You don'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're leaning holistic and your vet is coming from a conventional framework.
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 "I read it online" is helpful versus when it's leading you astray.
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.
