The Animal Files Podcast
Do you believe animals are sentient beings? That they can feel emotions, pain, and stress? Animals communicate with us all the time, but many of us simply haven’t learned to understand them. We tend to only see the obvious, but that can lead to misunderstandings, behavior challenges, & health challenges. Caring for a companion animal can be one of the most rewarding, yet challenging experiences in our lives. We aim to be a voice for animals and help them to thrive & not just survive in our human world. Our discussions and interviews range from stress in animals to safety, animal welfare to legal concerns, nutrition to communication, behaviors to travel, plus a whole lot more! Because stress affects our pets’ lives in so many ways, this aspect will be touched on in many of our episodes. We are not about being light, fluffy, and safe. We will be delving into areas that are not often talked about and helping you to take a deeper dive into the world of pet care. Our mission is to provide you with information, guidance, & possible choices you can make for the animals in your care while encouraging you to do your own research in order to make the most informed decisions. Each and every week, join Victoria Stigliano-Dzuban, an Animal Spirituality and Energy Facilitator, Animal Translator, and Integrative Energy Healing Practitioner, and Miranda de Haan, a Pet Care Safety Expert & an Animal Health Technologist, as they discuss various topics, interview other pet experts, and offer opportunities for personalized guidance to our community.

In this episode, we have an in depth and thought-provoking chat with the amazing Terri Jay, the Cowgirl Shaman. As an Animal Communicator, Veterinary Intuitive, and Animal Medium, she teaches others about spirituality, life, and death, both animal and human, through the lens of Physics. Join us as we explore these topics and share with you that YOU TOO can develop these abilities.
About Terri Jay:
Terri Jay enjoys a solid reputation as a medical and veterinary intuitive, medium and animal communicator. She regularly talks to people and pets who have passed, particularly when helping people deal with the loss of a loved one. Along with her work on the “other side,” Terri also works with people who have communication disorders such as autism, Alzheimer’s, traumatic brain injuries, people who are comatose, and babies who have just not yet learned to talk. She is adept at remote viewing and sensing and her readings produce amazing results and incredible details. A native of Cleveland, Ohio, she remembers being drawn to horses at an early age. She went on to attend Ohio State University where she studied Animal Science. By the mid-1970s, Terri had moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, where she started a free, horseback therapy program for disabled children. In 1985, she moved to Reno to become the first Executive Director of the Nevada Commission for the Preservation of Wild Horses, a position she held until 1990 when she decided once again to offer a horseback therapy program. It was during this time that she discovered her gift for telepathic communication with disabled children that grew to include horses and other animals. Terri enjoys a full-time career in providing readings by phone and in person and doing workshops around the country. She has also had successful shows at local casinos. Terri lives in Carson Valley, Nevada with her husband, horses and dogs.

In this episode, we have a lovely chat with Christine Milkovic Krauss, author of children's book Teddy Loses his Ears. Our discussion takes us into the world of fostering, adoption, and the importance of looking beyond appearances and opening your home and heart to that one pet who may be looking for YOU.
About Christine:
Teddy Loses His Ears is a non-fiction story about my real life rescue cat who lost his ears to frostbite while being homeless in negative 50 degree temperatures in central Canada.
All of the books in the Teddy series will highlight educational points about pet care, support inclusivity and celebrate being different together. Teddy Loses His Ears is the introduction book to the series and touches on self esteem and disability awareness. Each illustration in the story is hand painted and even has a Teddy's favourite toy hidden on every page for children to find! This story was created to raise awareness for rescue organizations and promote, adopt vs shop, to find your purr-fect family pet.
In addition to being a pet lover and cat mom, I am also a mom of two primary school aged children.
These books could never have come to life without their inspiration, a tribe of supportive humans and of course, Book Club.
