Denise Dunlavy - Animal Communicator - Nationwide
I help people develop a deeper understanding of their pets and improve their relationships by interpreting energetic messages from furry family members. They can be living or passed and do not need to be present for the reading. Sessions are over Zoom or phone.
I also teach animal communication workshops and in depth courses. Please inquire if you want to learn animal communication!
Some reasons you may want to consider communicating with your animal :
Understanding and addressing behavioral issues.
You can get to know and understand your pet better.
They may have opinions about things you are considering, like getting another pet or moving.
To find out if they have any advice for you.
Get feedback on how they are feeling or how you can improve their quality of life.
To ask about their health. I don't diagnose health issues but animals will let me know if they are feeling pain.
You can talk to them! This can be useful if there are upcoming changes to explain like a move, a new baby or a divorce.
I specialize in pet loss and grief counseling because I have discovered that this is a need amongst many of my clients. I often do sessions with pets at the end of their life and after they have passed and have found that pets can offer comfort becuase they are very spiritual and do not fear death the same way people do.
What to expect in an animal communication session: I start by asking the animal to tell me or show me something about their personality or things they like to do. That way I can relay information to help us all know that we are connecting to the animal. I see what comes through first and then I will ask your questions. Messages often come to me via images so I will tell you what I see and ask what that means for you so we can interpret the messages together.

Customer Reviews
Denise is a wonderful communicator. She tuned right into Luke and addressed the issues I wanted to know about. She helped me understand some of his current behavior based on some past trauma and experiences. I look forward to having her help me more in the future. Thanks Denise!
- Quin PPet Pro's Response:
I'm glad you and Luke found each other. He is going to have a great life with you.
- Denise DunlavyDenise was amazing! She told me things that you had to be there to know it happened. I've been to a few other pet communicators & none were as spot on as Denise. I am so impressed I purchased 2 more sessions. Thank you Denise.
- Cherise SI've seen 3 other animal communicators in the last 3 months. Denise told me things only my baby would know & I didn't say anything to Denise about any of it. She is honest, precise, empathetic, & safe. I will be seeing her again. I do not need to see any more communicators now that I've meet Denise. I highly recommend her. The 3 of thank you, Denise.
- Cherise SThis past experience was during our 2 1/2 week vacation to Europe.
Denise was very gracious to communicate with Shasta during this time.
It was positive experience because I was not anxious about her barking so much at my son.
I learned that Shasta is very needy for just my attention.
So when we got home, things were better for 3 days, then barking returned.
Still learning about her with Denise’s help.
Amazing. The insight and easy.
- Cynthia WThe meeting went very well. Denise was lovely, and clearly had a connection with my dog. My dog came through very authentically, I feel like I did not lead Denise in any direction to get the most authentic reading, and everything that came through felt and sounded like it was coming straight from my dog.
- RD DPet Pro's Response:
