Your pet's smile is more than just cute - it's a window into their whole-body wellness. 🐾

Did you know dental disease is the most common medical problem we see in dogs and cats? But here's the good news: a few mindful habits can make a world of difference.

Probiotics help balance oral bacteria, antioxidants and omega-3s support healthy gums, and yes, even gentle daily brushing can dramatically reduce plaque and inflammation.

Oral health isn't just about fresh breath, it's about comfort and longevity for the ones we love. 💚

When we talk about true wellness for our pets, we have to start at the foundation. The GUT. The digestive system plays a central role in immunity, inflammation, nutrient absorption, and even behavior, yet it’s often overlooked until symptoms appear. When the gut is out of balance, the entire body feels it.

That’s why I place such a strong emphasis on supporting the microbiome with intentional, gentle care. Dr. Katie’s Remedies TUMMY was created to help soothe the digestive tract and support healthy gut flora. By supporting the gut, we’re helping reduce chronic inflammation and give the body the tools it needs to restore balance naturally.

And that’s where true, lasting wellness begins. 🐾💚

So much gratitude for this beautiful reflection and for being part of a growing, heart-led conversation around pet health. 💚

What continues to inspire me most is the community—the practitioners, educators, brands, and pet parents who are willing to ask better questions, share knowledge generously, and support one another in service of healthier animals and humans alike.

True healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens when we listen, collaborate, and remember that our pets’ wellbeing is deeply connected to our own. I’m honored to be part of this space and to walk alongside so many thoughtful voices who are helping reshape the future of integrative pet health.

Here’s to curiosity, connection, and continued learning together. 🐾✨

2026 is here, and I'm reflecting on the first year of Raw Remedies Podcast. I want to thank you all for your support and your enthusiasm, it means the world to me. This year is going to bring new content, new guests, and a bigger emphasis on human functional health and how our health ties together with our pets' health. I hope you'll stay along for the journey!

If you haven't yet listened and don't know where to start, here are my top played episodes of 2025:
1. Revolutionizing the approach to oral health with Dr. Emily Stein of TEEF for Life - Prebiotic Pet Dental Health

2. Ancestral healing meets modern science with Sean Cahill of Tvati Pet

3. Using herbs, hugging trees, and a natural approach to GERD with Rita Hogan (Canine Herbalist)

4. The incredible link between nutrition & behavior with Dr. Conor Brady (Dogs First)

5. Like heals like: unlocking the ancient art of homeopathy with Dr. Katie Kangas (to put it in perspective, this was the last episode of 2025 yet made it into the top 5; that goes to show how awesome it was!)

L.ink to listen to my podcast is in the comments, or search for Raw Remedies Podcast anywhere you listen, including YouTube. Happy listening

What looks safer can actually lead to long-term pain, disease, and higher costs later. 🦷

Anesthesia-free dental cleanings may make teeth look clean, but what’s under the surface tells a different story. Plaque and tartar below the gumline stay behind, and hidden issues like bone loss, abscesses, and infection can quietly worsen. And left untreated, they lead to pain, infection, and tooth loss…especially risky for small breeds.

Without anesthesia, dogs can’t receive X-rays or thorough subgingival cleaning, and sudden movement during the procedure can cause gum injury or fear of future dental care. There’s also a small risk of inhaling debris into the lungs.

🩺 The safest approach: daily brushing + professional cleanings under anesthesia.

Today on Inside Scoop, Dr. Katie Kangas joins us to share safe dental care strategies, top supplements, and a bonus Post-Dental & Anesthesia Recovery Protocol for members.

Protect their mouth — protect their body. 🦷💚

I’m heading back to Inside Scoop, and I couldn’t be more excited to be part of this conversation. 💚

If you care about your pet’s long-term health, comfort, and vitality, this is one discussion I truly don’t want you to miss.

Dental health is one of the most overlooked aspects of pet care, yet it quietly influences everything: chronic inflammation, immune function, organ health, pain levels, and ultimately, longevity. What’s happening in your dog or cat’s mouth doesn’t stay in the mouth.

On December 21st, I’ll be joining Dr. Karen Becker and Rodney Habib for a live Inside Scoop episode focused entirely on pet dental health. What’s really going on beneath the surface, what most pet parents are never told, and the simple, practical ways you can protect your pet over time.

Many of you may remember my previous Inside Scoop appearances, several of which have become some of the most-watched episodes in Inside Scoop history! That tells me how deeply pet parents want honest, grounded information they can actually use. This episode will be no different.

Join me
📅 December 21
🕛 12:00 PM EST
🎙 Live on Inside Scoop group

You can watch and participate live by:
Joining the Inside Scoop community on Facebook (where you can ask questions and engage in real time), or streaming at insidescoop.pet

Come curious. Leave empowered. And most importantly, leave with tools that help your pet feel better, live longer, and thrive more fully. I hope to see you there!

We love supporting local! 💚

Saturday, November 29th is *Small Business Saturday*. It is an integral reminder of how meaningful it is to support the local businesses that make our communities thrive and that includes your neighborhood pet shops. These independently owned stores are often the heart of their towns, providing personalized care, trusted recommendations, and a genuine love for your animals.

When you shop small, you’re not just making a purchase, you’re strengthening local economies, and keeping compassion at the center. So, as you stock up on your pet’s favorite healthy foods, supplements, and holistic remedies, consider visiting your local pet retailer and showing them a little extra appreciation this season. Every thoughtful choice adds up for your pets and your community. 💜

Check out these stores or visit us at Dr. Katie's (Link in comments)
• Carlsbad Pet and Feed– with 4 locations across Southern California
• Pet Power Studio– located in beautiful Encinitas, CA
• Pug & Hound Pet Apothecary – Geneva, IL
• Nautical Dog- Pet Market & Dog Wash– Williamsburg, VA

As we move into the busy end of year season, it’s not just people who feel the shift, our pets do too. Changes in routine, visitors, travel, or loud festivities can all trigger stress and anxiety in dogs and cats. Supporting their nervous system during these times can make a world of difference for their comfort and well-being.

In addition to mindful moments, I love recommending the STRESS Remedy. This gentle homeopathic formula helps calm the body and mind naturally, without sedation. It can be used for both dogs and cats, whether they’re facing fireworks, car rides, boarding stays, or simply the extra bustle of the season.

A calm nervous system truly is a vibe and one your pets will thank you for. 🐾
