The psychics charge prices of 128 yuan (US$18) to allow owners to ask their pet five questions and 2,999 yuan (US$420) for an unlimited number of questions within six months, according to a news report by Jimu News.
Finding out if their pet has been reincarnated costs between 899 yuan and 1,899 yuan (US$125 and US$260) depending on the circumstances.
Many pet owners said they believed they were scammed after they were blocked by the psychics on social media or kicked out of the chat group for the service, the report said.
One of the victims, identified as Anran, raised a Beagle dog from 2009 to 2024.
