How to choose an animal communicatorShare this Wild Insights article

When it comes to choosing an animal communicator, there are a few key indicators which can help you. Firstly, and I cannot stress this enough.. go with your gut. If they feel right, then they're right for you. If you're not getting the right vibe, walk away - the most renowned animal communicator may not be the right one for you and your pets.

Secondly, get a feel for who they are and what work they've done. Check out their bio, and their reputation. Many animal communicators have testimonials to showcase how they've worked with previous clients. If you're still not sure, you might ask the animal communicator if you can speak to one  or two of their past clients.

And beware. Unfortunately, as with every industry, there are scammers out there. The good news is that there are many great animal communicators around too. It's easy to pick the good ones - they don't make outrageous claims, they don't promise to do something they can't, and they're very, very human. A good animal communicator should also be a good human communicator, and you should feel comfortable with them from the start.

Here's a short checklist to help you sort the genuine animal communicators from the not-so-great ones:

  • They abide by some sort of ethics code
  • They don't claim 100% accuracy
  • Their testimonials are written by real people
  • They don't claim to be "the best" or "the only" animal communicator
  • They have had good results in the past, but don't promise to "fix" or "cure" your problems
  • They are transparent - you can get a good feel for who they are before you contact them
  • They are human, friendly and approachable in all interactions (by phone, email or in person)
  • They know their limitations, and do not claim to replace veterinary advice and treatment
  • They act in a professional manner and treat you and your animals with respect

It's really important to remember that animal communicators are not  perfect. Animal communicators are translators of animal language, and just like human language translators, sometimes they can get things wrong. When you choose an animal communicator, go for one that feels professional, experienced, with a reasonable accuracy rate, but also one that appears human. Your own instincts will be the best guide in selecting the animal communicator that is right for you and your pets.
