Portland, Maine – September 2007 – Pet Originals is proud to announce the release of Paws to Relax, a compact disc recording of beautiful, original music designed to nurture the bond between pets and their parents by creating a relaxed environment where they can reduce stress together.

The music of Paws to Relax is completely original and designed for your pup’s sense of sound. Enriched with ambient, subtle nature sounds, Paws to Relax is an experience you will want to savor. Extensive research and clinical trials prove that listening to calming music reduces stress, improves mood, aids overall health and promotes longevity for both pets and people.

Paws to Relax songs include; “Sonata in K-9”, “Bone-a-Fide Bliss” and “Pup’s Paradise”. All the musical compositions take the listeners on a journey of fun and relaxation.

The story of Paws to Relax can be traced back to when Philip DuBois, Pet Originals founder, noticed that his puppy Romeo would curl up next to the stereo speakers any time there was calm, soothing music being played. Philip and Romeo began to relax together and both would instantly exhibit thorough contentment and maintain good disposition for hours. Their relationship grew stronger each day and Philip, a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music and a 20-year music industry veteran, began composing special original melodies and fine-tuning the sonic qualities that Romeo found appealing. The result was a full-length CD for pups & people.

“I am thrilled to be part of this ground breaking project,” said Angela Smith, Los Angeles music producer and executive producer for Paws to Relax. “Our album is the first of its kind to promote wellness through togetherness. We are strengthening the human-animal bond through beautiful music and that’s what sets us apart!”

Paws to Relax is an attractive, stylish, upscale product with a contemporary look that will appeal to pets and their parents of all ages. Its purpose is to encourage people to take time out of their hectic schedules and rejuvenate with their special friend.

Enhance the life you share with your pup. Find wellness through togetherness and return the gift of unconditional love.
