Seven Days article: Animal Communicator Amy Wild Wants a Word With Your Pet

Recently, I had the chance to have tea with Chris Farnsworth from Seven Days to chat all things Animal Communication. I was an absolute honor to have this article featured in the annual Animal issue!

Here’s an excerpt: Amy Wild talks to animals. That's not especially weird — who doesn't chat with their pets, or with the occasional bird or chattering squirrel? The difference is that Wild says the animals talk back to her.

"Sometimes they speak in actual sentences," Wild said matter-of-factly, "but usually I get images, shared emotion, that sort of thing."

Wild, 38, is a Starksboro-based animal and spirit medium. The Massachusetts native started her business, Spectral Communications, in 2022 to offer her services to people who wish to converse with their pets, whether on this plane or across the rainbow bridge. In February, she became certified through the University of Vermont as a companion animal end-of-life doula.

For $99, Wild will "telepathically connect with your animal companion to provide insight, information and advice," her website says. She claims to be able to help pet owners understand why their dog chases its tail when company comes over; whether a churlish cat will welcome a new family member; how a dearly departed hamster is getting on in the afterlife; and anything else they might want to know about their furry, feathered or scaly friends. Or, as I would aim to find out, whether the affections of a beloved pit bull are guided by his heart or his stomach.

And yes, she knows what you're thinking.
