Pet ownership is at an all-time high, and spending on animals has been increasing steadily despite a recession. Pet psychics may just be the new normal.
Americans spent a total of $45.5 billion in 2009 on their animals. That was up 5.4 percent from 2008. Such booming services as massage therapy, antidepressant treatment, and grief counseling account for the increase. An annual study by the APPA noted that “pet services continue to be a growing category as they become more closely modeled after those offered to people.” So it stands to reason, perhaps, that pet communicators who can help us know what our little friends are thinking are a relatively easy find these days.
Greene, who has worked as a pet psychic for just over 10 years, may, in a busy week, receive anywhere from 15 to 40 calls. “Not all the animals want to talk to me,” she says. “I have some animals flip me the paw.” She considers her services a luxury item, with rates of $120 for an hour-long telephone consultation during which she speaks with the owner, who asks her questions to communicate psychically to the animal, and $240 for in-home/in-barn treatment.
Perhaps, these people with all this disposable income should be helping others who are less fortunate. MY OPINION.
I used Noxzema from the time I was old enough to wash my own face, all through school and into adulthood. Then I decided it wasn't 'sophisticated' enough and went with higher priced, higher end products. About 5 years ago, I went back to

I’m not too sure that we’d like to know what our pets think . . . that is if they think! I’m sure you’re going to get some backtalk from pet lovers. This is an interesting thought though.
Yup, you can just make that $240 check out right to me…..at least I will spend it appropriately….I already know my pets love, love, love me, and food, not necessarily in that order…..
Ok – I read a similar article just this morning. My ex and a dog-loving excolleague once told me that all dogs want is to be loved and cared for. If done properly, they will protect you with their lives. They also told that security (knowing their masters will never leave them) takes a close second for dogs of all ages. My excolleague (she moved away) had a rotweiller who had diabetes and she had to take blood from his mouth and give him shots TWICE A DAY!! I told her she was good because there was no way I’d put my hands in the mouth of a rotweiller. She told me – again – as long as the dog is loved and cared for he would protect her with his life and he knew that what she was doing was for his betterment therefore he let her do it. The same thing with cats. My parents had a cat who got so sick that they practically lived in the vet’s office. Sam (the cat) loved my Dad so much he would follow him all over the house. It was funny watching my Dad have conversations with Sam as if he were human. My Dad would say something and Sam would meow back. When Sam got sick he went to my Mom and howeled so badly that it scared my Mom into taking him to the vet that very day. This pet therapy thing is a crock – just love your pets and care for them and they’ll love you back.
