Whidbey Island, WA now has a wonderful service to help provide information about what our animal companions are trying to tell us. Jacqueline Sowell is a wonderful and very talented animal communicator.
Just Ask
No issue is off limits. You can talk to your animal companions about:• Health Issues
• End of Life Choices
• Behavior Problems
• Shared Life Paths
• Changes at HomeEnd of Life Choices
Most of us have been through this. Your animal companion of many years has become old and infirm. Over time you come to wonder whether you're holding on for their sake or your own.
Just ask. How can I make you more comfortable? Are you ready? Do you want help leaving your body?What is a Consultation Like?
Telepathic communication itself works just as well in person as over the phone. Jacqueline offers both house calls and telephone consultations. House calls are available on South Whidbey only.Jacqueline Sowell, MA

She has a wonderful way with dogs and is a very caring and compassionate person. Carol is involved with basic obedience, agility, and carting training. She is the author of Living With More Than One Dog. This book can guide you through the addition of multiple dogs into your home, or help you solve problems you may already be having. I have read it, and it's helped with several situations in our multi-dog family.

Whidbey Island Pet Bereavement Support Network
When facing the loss of a pet, people need to know their options. If needed, will their veterinarian come to the home to euthanize their animal companion? Is it legal to bury an animal or disperse ashes in Island County? How does one make arrangements for cremation and what are the options? The volunteers at Whidbey Island Pet Bereavement Support Network (WIPBSN) will help people find these answers.
For more information about WIPBSN, contact us at petloss@whidbey.com or call (360) 321-5025 or visit the web site at www.whidbey.com/fetch/loss/

Grooming
Improve the appearance of your pet and your environment with the FURminator shed-less treatment . . . a special anti-shedding treatment that dramatically reduces the mess and clean up of unwanted pet hair. The secret to the FURminator treatment is a patent-pending tool designed to stop the shedding where it begins in the undercoat of your pet. This revolutionary grooming device utilizes a unique blade that removes loose hair while leaving your pet with a shiny and healthy coat.
For any groomer who is still bathing by hand, please check out the HydroSurge web site and information on the HydroSurge Bathing Systems. It is well worth the investment because it will save the wear and tear on your hands and it does get the animals a lot cleaner than bathing by hand. I've found that the animals I work with really enjoy the massage they get while I'm bathing them. I have a few who get so relaxed that they will even start to fall asleep in the bath. I've found that by using the HydroSurge Bathing System the shampoos, conditioners, medicated shampoos, etc. are much more effective, the animals are much more cleaner and relaxed, and my hands aren't stressed from bathing by hand.
