Music Therapy for Dogs

I came across this blurb and thought it was indicative of the trend of upscale pet owners to go to expensive extremes when it comes to their dogs.  I'll do just about anything for my doggies, but I'm really not sure that they care one way or another about spa treatments and other modalities mentioned in the excerpt below.  Music therapy for pooches?  Maybe.....

Bear in mind, many grooming salons these days don't operate the same way as those from the 80's or 90's. Then, groomers would just groom the dogs and the job is complete. Nowadays many grooming salons offer spa treatments and rejuvenation and music therapy for pampered pooches. These luxury sessions are not cheap. If you operate an upscale grooming salon in urban areas (i.e. Tokyo or New York), your customers are expected to pay anywhere from $100 to $200 for a complete doggie "makeover." I kid you not! 

With so many dog owners who are willing to spend obscene money on their furry children, it's no wonder many aspiring groomers jump into this bandwagon. I'm not saying money brings all evil intentions; just some will value money over passion.
