iHeartRadio Homeopathy 101 for Pet Parents: Does It Actually Work?
Is homeopathy actually legitimate, or is it just expensive water? Dr. Katie Kangas — DVM, CVA, CVCP, and founder of Integrative Veterinary Care in San Diego — joins The Pet Parenting Reset to demystify one of the most misunderstood corners of holistic pet care.
We get into what homeopathy actually is (hint: it's not the same thing as herbalism, and it's definitely not "just placebo"), how highly diluted remedies are supposed to work, and where they fit alongside — not instead of — the rest of your pet's care. Dr. Katie also walks through her own line, Dr. Katie's Remedies, and the thinking behind specific blends for things like seasonal sensitivity and everyday wellness support.
If you've heard the word "homeopathic" thrown around and never quite understood it, or you've been skeptical and want a straight answer from an actual vet, this episode is your permission slip to get curious.
Dr. Katie's Remedies are available now at Wild Wellness Pet.
