Spotify launches 'pawfect' playlist for pets and shares fun facts about animal lovers

Spotify dug up some dirt -- the good kind -- to create a fun new music genre for pet lovers and their furry friends.

"We dug our paws into the subject and conducted a study on how pet owners use music with their pets. We found that 71% of pet owners surveyed play music for their pets," the streaming service said in a press release.

Spotify looked at data conducted from an online survey with 5,000 pet owners in the U.S., U.K., Australia, Spain and Italy.

The surveys found that 8 in 10 pet owners believe their pets like music and 71% have played music for their pets while 57% said they dance with their pet and 69% sing to them.

Almost 1 in 5 pet owners also named their pet in an ode to their favorite musician or band.

The top 5 artist-influenced pet names include Bob Marley, Elvis, Freddie Mercury, Bowie and Ozzy.

Spotify also unleashed a few more fun facts like 55% of pet owners think their pet has the same taste in music as their human and 53% said if they really had to choose, they'd pick their pet over their partner.
