Research into dog moods has determined the most relaxing musical genres and TV shows for our furry friends.

Using dog fitness trackers, Betway was able to determine how relaxed or anxious a dog felt while listening to different genres of music and when watching a range of TV shows.

The dog owners were also asked to keep the fitness tracker on their pets overnight to determine how well they slept as well.

Best music for dogs to get a good night's sleep

The research found that folk music was the best genre for dogs to listen to before bedtime with the findings suggesting dogs who listened to this type of music achieved a sleep score of 88%.

One dog achieved a sleep score of 92% as a result of listening to folk tunes.

While classical music was found to cause dogs more anxiety, it ultimately helped them sleep better with dogs scoring a sleep score of 87% when listening to orchestral music.

Heavy metal, however, was found to be the worst type of music for a dog to listen to when trying to get a good night's sleep.

The loud musical genre scored dogs a sleep score of just 76%.
