Frequently Asked Questions

What is Animal Communication Anyway?

Big Guy and Chocolate, in equine communionWe talk with our animals daily, who else would so patiently listen to us going on about a bad day!

We communicate through various methods: verbally, by actions, and telepathically.

Yes, everyone uses telepathy when communicating with their pets.  It is so subtle you may not recognize it as communication.  When you suddenly get the idea your cat needs food or your dog’s waterer is empty these thoughts are placed into your mind by your hungry or thirsty pet.  Even when you get a sudden urge to take your dog for a walk or go for a ride with your horse, chances are they were thinking they would like to spend time with you.

So what is the difference between you, me and those who call themselves animal communicators?  Professional animal communicators, like athletes, have committed time to strengthening and refining their telepathic skills.  Most feel a calling to help people and their pets, and adhere to a strict Code of Ethics, working only to serve a higher good or purpose.  Many communicators specialize in areas dealing with health issues, behavioral problems, lost pets or death and the dying process.


What concerns can we address?
People turn to animal communicators for a vast number of reasons.  Many are looking for assurance that their animals are happy, that all their needs are being met and to see how they are ‘feeling’.

Keanna and Hot Chocolate, looking for DebIf the animal has been rescued or adopted the new owners may be curious about the animal’s former life.  Are they are happy in their new environment?  How do they feel about the rest of the household … the two legged?  The four legged?  Are experiences from the past are affecting the animal in the present? This can be the reason for a difficult adjustment even to a new, more positive environment.  In my experience animals do tend to live in the ‘now’ and even if they have had a traumatic past they may choose not to revisit these memories.

Pet owners may want help with behavioral problems--a cat that suddenly starts soiling outside of the litter box; a dog begins peeing on furniture or carpets; a horse that suddenly gets balky and will not move forward when commanded.  The animal communicator can act as a mediator between owner and pet to determine the root cause of the change in attitude.

In these circumstances, it is always best to start by ruling out any physical or medical conditions; a communicator can assist by supplying information to the owner about the pet’s physical condition, and recommending professional medical attention if appropriate.


What can't an animal communicator do?
An animal communicator cannot diagnose nor prescribe treatment for medical conditions.  Sometimes a communicator can assist veterinarians by providing additional helpful information such as more specifically where pain is located and a description of the pain or discomfort.

We cannot make an animal do something nor change a response or pattern.  What we try to do is determine the cause behind the actions (medical or emotional) and then communicate this back to the owner.  My goal is always to help open the communication lines between owners and pets so they can work towards resolving any issues.
