About Dr. Katie

I’m Dr. Katie Kangas, DVM, CVA, CVCP — an integrative veterinarian and passionate advocate for pets and the people who love them. My career began in conventional practice, where I often saw recurring health issues like allergies, gut problems, and chronic pain. I realized that true wellness isn’t just about managing symptoms, but restoring balance and supporting the body’s natural ability to heal.

As Medical Director at the San Diego Humane Society & SPCA, I gained extensive experience in preventive and rehabilitative care. In 2008, I expanded my training through the Chi Institute. This holistic perspective reshaped how I approached healing and inspired me to blend science with natural therapies for the best possible outcomes.

Over the past two decades, I’ve created personalized wellness plans for countless pets, focusing on nutrition, gut health, dental care, pain management, and chronic conditions. Again and again, I found that natural, evidence-informed remedies could gently and effectively support the body’s innate intelligence.

That discovery led to Dr. Katie’s Remedies, a line of trusted, natural formulas developed to address the most common challenges I’ve encountered in practice. Each remedy reflects my commitment to giving pets safe, effective options for lasting health, comfort, and vitality.

My mission is simple: to help animals live vibrant, pain-free, joy-filled lives, and to empower pet parents with knowledge and tools to support their companions every step of the way.
