Health Concerns
Listening to the animal, I will get what they can tell us about their wellness, pain, and the locations/sources of their symptoms.
Most of us have experienced worry when our animals show signs of distress, illness, irritation or sensitivity. Sometimes animals can pinpoint the reason for us, even offering suggestions of what they might need.
Over the years, my clients’ animals have explained shellfish poisoning, intestinal blockages, food and bedding allergies, teeth problems and even temporary blindness. Often their vets have been open to the animal’s advice and met with more success in treating them.
Animal Communication about Past Experiences
What may have happened in the past that can inform us about your animal today?
Many of our animal companions have experienced previous owners, training, environments, conditions and often trauma. Sometimes they have been different species in past lives. These factors impact them and the way they interact with us.
Sometimes what they tell me about their pasts can explain why they behave as they do, what they might need or fear, and how deeply their memories can affect them. Some animals have moved on from trauma, and don’t wish to revisit it.
One of my clients was perplexed by her new young dog, who insisted on using the family bathtub to relieve himself. When I asked him about this troublesome habit, he showed me that he had previously lived in a high-rise apartment, where he was trained to use only a bathtub. This dog was very confused by all the encouragement and pressure to “do his business” outdoors! The back story gave his human a totally new appreciation for his behavior, and much more patience with the successful next steps.
Animal Communication with Animals in Spirit
When our animals pass away, they often have helpful insights for us, from the spirit side. ​Losing a beloved animal is as hard as losing a human family member. The grief can be hard to endure, wishing we knew their side of the experience.
Sometimes the circumstances of animal illness and death, and not knowing the animal's wishes, bring people to an animal communicator. It can be very reassuring to hear from the animal's perspective.
It's often asked if euthanasia was timely. Some are curious to know how their animal companions have experienced the bridge between realms. Sometimes, people request the animal to offer signs of love and hope in their daily life.
​One of my clients was profoundly grieving and needed to ask her departed cat how she could find peace again. The cat told me she would always feel his presence in the old treehouse he loved. My client's heart was greatly comforted when she revisited his favorite spot.
Animal Communication about Behavior
You can find out about troubling or confusing behavior from your animal's standpoint. ​Have you ever been confused, even mystified, by your animal companion's behavior? Sometimes they explain with the reasoning we never expected.
Such things as jealousy, grieving a loved one, moving to a new location, or changes of a favorite food can account for odd behavior. It might be unexpected new rules or routines or fears their humans didn't know about.
​I once had a client whose dog began dragging the family cat around quite roughly, which he had never done. The dog let us know that this cat had the convenience of a litter box, while the dog had to wait all day for the owners to let him out, and he resented it. His humans had no idea and quickly changed their routine to show more respect for the dog. (By the way: the cat hadn't been taking it personally. She said, "No biggie; this is between the dog and our people.")
Animal Communication for Sharing Needed Information
Sometimes your animals can offer missing info. What do they need or want? People commonly ask how animals might feel about their food (changes, reactions to food, flavor, wet or dry allergies).
Other questions include how animal companions feel about members of the family (including other pets), what they think about adding new animals to the herd or the house, how they will react to a new home or a neighborhood or a barn, or what items they wish to bring to a kennel or on vacation.
Sometimes our animals need to tell us that changes are not working, like a new bed, collar, household products, or toileting schedule.
​One of my dog clients has requested a change of bowl because he couldn't stand the reflection in the shiny metal. I have had animals ask for surprising things, even a favorite toy, giving the location of where it was lost. One dog asked to please bring a particular dog treat, by name, when her human said they'd be moving to another country.
