Pet Psychic. Fact or Fiction?
"Discover what a pet psychic CAN and CAN’T help you with"
From the heart of Shallah Ray Montaine,
Date: Sept 2, 2008
We’ve seen them in movies, on TV and in the media. Pet psychics, animal communicators and whisperers for all species are setting up shop across the globe and are beckoning us. What once seemed like a novelty similar to general horoscope readings is now becoming mainstream, often presented as the solution to all of our problems in life… and death. Is this just another generation of snake oil peddlers or is there really something of value here?
Despite all the skepticism, legitimate pet psychics and animal communicators are gaining recognition and bringing this new field of service into the mainstream. However, just because a person is capable of communicating with animals doesn’t necessarily mean they have adequate control of the skill, values or standards to provide a professional service.
If you’re interested in hiring a pet psychic, here are a few things you should know about the business…
Is it really possible to communicate with animals?
Yes it is. I have always been able to hear animals through telepathy and, through empathy, feel in my body what they feel. When telling others about this as a child, I was surprised to be the only one I knew who experienced the world in this way. After taking a course in animal communication I realized that the animals could hear and understand what I was saying and
we could have a real time conversation.
It wasn’t long before other communicators were asking me to help with their challenging clients and veterinarians were sending me referrals too. Animal communication became my profession in the summer of 1998 (under the name Heidi Peters.) Since then,
I have facilitated thousands of conversations between people and their pets.
Articles about my service have been featured in popular press …
• Animal Wellness Magazine
• Synchronicity Magazine
• Heartbeats Magazine
• Oliver Chronicle newspaper
What species of animals can be conversed with?
Any and all species can be spoken with. The only requirement is that the animal be willing. In my experience, most animals are keen to be heard. Typically my clients are interested in connecting with their dogs, cats or horses. However, some people are so moved by what their dog had to say that they also talk with their other pets, whether a hamster, fish, rabbit, snake or pet chicken. There is even a 16 year old duck on my past clients’ list.
What do animals talk about?
Clients use my services to better understand and manage their animals’ health, behavior and lifestyle. These issues are most challenging for clients when animals reach old age or are faced with serious medical issues. Animal communication services are often the only way to
discover what the animal is really going through, wants and needs.
The human-animal bond can be the most deep and beautiful of all soul connections. Many of my clients have said that the strong bond they shared with their animals has deepened even more as a result of our sessions.
See what my clients have to say…
“My husband and I have hired a number of animal communicators and Shallah Ray Montaine is the best. Most communicators take your questions or concerns and then privately connect with the animal for a response. Then the communicator provides you with the information. Shallah takes the communication a huge step beyond this. She provides the "phone line" for your animal to connect directly to you. Although it is Shallah's voice that you will hear on the phone, it will be your animal who is doing the speaking. You will have a real time conversation with your animal. This is the most amazing experience!”

“Thank you once again for the gift you give to people like me. Hearing from Eddy himself that it was the only thing left to do helped me in allowing him to pass over. Had he not wanted to pass over I would have fought tooth and nail to heal him. I feel I have honored him by granting him that final gift that only I could give to him. It has been a hard week but I am not as devastated as I thought I would be and that may well be thanks to you.“

"Animal communication was not a tool I had ever considered useful for the practice of veterinary medicine and, consequently, I never looked into it. However, since beginning the practice of veterinary homeopathy, a modality that relies on all physical as well as on mental and emotional symptoms to accurately prescribe for the patient, I have found animal communication to be very useful.
The decision for euthanasia is another time when it is important to know what the animal is thinking. Are they really ready to move on or would they rather wait a while longer. From personal experience with Shallah, I will never euthanize another pet of mine before "asking" her/him if this is what s/he wants or thinks is best.
I highly recommend that animal communicators such as Shallah Ray Montaine be employed by all pet guardians to tune into their animals every once in a while, in sickness or in health, as well as by veterinarians for any cases, especially those difficult ones."

"I recently euthanized another dog that you had worked with. Her name was Beauty. (Thanks for the referral.) It went very well and her guardian was very happy with your work. She said that you are able to counsel beautifully and that she thinks you should write a book--so put that in your ‘grist-for-the-mill’ box!”
- Dr. Wanda Vockeroth, Calgary, Alberta -

“I can't tell you how much it meant to have Beauty's wishes conveyed through your gentle and caring words. Your gift has turned Beauty's passing into a beautiful and spiritual journey.”

"Thank you so much for the experience of communicating with Maggie. It was wonderful beyond what I had imagined.”

Animals have opinions too
One of my earliest paid consultations was with a woman and her 1-year-old-dog. She believed the dog was suffering due to recent unexplained paralysis from the neck down. This little dog could do nothing for herself except lift her head, move her eyes and swallow. The woman needed to carry, diaper, force feed / stuff her and was heartbroken to see her beloved soul mate in this state. Veterinarians were at a loss too and euthanasia seemed to be the most humane option.
I was called in to ask the dog whether she wanted to be euthanized next week or next month (when another beloved family member would be in the city to visit.) Not only did the dog demystify when and why the incident involving paralysis occurred, she emphatically told her guardian that she had no interest in euthanasia anytime soon. This canine quadriplegic was perfectly happy with life and pointed out many undeniably joyful aspects of her current reality with passion and a pre-injury sense of fun.
The woman was overjoyed to know that her precious friend (a) wasn’t suffering, (b) was downright happy and (c) that she clearly wanted to stay and play. So that's what they did. The reason this family continued on was a direct result of the psychic conversation through me.
Six months later I learned that this dog’s spinal nerve endings had regenerated naturally, connected the necessary dots, and she was now fully functional again.
Not all psychics are created equally
Every mediocre service and even scam is based on some level of truth and success. If there are scammers exploiting certain abilities there must also be some people who have the actual ability that is being exploited. There are good and bad apples in every bunch.
I understand that it’s not always easy to know who is who. Most people’s first exposure to psychics is with someone who is an amateur. These people have a limited application of their service. Their value is often primarily entertainment and there is a fine line with how much truth is needed to fulfill the entertainment value.
Although animal communication can be entertaining at times it is not entertainment. In fact, it’s highly unlikely that an animal will engage in conversation unless there is a true intent to help or be helped by the experience. If entertainment or scolding is the intention of the conversation, the animal may simply say, “No thanks, I’m busy.”
I know how lousy it feels to be talked into something by a savvy sales pitch. I once visited a tarot card reader at the recommendation of a trusted someone who insisted this woman was the real deal. I was encouraged to talk so much throughout the session that I seriously doubted if the tarot cards had anything to do with the information I was given. The entertainment was there but I left with more questions than answers and a sense of having wasted my money.
Many years passed before I ventured into another reader’s room. This time there was no pomp, circumstance or leading conversation. With clear instructions and boundaries from the tarot card reader, her findings left me inspired to keep the bar raised high. This is why I have made a standard practice of providing clear instructions and setting strong boundaries as a part of my business structure.
How my service works
The intuitive gifts of telepathy and empathy have been with me and practiced since birth. This combination of senses allows me to connect with an animal and receive thoughts, feelings and physical sensations from them. I then describe to you the waterfall of information shared by them and facilitate a two way dialogue between you both.
My work occurs on the phone rather than in person.
I connect you and your pet in direct conversation. Therefore, your experience will be like a regular conversation on the phone except you’ll be talking with your animal rather than a human friend. I am the translator and you will be hearing your animal’s perspective and preferences. This invites the exchange of practical and spiritual information which clarifies and gentles your journey together.
The magic, meaning and memories created during consultations
deepens the quality of your relationship and can greatly support everyone involved before, during and after a cherished animal passes on.
I can also telepathically connect people with their pets after the animal has passed on. In fact, I have been specializing in situations involving dying and death for a number of years. This includes protracted or sudden death, recently or long ago.
Although specializing in transition cases, I still work with situations involving health, behavioral and lifestyle issues.
How is a Telepathic Communicator different from a Whisperer?
Although whisperers (horse whisperer, dog whisperer, etc.) commonly have telepathic abilities, their work is mostly behaviorally based. This means that whisperers are most effective when
they are physically present with the animal. Being in person allows them to both receive visual cues from the animal’s behavior as well as exchange information through body language and touch.
I have found that telepathic communicators and pet psychics are actually less effective when working in person due to environmental input. In order for a communicator to send and receive information to and from the animal the communicator needs to be in a semi meditative state. Distractions will disrupt the flow of information. Additionally, an uncontrolled environment makes it difficult to differentiate my own sensations from those of the animal. Once mastered, however, it’s possible to communicate deeply, effectively and efficiently in a far more shallow state of meditation and block out any distractions. Many of my clients have tried other communicators when I was unavailable and they all returned to me because of my approach and natural sounding presence on the phone.
Benefits of telepathy based animal communication
• Tap into the underlying spiritual intelligence of the animal
• Two-way communication capability
• Maintain relationship even after transition
• Addressing past, present and future events
• Shared decision-making for a team approach
Benefits of a phone based Animal Communicator
• No need for you or your animal to adjust to my physical presence in your home or vice versa
• The anonymity of the phone increases trust and openness because we won’t meet in person
• Familiarity of two way dialogue while hearing your animal’s responses
• Better control of your environment and mine for privacy and quietude
• Objectivity through me having seen nothing in your home in advance of the session
• No distractions from other clients or animals
• No travel on your part or mine – much cheaper, especially in long distance situations
Stylistic differences among Animal Communicators
Not all animal communicators work the same way I do. Many communicators elect to take your questions in advance and have you wait for the answers. They will then connect with your animal privately and without your presence, ask only the questions you provided and report back later how it went. This may be useful for quick follow-ups but it can be frustrating when the answers generate additional questions for you. Having a set list of questions is limiting whereas a free flowing discussion allows you to go deeper and explore the roots of an issue.
In order to allow maximum room for exploration, I do not schedule appointments back to back. Instead, I reserve two slots per day at 2pm and 7pm (pacific time) for consultations. This means that every client is essentially reserving a 3.5hr block of my schedule for their conversation if they need it. This structure allows me to rest and recover fully for every consultation and you get the maximum level of service.

Fees and Pricing
Clients have suggested that I charge up to $300/ hr for my service in order to maintain availability. While this is tempting, I prefer to keep prices lower to share my gifts with a wider audience.
With
only 2 time slots per day (2pm and 7pm pacific time), my schedule fills up quickly. I typically have a 3-4 week waiting period for bookings. Since it’s a slow time of the year, waiting periods have dropped to less than 2 weeks.
Seasonal slowdowns may be bad for me but I’m making them good for you with this limited time price reduction. If you reserve your consultation today,
I will cut your cost down to $67 for the first half hour. This is a $23 savings compared to my regular price of $90/ half hour.
I want you to get the most out of your consultation by letting the conversation with your animal go in any direction and reach whatever depths it needs to. It is unsupportive to put you in a situation of needing to schedule a second booking to continue the conversation... especially if it means weeks of waiting.
When you pay your $67 deposit to secure your half hour time slot,
I’ll clear my schedule 30 minutes prior for my own preparation time and 3 hours afterwards so you have maximal freedom to chat without watching the clock.
If this isn’t enough for you to sign up, on top of the $23 reduction for the first half hour,
I’ll reduce your cost by an additional $2 for every 15 minutes that your conversation goes beyond the first half hour.
This is how it looks…
$67.00 – first half hour ($33.50/ 15min)
$31.50 – next 15 minutes
$29.50 – next 15 minutes
... etc.
That’s a total of $128 for the first hour and is
less than half price of what repeat clients are willing to pay for my service.
Reserve your consultation today and take advantage of the current
reduced waiting period caused by the seasonal slowdown.
This offer is 100% risk free for you. If at any time prior to scheduling you decide that my service is not a good fit for you, I’ll INSTANTLY refund your $67 deposit with no questions asked. Even if you’ve reserved a timeslot, all I ask is that you give me 48hrs notice of cancellation to qualify for a FULL Refund.
Special Note: This website is still under construction and payment processing is not yet operational. Since I have no way of collecting the $67 deposit upfront, I’ll allow bookings with absolutely NO PAYMENT upfront. This means that I’ll be reserving 3.5hrs of my schedule with NO DEPOSIT from you. The $67 half hour minimum will still apply to final billing and subsequent time will follow the same structure identified above. A $67 cancellation fee applies for changes made within 48 hours of scheduled appointments.
Why would I charge so little?
Simple... Because I want to work with you. Animal communication is rich with poignancy and happy surprises. For me to be able to gently connect hands, hearts and souls in this way is deeply gratifying. In addition to that, my goal is to raise the standards in the field of Animal Communication and make high quality intuitive services available to more people.
The value of Animal Communication is undeniable for those who have experienced it. I’m convinced that by using my service you will have such a positive experience that you will be able to easily recognize and avoid communicators with questionable practices.
This work is truly a gift for both client and communicator alike. Being entrusted to help loved ones better understand and serve each other is both an honor and a privilege.

P.S.
Don’t let your first experience with an animal communicator be with a novice or a high volume professional. Clients say that my open-ended conversational style is the reason they keep coming back, whether for a check-in, a general status report or to address something specific.
