I can’t even sit through an advertisement for the show without busting out laughing.
I find it very hard to believe that the guests on the show can even take her seriously.
Does anyone believe what she claims or is it simply taken as silly entertainment?
Inquiring minds want to know!
I swear to you that a relative of mine and her boy friend hired a pet psychic to come to her home because she thought her pet rat was depressed. If I say anything more about this your thread will get sent to the Pit so I will stop now. Anyway, from my experience, there are at least two people out there who are buying it. Hard to believe.

i do not live here
I think this pet psychic lady is just good at reading animals. Stroke a dog, feel a bump around the ribcage, tell the owner the dog was abused by a previous owner. There’s a pretty good chance she’ll be right, and if she isn’t, well, depending on how the animal was acquired, the current owners might not know a lot about the animal’s history and just assume she’s right… Nervous dog currently living in a vet’s clinic? Hey, this animal has been bounced from one home to another, and is afraid you’ll give her away again. Not a tough call- many people can’t cope with a high-strung animal, and would give it away, and if it has ultimately ended up living at the vet’s, might have happened more than once. A bit of embroidery, telling someone “what the animal is thinking”, or giving a few “details” about the animal’s past, hey, presto, good cold-reading.
I think it’s a crock. My mom thinks there’s something to it, but , hey, she thinks John Edwards is the real Mc Coy, too.
NO
What a fraud. It’s not like one of her ‘subjects’ can point out she’s wrong.
I can hear it now…
picture a cute little bunny saying " hey, she made all that up! I’m not jelous of the new man in her life. I just want to take a dump in her closet. I’d dump there whether she was dating the new dude or not."
If by “buying” you mean laughing hysterically at the idiots who believe this nonsense, then, yes, I am buying.
** Thea Logica ** is right: you can easily discern what an animal is thinking once you’ve learned how animals use body language to communicate. Talking to the owner gives you clues as to the stresses in the animal’s life, and from there onward, you can pretty much diagnose any behavioral problem. This I learned from an article by a “pet psychologist” who studied animal body language for years.
What the “Pet Psychic” does has somewhat of a valid basis, however, calling herself a “psychic” ruins her credibility in most people’s eyes.
Well…she hasnt claimed this prize so she full of it just like the rest of the psychic loonies.
Maybe we should all just set up a doper “psychic friends” network so we can mock these people and get paid $3.99 a minute for it.
I wonder if 1-800-C1M-ORON is still available.
I was visiting my evil sister last week, and she insisted on watching it. She kept saying, “She knows SOMETHING! And she doesn’t charge these people.” Uh huh. There was a disturbed goat, a reserved turkey, and… I just couldn’t watch anymore.
It’s actually a BETTER scam than John Edward, because the animals can’t even go as far as saying, “That doesn’t ring a bell.”
I keep Animal Planet on for the kitties while I am away. I walked in the other night and the Pet Psychic was on. She told some people that their cockatoo was gay, and then told a woman that her dog was the reincarnation of her father. Is a comment on that really necessary?
I keep trying to get my Chihuahua to watch Animal Planet but,
for some reason he won’t watch anything but Telemundo!
This lady is a scam. People buy into her nonsense for the same reasons people buy into psychic surgery, faith healing, and the hope that elvis is still alive.
My dog only likes action movies.
I’m just amazed…no actually saddened…that it has enough of a viewing audience for it to still be on the air.
“My my, aren’t they chatty?”
Since this is (apparently) about a television series, I’ll move this thread over to Cafe Society.
My dog likes to watch the dog beauty pageants and agility shows.
When I watch, she watches the screen with rapt attention. Nothing else on TV does she pay attention too.
As for the Pet Pyschic (sp) the people with beloved pets that have passed on are seeking comfort. Sure, it is a crock, but the way she soothingly tells them that Miss Fluffy is still with Adriana the Cat Lady, if only in spirit, gives them comfort. Yes, she is reading them, but I’ve teared up a few times myself.
I find it far more amusing and entertaining ( I haven’t seen it since it’s debut in spring) than the Reality shows because I feel that this pet lady and her audience are at least sincere and semi-normal people, where the Bachelor and other Whoring For Ratings shows, are just Attention Sluts who relish and mustard being an asshat/bitch/moron/prostitute/gigilo/whatever for their few (hopefully) minutes of pop culture fame, dignity be damned.
On the whole, I’d rather watch SpongeBob.
I wonder if, like human ‘psychics’, it doesn’t work so good if the dog is skeptical.
Well, I for one not only am buying what she’s selling, I’d like to go see her in person. I believe that there are such things as genuine psychics out there and that she is one of them. There are so many questions I"d like to ask her and learn the answers to.I think that she’s awesome,personally.
IDBB
Oh, dear.
BWA HA HA HA HA HA
I watche the show for the first time last night. They did a piece on the owner and the dog where the owner gave the life history of the dog. The next day the pet psychick comes and OH MY GOD SHE KNOWS ALL THESE DETAILS ABOUT THE DOGS LIFE!
Amazing!
