Animal communication or pet psychic reading: Which is right for you?
Is there a difference between animal communication and pet psychic readings?
Here’s what to know before booking your first session.
Dear Intuitive One,
From the outside, animal communication and pet psychic readings can look pretty similar. A practitioner tunes in to your animal and shares what they’re sensing, seeing, hearing, or feeling.
But underneath the surface, there are some subtle yet important differences in how each type of practitioner works and what you will receive from each session.
Animal communication is a conversation versus an open-ended reading
In an animal communication session, the animal communicator will have a back-and-forth conversation with your pet. That conversation can go anywhere, but you can also come into a session with specific questions you want to ask your animal:
How are you feeling about a given situation?
What are you experiencing in your body? Are you in pain?
What are your unique needs in this chapter of your life?
What do you want me to understand about you? A particular behavior or situation?
How are you feeling about this recent change in your life?
From the starting point of your questions, the conversation can follow what feels most meaningful to you and your animal in the moment.
A pet psychic reading tends to be more open-ended, less question-oriented. Pet psychics tune into your pet and see what they can pick up from their energy and aura, rather than necessarily starting with a specific question or topic.
Animal communication is about connecting in the present, not future possibilities
With animal communication, we’re talking with your animal about their experience in the now—their feelings, physical sensations, needs, preferences, and wishes.
A psychic reading is generally a reading of your pet’s energy or aura, which can include glimpses into future possibilities and outcomes.
Both can offer meaningful insights, but they have a different focus.
The difference between animal communication and a psychic reading from the perspective of your pet
One of the biggest differences is how your pet experiences and responds to the session.
Animal communication is a consensual and active experience for your pet. They get to participate in the conversation and have a say in what they share with you. They can respond to questions, share their feelings, tell us what they need, and even bring up things we didn't think to ask about. They are participating.
Even if they fall asleep (which many do). Sessions can be calming for some animals, and other pets might be more active, even leaving the room when difficult topics come up or looking right at you when important things are being discussed. Like they’re adding an exclamation point to what they share!
In a psychic reading, your pet doesn't need to actively participate. They can be otherwise engaged in play or busy at daycare. Their energy and aura can be read without them having to respond or engage in a conversation.
Which is right for you?
If you're curious about what someone might intuitively pick up from your animal, a pet psychic reading may be what you're looking for. And, if you’re looking for a lost pet, a pet psychic is a better match.
If you have specific questions you want to ask your animal—and you want to hear directly from them about their unique feelings, needs, wishes, and experience—animal communication a great fit.
For me, I love the direct conversation that occurs in animal communication sessions.
It's not simply about seeing what I can pick up from your pet It's about giving them a chance to tell you.

A little about me
Hi, I’m Joanna. I’ve been practicing animal communication for more than 20 years, and it still fills my heart every time an animal shares something that helps their person understand them in a new way.
For me, this work is about deepening the connection between you and your pets by helping your pet feel heard and helping you understand your pets’ unique feelings, needs, and perspective on life and purpose.
"If you’re wondering whether you should hire Joanna, I’ll tell you YES! Do it. I was so gratified by what I learned about my two pets, and Joanna was a delight to work with. She is calm, kind, and oh so intuitive. I’m a better dog and cat mom than I was before our session. Thank you, Joanna!"
