Is it possible to communicate with pets psychically? Even to help them this way? Many owners would be skeptical.

But Terri Jay, a psychic who works with animals as well as people, says, “I don’t worry about proving to skeptics that this is possible. I have so many people who believe in what I do . . . I believe that what someone thinks about me or my work is truly none of my business.”

Terri is typically consulted for pets that have health, behavior, or performance problems. Owners also call her when they’re considering getting another pet and wondering how the current pets would react, or when they’re thinking about euthanasia. Sometimes, she’s asked to help find lost pets. Terri says, “I can usually determine whether or not the pet is still alive, what direction the pet went in, whether or not someone is caring for the pet and specific directions on what to do in order to have the greatest chance of getting the pet back.”

She usually works by phone, which lets her serve clients all over the world. There’s no need to try to get the pet on the line. She says, “I ask my client what pet they want to communicate with, their name, what breed, species and age. Just this little bit of information is enough for me to feel the pet and then I share what I am getting. I may also ask questions since what the pet is telling me or showing me may not make any sense to me . . .” If the information doesn’t make sense, Terri just passes it on non-judgmentally.

Sessions run for an hour and cost $75 each.

Terri teaches workshops on animal communication — the next is on July 10th in Reno, Nevada. Details are on her site, where you can also buy her how-to manual.
