A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I thought bone broths were essentially the same, just different flavors. It was great to learn that this is not the case and that there are different collagens. It will definitely impact the both broth I buy for my dog and myself!

Opie and Lady’s mom · Jul 2026

There are not enough words to express how grateful I am for Dr. Katie. From our very first virtual visit, it was clear that she has an incredible wealth of knowledge when it comes to animal health and well-being, but what truly sets her apart is the genuine compassion she has for every animal she cares for. She doesn’t just treat symptoms; Dr. Katie takes the time to listen, investigate, and develop a plan that gives your pet the very best chance to thrive. Dr. Katie has been absolutely instrumental in helping my dog through his ongoing gastrointestinal issues, and I honestly don’t know where we would be without her guidance and expertise. Thanks to her dedication, patience, and determination to get to the root of the problem, my dog is doing so much better. She never makes you feel rushed, always answers every question with kindness, and truly treats your pet as if they were her own. Dr. Katie is the kind of holistic veterinarian every pet owner hopes to find. She is brilliant, compassionate, and wholeheartedly committed to improving the lives of the animals she cares for. I trust her completely, and I can’t thank her enough for the incredible difference she has made in my dog’s life. She has given me peace of mind, hope, and the confidence that my dog is receiving the absolute best care possible! 🐶🫶

As a new listener and a current patient of Dr. Katie Kangas, I was so excited to discover this podcast! I started with the bone broth episode and was amazed by how much I learned right away. I love hearing Dr. Kangas share her knowledge in a different format, and I’m really looking forward to learning from both her and Clayton Payne. If the rest of the episodes are anything like the first one, I know this podcast is going to be an incredible resource. I’m excited to keep learning more about pet health and how to give my baby Sasha the happiest, healthiest life possible!

First, a full disclosure - Dr. Katie is my cats’ amazing vet. Regardless, the 2.0 pet parent community is in for a treat with the launch of her new podcast channel. I already know a great deal about holistic and integrative pet health care, especially pertaining to cats. I learn so much new information listening to the, “Breaking Down Bone Broth” episode. I loved Clayton’s detailed and clear explanations of the different collagen types and the best bone broth sources and uses for each. Plus, it was interesting to learn about the “high-heat kill step” likely missing from most homemade bone broth and its importance for killing off pathogens that could adversely affect histamine in the finished product.
