'Raise the Woof': A Very First Christmas Song for Dogs The season for Christmas music has begun. And this year’s celebration is not just for humans. A first ever Christmas song for dogs was created by Tails.com, a dog food firm with a dog behaviorist putting 'Raise the Woof!' together.

According to NewsTalk, 'Raise the Woof!' is based on sounds and noises that dogs would enjoy. These sounds are called 'waggae':reggae made for dogs to wagtails. Carolyn Menteith, a dog behaviorist, and Sean McCormack, head veterinarian, sought the help of 25 individuals and dogs while making the music.

Meanwhile, producer Scuta Salamanca and composers Soviet Science mixed the dog Christmas music at the famous Abbey Road studios in England.

Dog lovers could play the track and stream on Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music for their dogs. The Christmas song for dogs aims to raise funds for men's mental health organization Dudes & Dogs in the United Kingdom.

The song is just in time for the holiday season that would be enjoyed by our beloved pets. The company Tails.com dropped the track on Tuesday with an accompanying music video. Many puppies are getting into the holiday spirit with the single, as per PEOPLE.

The single claimed as the "first-ever" Christmas song for dogs was created through the company's head McCormack and Menteith. Most of the sounds in the track came from sounds and noises that dogs love, such as bells, basic commands, and squeaky toys.

"We call it 'waggle' - reggae designed to wagtails!" the company wrote on its website.

The company played over 500 sounds to create the track, focusing on a group of 25 dogs and analyzed their responses, as per the obtained release of CNN.

The company explained that alertness, head cocking, moving their ears to get a better listen, discovering where the sounds are coming from, and tail wagging are the signs that dogs enjoy the track. The pooch-approved song was recorded in a studio at Abbey Road, London, made famous by The Beatles.

There are 500 copies of Christmas songs for dogs that the company sells with a special vinyl edition of "Raise the Woof." The proceeds from each record will go through the Bristol-based organization.

Several pet owners flocked to the comment and immediately shared how their dogs reacted to the song after the pet company posted the song on Facebook.

One said, "Just played it to my gang. Their reaction was priceless."

Even the pet owner liked the song and said, "Heard it yesterday. Loved it. It makes you smile, although bonny seemed a bit confused."
