Dr. Kate Stevens

Graduated from North Kitsap High School

B.S. in Animal Science from Washington State University

Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Washington State University in 2013

Hello CAWC family and friends! I joined Companion Animal Wellness Center in 2015, and plan to stay for a very long time. Poulsbo is home for me; my family is in the area, and my parents brought our dog to CAWC starting in 2003 when it first opened. When I’m not at work I love hiking, paddling and biking around the Puget Sound with my two big dogs Salty and Indiana.

When my family got our first dog (after much begging by the children), I started to realize my love for pets and all that they add to our lives. I studied Animal Science as an undergraduate, and headed into vet school to become a facilitator of the human-animal bond that meant so much to me. During my final year of veterinary school, I spent a two week internship at Companion which set a high bar for the practice culture and the medicine I’ve wanted to be a part of since. I’m passionate about preventive care, pain management, and building a healthier community for people and pets. It’s an honor to work with a wonderful team who feel the same way.

Description

Early Life

Dr. Kate Stevens grew up in Poulsbo. Her family always had pets and friends always remarked how well she related to dogs and cats. It seemed a natural choice to become a veterinarian. She attended Washington State University for both undergrad and graduate school. She became Dr. Kate Stevens in 2013.

Medical Philosophy of Dr. Kate Stevens

Dr. Kate Stevens believes the human-animal bond is a fundamental relationship that keeps both the human and the animal healthy. In 2012, she interned at CAWC. She felt that a vet clinic focused on preventive care and educating clients to care for their dogs and cats fit with how she wanted to practice medicine. She joined our animal hospital Companion Animal Wellness Center in 2016. Dr. Stevens likes that the name honors both the role pets play in our lives and her goal of preventing rather than reacting to disease.

Animal Clinic Location

The vet clinic is located between Poulsbo and Bainbridge Island. This also makes it convenient to Suquamish, Kingston, Hansville and Port Gamble. It is not uncommon for us to see patients from Seattle, Silverdale and Bremerton too.
