Preparation for your Lost Pet Communication Session

Your lost pet session has 3 parts and is done the same day.

A Lost Pet Communication Session is critical to helping you find your pet. Please follow the below preparation guide to make the most of your session.

Send me the following information before the session.
Send to [email protected].

  1. Photo with eyes showing of your lost animal.
  2. Age, Name and relationship to you of the lost animal.
  3. Date, physical address where lost*, and circumstances of loss.
  4. Address of any confirmed sightings.
  5. Photo, name, age of any other pets in the household who may be able to give insight into the pet’s wellbeing and location. We may communicate with these animals during the session as well.

Although, a Lost Pet Animal Communication session will greatly increase your chances of reuniting with your furry family member, there’s no guarantee of success due to the number of variables involved in recovery.

Lost Pet Tips

Tips for Finding a Lost Pet:

  • Stay Calm and Positive: Try to remain calm and positive during your search. Pets can often sense your emotions, so a calm demeanor can help in their return.
  • Search the Immediate Area: Start by searching the vicinity where your pet was last seen. Pets sometimes hide nearby when they are scared.
  • Enlist Help: Ask friends, family, and neighbors to assist in the search. More eyes can increase the chances of spotting your pet.
  • Create Flyers: Design and distribute flyers with a clear photo of your pet, your contact information, and a brief description of your pet’s appearance and any distinguishing features.
  • Use Social Media: Share your pet’s information on social media platforms, local pet groups, and community pages. Include photos and relevant details to reach a wider audience.
