“A what told you your dog has lung cancer?” exclaimed my veterinarian. “You’re too intelligent to listen to one of them!”

“Humor me,” I pleaded. “X-ray Victoria’s lung where the bronchial tubes go in, on the back, near the spine.”

Sure enough, the x-rays showed a tumor right where Griffin Kanter, the animal communicator I consulted, said it would be, and the mystery of Victoria’s illness was solved. Since the cancer was inoperable and not really treatable, Griffin worked with us to establish a signal Victoria would give me when she was ready to be helped to the next world. When the signal came, I verified it with Griffin and took Victoria to the vet for euthanasia. Losing her wasn’t easy, but knowing it happened when Victoria was ready, and before she suffered too much pain, helped me while I was grieving.

More and more people are turning to animal communicators for help with their four-footed companions. Some are trying to solve baffling behavioral or health problems, while others simply want to strengthen the bond between themselves and their animals by learning how to commune with them.

Unfortunately, as in any other field, there are bogus communicators out
there, so it’s important you find a reputable professional who will work
effectively with you and your animal to enhance his health and well being,
and to enrich and deepen the relationship you share.

FINDING A REPUTABLE COMMUNICATOR
The best way to find an animal communicator, according to Lynn McKenzie, a Toronto-based communicator, is to ask someone who has used one for their own animal. Before working with anyone, find out what training and experience he/she has had, and ask for references. Some communicators will hang out a shingle after taking one four-hour class; needless to say, these people won’t be nearly as effective as someone who has done an apprenticeship with a respected communicator, taken several classes, and has several years of experience.

Another way to ensure you’re getting someone reliable, says Communicator Sharon Callahan, is to call a holistic veterinarian and see who they recommend. You can also find a reputable communicator in your area by visiting Penelope Smith’s website at www.animaltalk.net – all these people have been screened by Penelope, herself a pioneer in the field of animal communication, and most have also trained with her.
