Some dogs just love to hop on into the car and get on the road!

But others can get stressed out in a vehicle, especially if everyone's all packed and ready to start a long road trip.

Turns out, there’s an easy way to relieve your dog’s stress in the car...a little music.

According to a recent survey, two-thirds of dog owners say their pets get stressed out on car rides.

That’s particularly bad for the 75% of people who plan to take their pet with them on their next vacation, with 72% taking these trips by car.

Sam Sutton, senior lecturer of music at the University of West London, says the right music can go a long way toward easing your dog’s stress.

β€œA recent research study from the University of Glasgow suggests music can indeed affect dogs’ behavior,” Sutton says in a statement.

Sutton has prepared what he calls the "perfect playlist" to help soothe your dog’s nerves, noting, β€œreggae and soft rock appear to have been the canine tunes of choice.”

The top songs to play to calm your dog while traveling include:

  • β€œHow Deep Is Your Love” – Bee Gees
  • β€œNo Woman No Cry” – Bob Marley
  • β€œ(Everything I Do) I Do It for You” – Bryan Adams
  • β€œI Want to Know What Love Is” – Foreigner
  • β€œDark Side of The Moon” – Pink Floyd
  • β€œOne In 10” – UB40
  • β€œHounds of Love” – Kate Bush
  • β€œDesperado” – The Eagles
  • β€œMany Rivers to Cross” – Jimmy Cliff
  • β€œLove is King” – Sade

On the other hand, these songs should be avoided:

  • β€œBack In Black” – AC/DC
  • β€œEnter Sandman” – Metallica (sorry Va Tech fans!)
  • β€œAce of Spades” – Motorhead
  • β€œBlack Dog” – Led Zeppelin
  • β€œParanoid” – Black Sabbath
  • β€œRunnin’ with the Devil” – Van Halen
