After your purchase, you will receive a comprehensive set of forms to fill out. These forms will ask for important information about your dog, including their breed, age, current diet, lifestyle, and any specific health concerns.

    •  Please include Dr. Candy’s name and email as a practitioner in your Glacier Peak submission form. Results will be sent to both you and Dr. Candy once processing is complete.

After you submit your forms, Dr. Candy carefully reviews all the details about your dog’s health and needs. She then creates a fully customized holistic wellness and nutrition plan designed just for your pet.

Within two weeks, you’ll receive:

  • A detailed PDF report with Dr. Candy’s recommendations
