Dr. Katie Kangas, DVM, CVA, CVCP
In-Person & Virtual Consultations
“When my dog was critically ill and no other vets would take his case, I felt completely helpless—until I found Dr. Katie Kangas. Through telemedicine, Dr. Katie not only listened when no one else would, but she also took swift, compassionate action that ultimately saved my dog’s life. Her deep knowledge of integrative veterinary care, combined with her genuine dedication, gave us hope when we had none. Even from a distance, her guidance was precise, personalized, and incredibly effective. She and her team treated us with such kindness, urgency, and respect—it was unlike anything we’d experienced before. Thanks to her, my dog is not only alive but thriving today. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Katie and her amazing team for going above and beyond when it mattered most. They are true lifesavers, and I can’t recommend their care enough.”
