The Pet Playlist is reportedly based on musicology research and a pet-focused survey that Spotify conducted, so the music will hopefully not spook your pets.

How to make a Spotify Pet Playlist

The Pet Playlist is made on your computer or phone, outside of the Spotify app.

  1. First, go to  and click Let's Go.
    • Here, you'll be asked to log into your Spotify account.
  2. Pick what kind of pet you have, and then click Next.
    • You can choose a dog, cat, iguana, hamster, or bird - if you're pet species isn't available, pick the closest related animal.
  3. Use the sliders to describe your pet's personality.
    • You can pick between Relaxed or Energetic, Shy or Friendly and Apathetic or Curious.
  4. Lastly, type in your pet's name.
