How to Talk to Your Vet When You Want to Go Holistic (Dr. Katie Kangas)

<p>You don&#39;t have to choose between trusting your vet and trusting your instincts — but figuring out how to hold both at once is harder than anyone tells you. Dr. Katie Kangas — DVM, CVA, CVCP, and founder of Integrative Veterinary Care — returns to The Pet Parenting Reset to talk about the pet parent-veterinarian relationship, and specifically, how to navigate it when you&#39;re leaning holistic and your vet is coming from a conventional framework.</p><p>We get into how to actually bring up alternative approaches without putting your vet on the defensive, why an integrative approach — one that draws from both conventional and holistic tools — often serves the pet better than picking a side entirely, and what it looks like to build a real partnership with your vet instead of an adversarial one. Dr. Katie also tackles the online research problem: with an overwhelming amount of pet health content out there, how do you actually know who to trust, what questions to ask of a source, and when &quot;I read it online&quot; is helpful versus when it&#39;s leading you astray.</p><p>This episode is ultimately about empowerment — not replacing your vet, but becoming the kind of pet parent who can ask better questions, advocate clearly, and build a care team that actually works for your animal.</p><p><br></p><p>🐶 🐱 Nutrition &amp; Holistic Health Consults: <a href="https://jessicalfisher.com/product-category/holistic-pet-health-nutrition/">⁠https://www.wildwellnesspet.com/collections/consultations⁠</a> 🐶 </p><p><br></p><p>Get to the root cause with the Wild Wellness Bioenergetics at-home testing kit: <a href="https://www.wildwellnesspet.com/products/bioenergetic-sensitivity-testing-for-dogs-full-scan-wild-wellness-powered-by-pet-medella">⁠https://www.wildwellnesspet.com/products/bioenergetic-sensitivity-testing-for-dogs-full-scan-wild-wellness-powered-by-pet-medella⁠</a> </p><p><br></p><p>💛 Follow The Pet Parenting Reset on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thepetparentingreset/">⁠https://www.instagram.com/thepetparentingreset/⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p>🤍 Follow Wild Wellness Pet on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wildwellnesspet/">⁠https://www.instagram.com/wildwellnesspet/</a></p><p><br></p><p>📩 Get email notifications for new episodes: <a href="https://jessicalfisher.kartra.com/page/tpprnotify">⁠https://jessicalfisher.kartra.com/page/tpprnotify⁠</a> </p>
