery and must remain plugged in and stationary at all times.

You can experience additional savings throughout the year, as Sound Oasis regularly offers discounts to customers. You can also register your product online to receive discounts on other Sound Oasis products.

How We Tested

It’s important to note that I tested the Sound Oasis Pet Sound Therapy System on a dog with previous exposure to sound therapy. Because of Nora’s sensitivity to noises, I used sound therapy in her puppyhood to help her to remain calm when she hears thunderstorms, fireworks, sirens, and other loud, distressing noises. Therefore, she’s already used to hearing white noise and nature sounds, and she associates these sounds with calmness and relaxation.

I used my previous sound machine to compare the Pet Sound Therapy System’s performance. I tested out the Pet Sound Therapy System for a week and kept an eye out for any noticeable differences in Nora. Other than switching products, I kept everything else the same. There weren’t any changes in Nora’s routine, and I placed the Pet Sound Therapy System in the same location as my previous sound machine.

The Verdict

The Sound Oasis Pet Sound Therapy System performed equally well as the system I have been successfully using in the past, but didn’t have any noticeably different effects on Nora. For me, the benefits of the Sound Oasis product are about the interface and ease of use, rather than it having any vastly different effects on my dog.

Using the Sound Oasis Pet Sound Therapy System helped both me and my dog share a relaxing space where she can sleep and I can get on with my day.
