Many pet owners think they understand their dog’s emotions through body language, but what if you could truly grasp your pup’s thoughts? Pet psychics, often called animal communicators, claim to bridge this gap. Whether you’re a believer or skeptic, this guide explores this intriguing phenomenon that fascinates countless pet parents.

What Is A Pet Psychic?
Pet psychics focus on connecting with animals, claiming to tap into their feelings, thoughts, and experiences. Common reasons owners seek them include addressing behavioral issues, detecting health problems, connecting with departed pets, locating lost animals, and energy healing like reiki to reduce stress.
- Behavioral concerns: Understanding root causes of actions.
- Health issues: Sensing discomfort or illness.
- Departed pets: Facilitating final goodbyes.
- Lost pets: Claiming to sense locations.
- Energy healing: Using reiki for balance.
Techniques Used by Pet Psychics
Most rely on telepathy or energy reading. Telepathy involves mind-to-mind connections to "hear" pets’ thoughts, while energy reading interprets electromagnetic fields to assess emotions and health. Some use tools like tarot, crystals, or acupressure, even remotely via photos or calls.
Telepathy And Clairvoyance
Some combine telepathy (mind-to-mind communication) and clairvoyance (visions) to receive messages about pets’ emotions, health, or past traumas, then relay these to owners.
Energy Reading
Others read electromagnetic energy, similar to reiki, to connect with animals regardless of distance or life status. This method assesses physical and emotional states without direct contact.
Tools To Assist In Readings
Some use tarot cards, crystals, acupressure, or hypnotherapy to enhance communication, with some tools usable remotely.
How Do Remote Sessions Work?
Most psychics offer remote sessions via phone, chat, video, or using a pet’s photo, sending recordings of insights.
Are Animal Communicators Legitimate?

No scientific evidence supports telepathic or energy readings, so skepticism is common. Veterinarians caution against replacing professional care with readings but note no harm in using them as a secondary tool—except for lost pets, where false hope is a concern.
Always research communicators, checking reputations, experience, and customer reviews to find reliable practitioners.
Famous Animal Communicators
Several well-known communicators have gained attention through media and offerings. Sonya Fitzpatrick, with an Animal Planet show, offers phone readings. Jackie Weaver, a UK vet nurse, writes books and provides remote sessions. Pea Horsley, a TEDx speaker, uses pet photos for remote work. Lydia Hiby, with 60,000 clients, offers 30-minute phone consults.
