If you’re preparing for an animal communication session, you may be wondering what questions you should ask your animal.
Should you prepare a long list? Are some questions better than others? Do you need to word them a certain way to get a clear answer?
In my experience, you don’t need to overthink it.
The best questions are the ones that matter to you and your animal right now. And sometimes, the most meaningful part of the conversation isn’t something you planned to ask at all.
What Can I Ask During an Animal Communication Session?
You can ask about almost anything you’d genuinely like to understand about your animal or your life together.
Some common questions include:
- How do you feel about a particular person or animal?
- How do you feel about where you live?
- Is there something you need?
- Why are you doing a particular behavior?
- How are you feeling physically?
- What are your favorite foods, toys, activities, or places?
- How are you feeling about an upcoming move or trip?
- Is there something you’d like us to do differently?
- What would you like me to know?
For an animal who recently joined your family, you may have questions about previous experiences or how they’re adjusting to their new life.
There isn’t a perfect list.
Each animal, owner, relationship, and situation is different, so the questions that matter in your session should be specific to you.
Do I Need to Word My Questions a Certain Way?
No.
I don’t think overthinking how you ask a question is particularly helpful.
Animals are very good at getting their thoughts across.
You don’t need to figure out the perfect wording or worry that asking something the “wrong” way will prevent your animal from communicating.
Ask what you genuinely want to know.
If we need more information once the conversation begins, we can continue asking questions and digging a little deeper.
Animal communication is a conversation, not a questionnaire.
What If My Animal Answers My Questions Before I Ask Them?
This happens surprisingly often in my sessions.
Before the scheduled session begins, I connect with the animal privately. I don’t ask the owner for their questions ahead of time because I don’t want that information influencing what I receive.
Instead, I allow the animal to share what is on their mind.
When the session begins, I review that information with the owner.
Very often, I’ll get to the end and hear some version of:
“That’s everything on my list.”
The animal has already brought up the things the person hoped to ask about without me knowing what those questions were.
Then we can circle back to anything that needs further discussion or move on to additional questions.
And sometimes the conversation goes somewhere completely unexpected.
Should I Prepare Questions Before an Animal Communication Session?
Yes, I recommend writing your questions down before your session.
Not because you need a long list or because we have to follow it in a particular order.
I recommend it for a much more practical reason: people forget.
You may hear something from your animal that surprises you. You may become emotional. Something your animal shares may remind you of another experience or lead us into an entirely different conversation.
Suddenly, the question you were certain you’d remember is gone.
Having your questions written down gives us something to come back to so we can make sure we’ve covered what you hoped to discuss.
And if another question comes to you during the session, ask it.
The list is there to help us, not restrict the conversation.
What Are Good Questions to Ask About Behavior?
Behavior is one reason people come to me for animal communication.
You might ask:
- Why are you doing this?
- Is something bothering you?
- How do you feel when this happens?
- Is there something you need from me?
- Has something changed for you?
Sometimes hearing the animal’s perspective provides information the owner hadn’t considered.
That doesn’t mean animal communication replaces appropriate professional help.
I’m not a veterinarian or animal trainer. If I believe something an animal communicates needs to be evaluated by a professional, I will say soโand I may say it repeatedly.
Animal communication can give us another perspective. It should not be used in place of appropriate veterinary care, training, or other professional support.
Can I Ask My Animal Health Questions?
Yes, people ask health-related questions during sessions.
An animal may communicate information about how they’re feeling or bring my attention to something physically.
I can share what I receive.
What I cannot do is diagnose your animal or tell you to treat a medical condition based on an animal communication session.
If the information suggests that something needs professional attention, my recommendation is to take that information to the appropriate professional.
Your veterinarian is the person to diagnose and treat your animal.
Are There Questions You Won’t Ask?
There is one question I won’t answer during a session:
“Who is your favorite person?”
I’m not interested in creating competition within an animal’s relationships or using animal communication to rank the people they love.
Beyond that, I would rather hear what you genuinely want to understand than have you worry about whether your question is a “good” animal communication question.
Your session is about your relationship with your animal.
What If I Don’t Know What to Ask?
That’s okay too.
You may have only one or two things you really want to know.
Remember, I connect with the animal before we begin our session, so the conversation doesn’t depend entirely on the questions you bring.
Animals have their own thoughts.
They may want to talk about something happening at home, another animal, something they need, how they’re feeling, or something that initially seems completely unrelated to why you booked the session.
Sometimes those unexpected directions are where the conversation becomes especially meaningful.
I’ve had sessions move into what I interpret as life lessons, the purpose behind an experience, or even past-life connections. That isn’t something I try to force into a session. It’s simply where the conversation has sometimes gone.
You don’t have to arrive knowing where the conversation is supposed to lead.
What Should I Bring to My Animal Communication Session?
Your preparation can be simple.
Bring your written questions, an open mind, and a willingness to hear your animal’s perspectiveโeven if it isn’t exactly what you expected to hear.
You don’t need the perfect questions.
You don’t need to know what your animal is going to say.
And you don’t need to fill every minute with questions to make the session worthwhile.
Write down what matters to you. We’ll make sure we cover it.
Then leave a little room for your animal to have something to say too.
