You do know

Most pet owners come to me with all sorts of questions about how their pet feels about their daily life together. Do they like the house, their other family members (humans and other pets), what do they think of life? Sometimes there are specific questions around relationships, or health, and the owner will worriedly want to know what their pet is thinking.

What’s interesting is in almost every case the pet’s owner already knows the answer. 

So honestly, when you’re worried about what your pet things of thinks, you probably already know the answer. So I spend much of my time in a session validating the owner’s already knowing.

Don’t get me wrong, that doesn’t mean that hiring an animal communicator is pointless. The pets get as much validation and witnessing out of it as the owners do. My point here is that trusting your gut and your instinct is worth it.

So if you are questioning the vet’s answers to you - trust your gut.

If you’re questioning treatments or modalities to use with your pet - trust your gut.

If you think something is off with your pet - it probably is - trust your gut.

The bottom line is that you know your pet better than anybody. Better than the vet. Better than an animal communicator, or anyone else that you could hire on your support team for your pet (or any armchair quarterback who wants to tell you how you should be managing your pet…).

Outside validation is important, and getting answers to clarify what you know in your gut is important, especially when it comes to health issues. But trusting your gut in the first place is the biggest step in the right direction that you can take that will put you and your pet on the right track to thriving together.
