One of the most heated debates with no decided resolution is: do pet psychics work for real or are they some kinda frauds.

A lot of people believe pet psychics can really communicate with animals, alive or deceased.

Whereas skeptics cite science to establish the impossibility of that. And then again, there are those that prefer to maintain an agnostic attitude.

It can be difficult to firmly give an opinion on this subject, especially since it is clear that even if one genuine pet psychic achieves telepathic connections with animals, there are two quacks who just want to earn a quick buck by exploiting people in their moment of weakness.

With hardly any scientific research on the work of pet psychics, we are left to analyze the truth using mostly circumstantial or testimonial proofs.

 

Who Are Pet Psychics

Pet psychics are people with the ability to communicate with animals using psychic or telepathic means. They connect with the consciousness of the animal through their soul.

Thus, a pet psychic is able to send and receive messages from your pet irrespective of whether the animal is living or has passed.

This makes pet psychics even more effective in establishing contact with animals as the barrier of distance or realm does not stop them.

It is made possible due to the fact that pet psychics usually utilize a secondary source of spiritual power that relays the messages between the psychic and the animal, acting as an intermediary amplifier.

How Do Pet Psychics Communicate With Animals

The exact technique used by pet psychics to communicate with animals has not been definitely stated. Different psychics describe it in different ways.

However, all these interpretations have one thing in common – they all mention using the spiritual energy or aura of an animal to make the connection.

Sensing and responding to this energy is defined as extrasensory perception or ESP, indicating a sense beyond the five we know of.

Pet psychics can communicate with an animal blind based only on a name and a picture because they believe that names and images hold the essence of the pet.

In other words, it is what the pet, as well as the pet owner, identifies the animal as.

If the animal is deceased or is too far away for the pet psychic to create a stable connection, they may have to rely on some sort of spiritual guidance to piggyback their signal on.

Once the psychic connects to the essence or soul of the animal, they usually ask their name or for some other kind of identification to confirm that they have indeed connected with the right animal.

Once they are sure, they try to send their message to the pet using words, images, sounds, or even feelings and emotions.

In fact, pets are usually more receptive to non-worded messages.

Some animals may not wish to communicate due to myriad reasons and in that case, it would not be possible to form any connection at all.

Arguments In Favor Of The Validity Of Pet Psychics

There is no doubt that genuine pet psychics can and do show results that prove beyond question that they are the real deal. However, it is the law of the world that nothing is accepted without solid proof.

Now, being a science that deals with phenomena yet to be explored due to the lack of suitable instruments and scientific methods, we must depend on testimonials and circumstantial evidence to back it up.

● There is an endless list of testimonials and statements given by clients that go on to prove beyond doubt that pet psychics indeed are able to communicate with animals.

● For the largest body of evidence, all you have to do is look at world-famous animal communicators like Penelope Smith, and Val Heart to see how fervently people express their gratitude to them for helping their pets.

● It is not just the famous and fabulous who are accomplishing such feats every day. There are many others who help animals daily and these can be found recorded in news editorials, articles, and blogs.

● Psychic communication with humans is already a well-established field that people believe in.

The psychic connection between twins, many paranormal phenomena that have no explanation, the ability of saints to perform miracles are examples of the existence of psychic communication.

There is, therefore, no reason to believe that it does not extend to animals.

In fact, there are many psychics, clairvoyants, and intuitive in the world whose abilities encompass both humans and animals.

● Even vets nowadays agree that there is truth in what pet psychics do.

Many vets have been assisted in their job by psychics and acquiesce that without their help, they would never have been able to diagnose the real problem.

● Perhaps the most solid evidence in favor of psychic animal communication is the tales of indigenous tribes who have communicated with nature and spirits since their existence.

Many of these tribes even have elders and priests who acted as mediums between the spirits of Nature and the members of the tribe.

Many of these spirits were, in fact, those of animals.

These practices still continue in many places and are conveyed through folklore and traditional depictions to present generations.

● Animals themselves show any indications of being able to sense things psychically.

We often see our pets sense the arrival of their humans way before it would be possible even for them to hear or smell them.

Pets often form unbreakable bonds with babies and children of not just humans but other species too, which can be classified as a psychic bond since the young possess this ability intrinsically.

● Among humans themselves, there are many ways psychic abilities show up.

What we call the sixth sense or intuition is an example of psychic sensing.

Deja vu can be an example of psychic memory and so on.

Arguments Against The Validity Of Pet Psychics

There are undoubtedly tons of pet psychics across the world who have done genuine work and shown undeniable results.

They have helped thousands of people and their pets through their abilities.

However, like in any field, there will always be some negative aspects and arguments against it.

Some of these are:
● Many so-called pet psychics are actually cold readers who work in the same way as astrologers, fortune tellers, soothsayers, and tarot card readers.

They have keen observation skills to extract information from their clients and use their gift of the garb to tell them exactly what they want to hear.

These frauds become the reason why the entire profession of pet psychics is often regarded with skepticism and suspicion.

This interview between dog behavior therapist Laure-Anne Visele and pet psychic Marieke Akgul shows how even people within the profession are wary of such shams.

● There is no way to tell for sure if what the pet psychic did and prescribed really helped the pets.

A lot of the time, the problems pets have are temporary and would have gone away by themselves.

If a pet psychic had intervened at any point, that would go to their credit too, despite not being so.

● Since pets cannot verbally communicate, we have to take for granted that what the psychic says is the truth.

Even if they turn out to be wrong, there is no way to verify if this is a miscommunication issue, a mistake, or if the pet psychic lied about their ability.

This very reason also makes it easy to blame a “mistake” on a variety of causes.

A great example is this exposé of sorts that shows how blatant and widespread this is.

● Telepathic animal communication is something that cannot be verified scientifically, at least not yet.

Therefore, there is no technique to prove the veracity of the pet psychic.

This opens up the possibility of quacks exploiting people’s emotions, even more, to earn money immorally.

●Most pet psychics claim that animals communicate with them in human language.

This, in itself, makes the idea of psychic communication highly questionable.

Pets do not have the ability to understand human language, so they should not be able to communicate in it either.

Moreover, even if they could, it would not explain how psychics with different first languages would read the messages from the same animal in different languages.

Looking For Scientific Evidence Of Pet Psychics

As we have already mentioned above, it is not possible, at least yet, to prove the existence of psychic communication beyond an inkling of doubt.

It can be attributed to the lack of tools and techniques powerful enough to capture the process.

But that does not mean one cannot design an experiment based on statistics to prove the existence of psychic communication by measuring the percent efficiency of pet psychics.

Such an experiment has been described in Penelope Smith’s website under “Scientific Proof Of Telepathy”.

Conducting similar experiments on a large scale could give skeptics the proof necessary to convince them.

However, even then, the results of these experiments would be skewed by the change in metrics and indicators due to the artificial environment in which they would be conducted.

This is a flaw in any experiment involving animals in a lab.

Many variables would not be factored in that would be present in a natural or homely environment, especially those dealing with energetic interactions.

New variables would be introduced, the most significant one being that of stress.

This too was addressed in the correspondence detailed in the above link.

Do Pet Psychics Truly Work

After all these discussions, we come to the real question, “Do pet psychics actually work, or is the majority of this practice a huge sham?”

To be honest, this is a discussion in a grey area that you cannot answer with yes or no.

While many people do exist who claim to be pet psychics and mislead pet owners on the regular, they do not comprise the entire community.

There is too much evidence in favor of pet psychics to disallow discounting them so easily.

After all, if most people in the world do not possess the ability to exercise psychic communication, how does it make sense to dismiss the ability entirely?

Even today, people exist who think that the earth is flat. By that same logic, we should understand that just because we do not experience a certain reality does not mean it is non-existent.

Conclusion

While we are yet to be able to prove beyond doubt the ability of pet psychics, we cannot deny that at the end of the day, they have helped millions of animals.

As long as they keep working to save pets and make their lives easier in a way that harms no party, we should not have a say in how they do their job.

Pet psychics themselves ask pet owners to always take the advice of their vets before taking any drastic step.

Therefore, we should not be worried about them doing any damage; rather we should appreciate what they do for us and our best friends.
