Music For Your Pets to Relax & Enjoy

Other than the good treatment you receive at spas, what else relaxes you? The music you're hearing, of course!

Well, you can now do that at home with your pets!  Produced by New World Music, which is the world's biggest supplier of the Mind, Body & Soul music - Healing music is suitable for healing and relaxing all types of animals including horses, dogs, cats, small furries and even birds.

An animal is more sensitive than humans, hence they are influenced by the sounds around them. Research has shown that animals’ moods can be influenced by music and some types of music can help to reduce stress.

Margrit Coates is a world renowned animal healer and she recognized the need to produce music composed specially for animals and which is sympathetic to their environment.

My dogs can attest to that – they love the music and they listen to it everyday; it’s relaxing and it helps to calm them.  Whenever you take your furry one out for a car ride, just pop in the CD and your ride will be much more enjoyable!


The following Music for Animals CDs are available on sale at $28 each (including postage).

This is what some owners have to say about the music for their pets:

 

"The music is ultra relaxing and calming not only for Cinder but for myself too! Whenever Cinder refuses to sleep, I'd put on the CD and she will go to her pillow immediately to enjoy the music, lulling her to sleep. I strongly recommend the CDs with the collection, you are spoilt for choice!" - Angeline, Pet Owner

"I would strongly recommend these music wellness CDs for pets as the music is very soothing and relaxing for them, which helps them fall sleep easily.  I even listen to it with my pets and play the CD in my car for my customers' pets, easing their stress and this is much appreciated by their owners.  This is a must have CD for all pet owners." - Lawrence, Pet Owner and Pet Transporter

Music for Pets

Pets and horses can benefit from the healing sounds of music in a similar way to humans.  Studies with animals and music have shown that some types of sound can be unsettling for animals, whilst other types of music can be calming for them.

The music on this CD has been especially composed as suitable for playing to all animals. The senses of animals are much more sensitive than those of humans therefore this music does not contain any sounds known to be unpleasant for pets and horses. 

The whole album is designed as a healing and relaxing chill-out experience for the animals that you love.

Music for Pets - Connecting With Animals

Connecting with animals takes place when we tune into them via our minds and hearts.  Animals communicate with us all the time but humans often ignore this way of being or misunderstand what they are saying. 

When we activate our sixth sense, or intuition, then we can hear what animals say to us, and learn how to help them.  Margrit Coates has commissioned this relaxing album to share with your four legged friends, so that they can guide you to a place of deeper awareness.

Music to share with your four legged friends.

Music for Pets - Animal Healing

An animal's senses are much more sensitive than a human's and they are influenced by the sounds around them.  Research has shown that animals' moods can be influenced by music - some types can help to reduce stress whilst others can cause tension.

This album of soothing music doesn't contain any noises which animals would find unsettling and aims to provide peaceful sound energy for them.  Most importantly this unique music is aimed at connecting and synchronising with the animal chakras to help physical and emotional healing.

As you listen to this music it will help to link your own heart chakra to your pet or horse, taking you on a soul - level healing experience together.

Beautiful Music for Animal Healing and Relaxation.

Saved from the Ghetto

Updates:On Saturday, 19 Nov when we visited our dogs at the shelter, we understand from the volunteers that Sox was feeling miserable. Hearing such words hurts our hearts to hear that a dog is unhappy. We went to visit Sox and she was locked up in the kennel with another dog and she did look sad and we decided to take her into our shelter since 2 dogs have found home and we had a space for Sox.

Our policy at the shelter is that we can only take in a new dog when a dog at the shelter has been rehomed - or else the place will be over crowded and the dogs will get frustrated due to space constraints. The number of dogs rescued from the shelter that was closed down is ten.

On Sunday, 30 October - Zeus Communications rescued nine dogs from being put down. The owner of a shelter has been struggling financially for some time now and could barely afford the upkeep of the dogs under her care. For the last 3 months, we have been providing her 14 shelter dogs with bags of dry food.

Unfortunately, the shelter had to close and the dogs were scheduled to be put down by the end of October. Thanks to our dedicated volunteers, the dogs have escaped their unfortunate fate, and have moved in with our shelter’s dogs. They are currently undergoing rehabilitation and it gives us a chance to get to know the dogs better so that they can be rehomed.

Initially, we were worried that the dogs would not get along with those in our shelter. Amazingly, after we had communicated with the dogs and told them that they need to share the space and live in harmony, they seemed to understand. So far, they have adhered to our rule of “No Fighting Allowed” and are living together as friends. Dogs know when their fur friends are on death row and they somehow welcome them with open hearts and accept them as members of the families. 

Many times, when we are at the shelter playing and attending to our dogs – our neighbour’s dogs will look across the fence and say “Hey! You guys are having so much fun – how we wish we can join you.”  The dogs look through the fences with envy that they were always having fun.  Well, what we can say is that today their wish came through – they get better nutritious meals and snacks from us.  What the dogs can now look forward to now would be car rides to the park – more walks and fun time with the volunteers.

The Zeus Play House

However, Zeus Play House is now getting too crowded and we would like the dogs to be adopted out into loving homes. It would be great if the dogs could go to families who would love and care for them instead of being confined to a small amount of space in the shelter.  A shelter is a temporary home for the dogs till they find their forever home. We do not want it to be a life sentence for our dogs, confining them forever. Our role is to house, socialise and nurse them until they are ready for adoption, when they find the right companion.

For those wondering why we did not choose to take over the shelter where the dogs were at previously, it is because it does not make economic sense to spend the extra money on rentals and  the upkeep of the shelter. Apart from cost, we want to give the dogs a chance to be adopted instead of leaving them to spend the rest of their lives at the kennels. We are also running on a very tight budget as the money available to us for animal rescue comes from sponsors and benefactors.

Daisy, Nokia, Jelly Bean, Coco, Bobby, Mei Mei, Tiger, Blackie and Faith are the nine who are now safely residing in our shelter. We have learnt that most of them were rescued from Kranji Industrial Estate, where heavy vehicles and machines made the place dangerous for the dogs to roam about. Right now, we are hopeful that the biggest and sweetest boy (Bobby) would be a suitable blood donor to save the lives of dogs who are in need of blood.

New Residents for Adoption

Daisy - Female, est. 2 years old

Daisy is the mummy of Jellybean and Nokia. She and her babies were rescued from one of Kranji's many danger zones where traffic is heavy and big trucks rush by with no regards to the lives of the dogs. Daisy is a smart lady who always has a keen eye for her surroundings especially when it's time for treats! Her sweet temperament, coupled with her beautiful coat of brown and black, she’s a doggie that’s hard to miss!




Nokia (with white chest) and Jelly Bean

 Nokia - Female, 1.5 years old

Nokia was found at Kranji with her mummy Daisy and sister Jellybean. She is full of boundless energy - you can see her racing up and down the kennels, playing with her mummy and sister. During her calmer moments, she'd tag along with you, curious as ever! Her name means "little child" in the Teochew dialect, because she used to be a skinny puppy who never seemed to put on any weight! But after what seemed like a long time, Nokia has finally grown up into a fine young lady.

Jelly Bean - Female, 1.5 years old

Jelly Bean is Daisy's daughter and Nokia's sister, found at Kranji. She was named Jellybean to suit her personality - a bag of colourful jellybeans! Orange is for her sunny personality, red for her warmth and blue for her oh-so-cool attitude. Come see Jellybean play and you will know what we mean!

Coco - Female, 1.5 years old

Coco was also found at Kranji Industrial Estate and she looks like a pug in disguise! She is the quieter one of the lot, preferring to stealthily take in her surroundings and then secretly steal any uneaten food! Her guilty looks never fail to give her away and she'll make you roar with laughter. With her soft brown coat and black muzzle, she is no doubt a little pug in disguise! Take a look at her!

Bobby - Male, 3 years old

A sweet, gentle boy that belies his big size, Bobby is a real darling. He was rescued as a puppy by an NS man, who kept him near the quarters of his bunk. The man's seniors disallowed that and Bobby was brought to the shelter. Sadly, his owner has not visited him for a long time. Always looking a little forlorn, Bobby clearly misses his owner very much and would love to have a family to call his own.

Mei Mei - Female, 5 years old
A lorry driver found Mei Mei wandering near the sea some time ago. Although quiet, Mei Mei is one to love attention and will come running to you when called! Her lovely cream coat of ringlets makes her most ladylike-looking.

Tiger - Female, 1.5 years old

Hear me ROAR (or yelp)! This unusual and beautiful brindle coloured girl will rush to investigate new surroundings, but will be the first to yelp in fear at any sign of trouble. She loves following people around, and will stick close by your side during your visit to the shelter. Her curious and playful nature makes her sweet and endearing.

Blackie - Male, 1 year old

Blackie was found at Kranji, chasing cars and bikes as they travelled along the road. He is finally safe from the dangerous life on the streets and would love to have a home to call his own.

Faith – Female, 2 years old

Faith was found in a rubbish bin by an old man in Kranji. She had been rehomed but because she could not get along with the existing dogs, she had to return to the shelter. Despite the transitions from the streets to a home to a shelter, Faith is always full of hope that one day; the perfect family would come along for her.

Medical Health Check

Before being rehomed, all the dogs need to undergo a full health check to ensure that they are well. They also have to be microchipped and vaccinated. We urgently need funds for their health checks and the average amount for each dog will amount to around $100. Each healthy and happy dog has a better chance of getting rehomed.

Please help us to fulfil their life long dreams and they have escaped death twice!

Starring our Vagabond Dogs who once lived on the streets, while some were abused and abandoned.

These are our very lucky dogs who have found their forever home with their Masters whom they adore, respect and are forever grateful towards.

This world would be a better place if their other furry friends could have the opportunity to find love and shelter like them.

Like humans, there is poverty in third world countries, where they struggle to make ends meet worry when will their next meal be.  These dogs went through a similar plight – but they are lucky in a way because many people like you and me care for them and ensure that they don’t go hungry.

It is not easy running a shelter in Singapore, as the main cost is the rental of the boarding facility, medical fees and food.  Funds are required to keep the shelter going every day and ensuring that the animals have their basic needs.  Zeus Play House is now home to 40 dogs – the dogs that we have helped are mainly ex-breeding dogs, abandoned dogs, injured and or once abused by humans.

Every purchased calendar will help us greatly in giving them what is required for their daily needs.

A Book Can Feed Many Street Animals

Dear Friends,

A dear friend, Ms Lai Choi Kuen, the author of "Romancing History and Art" has generously donated 200 copies of her book to Zeus Communications. She could have opted to sell her book at the book stores, but she didn’t; she wanted to do her part for a few special organizations that hold meaning to her and we thank her for her generosity.


Ms Lai Choi Kuen

Please buy a copy of the book, at S$40 each and the entire proceeds will benefit the street animals. Zeus Communications is committed to improving the lives and welfare of the strays we work with; be it providing food or medical aid.

Zeus 2011 Calendars SOLD OUT! Thank You!

Dear friends,


Our Zeus Communications 2011 Calendars have been entirely sold out.

Cooking up a feast for the strays



Having a Christmas feast - Pork knuckles!

Thank you for supporting us and our work, helping us do our best for the animals that we care so dearly about. Life in industrial areas and on the streets are definitely not the ideal place for these animals to be in, but the least we could do is to care and provide for them. Proceeds from the sales of the calendars will go towards the sterilization of street cats and dogs, as well as the provision of food and medical aid.

Little puppies with neither food, love nor shelter

This old factory dog had to be put down not long after; he was too weak and could hardly stand nor walk.

 Giving them the gentle touch that they couldn't find . . . .

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU everyone.

With Love from
Lynda, Fiona and all the volunteers with Zeus Communications

Rescue Remedy and Healing for Pets

Our pets mean the world to us. That's why we have a list of essential items below that all pet owners must have. 


There are many reasons why pets have emotional issues. When your pet presents you with a behavioural issue, there may be underlying reasons for that behaviour. What worries us, may not always worry your pet; and vice versa. Pets have emotions, just like you and I. They have also been known to take over the emotions of their owners; such as if the owner is stressed or unwell, the pet is also emotionally affected. While the trend towards the use of drugs to deal with animals' separation anxiety and other complex stress related emotions is on the rise, many pet owners are turning to all-natural alternative solutions like Rescue Remedy.


Rescue Remedy can help your pet with:


- Visits to the vet (fear, anxiety)
- Fear of loud noises (thunderstorms)
- Excessive barking or hissing
- Shock, trauma or mistreatment / abuse
- Loss of a companion
- Separation anxiety
- Adapting to new surroundings
and much more.

Rescue Remedy for Pets. Alcohol Free.

How to use Rescue Remedy :


Give 4 drops several times a day, either in their drinking water, or on their tongue. The droplet is made of glass, so please do not put the droplet directly into your pet's mouth. Use either a plastic droplet or a syringe instead.


Cost : S$28/-  per bottle (includes postage)


Please email dogstalk@starhub.net.sg to purchase.

Music for Your Pet's Wellness

Imagine a world without music; life would be mundane and uninteresting. Music has been made and developed throughout the years, appealing to man's audio senses. Similarly, it has been proven that pets are affected by different kinds of music. 

Have you ever noticed your pet's reaction when the television or radio is switched on? Different pets' reactions differ greatly towards music. Just like us, they are attracted to types of music that they are comfortable with and research has shown that pets do benefit from music; what more music composed specifically for their listening pleasure.

Music Wellness for Pets - Volume 1



Music Wellness for Pets - Volume 2

The CD is a must-have for pet owners! We even have them in our cars! Mount Pleasant Animal Medical Centre (Redhill) plays the CD for dogs and cats from the time they come to work and I believe the Drs and vet techs there can vouch that their dogs are calmer and more relaxed!

Cost : S$20/- per CD set (includes postage)
* Both Volume 1 and 2 are suitable for ALL pets.


Please email to dogstalk@starhub.net.sg  to purchase.

Thundershirt for Dogs


Thundershirt is a vest for dogs. It provides gentle, constant pressure and has a dramatic calming effect for most dogs if they are anxious, fearful or over-excited. From real world experience, we know with certainty that Thundershirt DOES WORK. We have used it on our rescued dogs, as well as our own pets and to date, majority of the dogs have benefitted from the use of Thundershirt. 

Dr Temple Grandin believes that pressure has a calming effect on the nervous system. Using pressure to relieve anxiety has been a common practice for years.   Many veterinarians and dog trainers now recommend Thundershirts for their anxiety cases.

Thundershirt can be used for fear, thunder storms, anxiety, traveling in cars, trips to the Vet, excessive barking and excessive jumping. Almost immediately, you would be able to see improvements. Thundershirt can also be used as part of a behavior modification program.

One thing is for certain, for a very large percentage of dogs, Thundershirt’s gentle, constant pressure has a terrific calming effect. This has obvious benefits for most types of anxiety. Thundershirt is also a very useful tool for managing excitability or hyperactivity with strangers, on the leash, or in a training environment.

Please note that because of our weather in Singapore, it should NOT be worn for long hours or outdoors.

Cost : S$70/- for the grey 
            S$78/- for Navy Blue Rugby and Pink Rugby  (includes postage)

Please email dogstalk@starhub.net.sg with the following details;

1) your dog's chest measurement (in cm or inch)

2) breed of dog

3) your dog's fears / issues

View the Thundershirt video.


If you are ordering from out of Singapore, please email Lynda at dogstalk@starhub.net.sg
Together with the above, and Animal Reiki, it would complement your pets' health and wellness.

Street Dogs Sterilization (S.D.S)

We may not see many stray dogs where we live but go off the beaten track into the streets of industrial estates and you will hear the small cries of newborn puppies or see orphaned puppies playing on the streets, oblivious to on-coming traffic. Stray dogs generally don’t live very long, often dying in road accidents, starvation, illness and dog fights; mainly for food or sex. Male dogs tend to fight for the females when she comes into season.

A tiny puppy scavenging for food

Countless puppies fighting for food. They learn to fight from a very young age because they have to survive.

Young puppy with mange, possibly caused by in-breeding

 Puppies bitten by industrial rats bigger than them and puppies were still alive! The rats just fed on them everyday.

Help sterilize these street dogs so they longer have to endure the pain and suffering of being mated by numerous male dogs and giving birth under bushes, in the drains, etc

Female dogs can go on heat twice a year, each time producing at least 4 to 8 puppies

A female dog on the street can give birth to approximately 12 puppies over a year, starting from as young as 6 or 7 months old. Six of these puppies have a good chance of growing up into fertile adult dogs. A male, on the other hand, can mate with at least four females and contribute approximately twenty-four puppies. Together, there can be at least 30 fertile dogs by the following year.

What if we had not chanced upon Dawn and rescued her?

Often when we rescue strays, they dont even know how to drink from water bowls

What if our paths did not cross?

Waiting for death to overcome him

Cold, wet and injured

This old dog was too weak to even stand up to eat

Support Street Dogs Sterilization. It is more humane than culling. Many people in our society consider stray dogs a nuisance. They consider these strays dirty or dangerous. However, animal lovers will beg to differ, telling you that these dogs have a right to live on the streets too because like human beings, they are capable of emotions and sufferings. To solve the problem of strays, we need to be ethical and humane. We believe in Street Dog Sterilization.

Help us give them food

And hope

 Help sponsor a dog for sterilization (left ear tipped)

These stray dogs provide companionship to security guards in industrial sites, as well as warn them of intruders as the dogs would often be the first to bark and alert.

Street Cat Sterilization (SCS)

Every year thousands of healthy cats are euthanized because of complaints by residents that the cats have been a nuisance, messing up void decks with food waste. Male unsterilized cats also prove to be a nuisance when they caterwaul to mate with a female cat.

Cats in industrial estates

The Solution

• Caregivers should sterilize the cats to control the population

• Caregivers should feed responsibly and clear-up after the cat has finished eating. By leaving food waste around, it encourages rodents and gives residents more reason to complain

Together, as a community, we can help solve the problems of unwanted and abandoned cats both domestic and feral. We strive to lower these numbers and the only possible humane way is sterilization.

What is a Feral Cat?

Feral cats are the "wild" off-springs of domestic cats and are primarily the result of pet owners' abandonment or failure to sterilize animals, allowing them to breed uncontrolled. Feral cat "colonies" can be found behind shopping areas, in alleys, parks, abandoned buildings and industrial areas. They are elusive and do not trust humans.

Cat on the right has an injured eye

We're trying to catch this cat to have its eye attended to

A pair of breeding cats, which can have two or more litters per year, can exponentially produce a few hundred off-springs by the following year.

Sterilizing eliminates annoying behaviours associated with mating and it costs less to spay a cat, rather than to pay the pest control to exterminate the cats. Vacated areas will soon be filled by other cats who will start the breeding process again.

If you are feeding a cat in your area, we invite you to be part of the sterilization solution. We can assist you with low-cost sterilization for street cats, as well as loan you a humane cat trap and demonstrate how to use these traps.

Catching cats for sterilization

 Going to the Vet

It costs an estimate of $35 to sterilize a male cat and $65 for a female cat, to ear tip their left ear and to give them one vaccination.

Sterilization is but a small investment for a long term solution.
