Question 1

How are the consultations conducted?

Accepted Answer

All consultations are conducted virtually for your convenience. After your purchase, you will receive a comprehensive set of forms, via e-mail, to fill out online. These forms will ask for important information about your dog, including their breed, age, current diet, lifestyle, and any specific health concerns.

Some consult types may include a Pet Intolerance Test from Glacier Peak Holistics. You will receive the test kit in the mail and it typically takes 7-10 business days to get your dog's results.

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.

For more information and step-by-step layout see the section 'How It Works' on each consult page.

Question 2

How much time will I need to dedicate to a Holistic Dog Health Consultation from Dr. Candy?

Accepted Answer

The initial virtual consultation process is streamlined and efficient. Filling out the detailed forms takes about 20-30 minutes, and you will receive your personalized video and PDF plan within two weeks. Implementing the recommendations is designed to fit into your daily routine with minimal extra time required.

Question 3

How do I know this will work for my dog?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Candy’s holistic approach is based on years of experience and a deep understanding of canine health. Each consultation is personalized to your dog’s specific history, lifestyle, and needs, which greatly increases the likelihood of success.

That said, every pet is an individual. Chronic conditions often have multiple underlying factors, and no practitioner can promise that a single recommendation will be a complete “cure.” Instead, Dr. Candy’s goal is to give you practical, natural tools that support your dog’s healing and overall goals- with the flexibility to adjust the plan if needed to find what works best for your companion.

Question 4

How will I receive the personalized video and PDF plan?

Accepted Answer

You will receive the personalized video and comprehensive plan PDF via email within two weeks of submitting the forms or receiving results of your dog's Intolerance Test Results. The video will include Dr. Candy’s detailed explanations and additional tips, while the PDF will provide a structured plan for easy reference.

Question 5

Can I ask questions after receiving the plan?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! You are entitled to two follow-up emails included with your consultation purchase, allowing you to ask any questions or seek clarifications after receiving your plan. For more in-depth discussions, video calls and additional follow-up consultations are available upon request.

Question 6

Do you offer follow-up consultations or ongoing support?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each consultation includes follow-up email support so you can ask questions or request clarifications after receiving your plan. Most consultation packages include two follow-up emails: one shortly after you receive your full plan, and another within 1–3 months to check in on your dog’s progress.
If your dog’s needs change, additional emails, video calls, or consultations can be scheduled. These regular check-ins help ensure your dog stays on track and continues to thrive.

Question 7

How often should I schedule follow-up consultations?

Accepted Answer

The ideal timing of follow-up consultations depends on your dog's progress and any changes in their health or behavior. For chronic conditions that require multiple products or ongoing adjustments, Dr. Candy typically recommends scheduling a follow-up about three months after the initial plan is implemented.

Question 8

How quickly will I see results from a holistic plan?

Accepted Answer

Every pet responds differently. Many pet parents notice positive changes within 1–2 weeks, while more complex conditions — such as autoimmune disease — may take longer. In these cases, pets often begin feeling significantly better internally within the first month, but it may take 2–3 months before you see visible improvements on the outside.

Question 9

What health concerns are best suited for holistic care?

Accepted Answer

Holistic medicine is an excellent choice for both prevention and long-term wellness. It helps keep healthy dogs thriving and can be especially valuable for chronic conditions that tend to return even after conventional treatments. By looking for root causes — not just symptoms — Dr. Candy’s approach supports lasting improvements in your dog’s overall health and quality of life.

Question 10

Can holistic consultations help with allergies, sensitivities, and chronic conditions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dr. Candy works with these issues every day and has extensive experience helping dogs with allergies, food sensitivities, and chronic health concerns. When pet parents follow the plan as outlined, their dogs consistently experience significant, lasting improvements.

Question 11

What natural treatments or therapies might be recommended?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Candy takes an integrative approach, drawing from a variety of safe and effective natural therapies. Common recommendations include whole-food nutrition plans, targeted supplements, herbal medicine, and homeopathic remedies. Cold laser therapy is frequently used to reduce pain and inflammation, while lifestyle and environmental adjustments may be suggested to further support healing. Each plan is personalized to your dog’s unique needs, with the goal of creating lasting improvements in overall health and quality of life.

Question 12

Does Dr. Candy’s holistic care work alongside my current veterinarian’s treatments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dr. Candy practices integrative medicine, combining holistic and conventional approaches to create safe, effective care plans. She carefully reviews each dog’s health history and current medications from the submitted forms to ensure there are no conflicts. If necessary, she may recommend adjusting or discontinuing a supplement, or balancing the dosage of certain herbs, so that all therapies work together safely.

When appropriate, Dr. Candy supports the use of medications prescribed by a pet’s primary veterinarian — such as antibiotics or short-term anti-inflammatories — to help relieve pain or discomfort. These conventional tools can make pets feel better in the short term, while her holistic plan works to address root causes and support long-term wellness. Every recommendation is designed to complement, not conflict with, a pet’s existing veterinary treatments.

Question 13

Are there any risks or side effects of holistic treatments?

Accepted Answer

Holistic therapies are generally very safe, especially compared to many conventional medications that often carry stronger risks or long-term side effects. In most cases, dogs tolerate natural treatments extremely well.
Occasionally, sensitive pets may experience mild digestive upset, such as diarrhea, gas, or occasional vomiting when transitioning to new foods or starting certain supplements.

To minimize this, Dr. Candy provides clear instructions on starting doses and tapering up to the clinically appropriate amount. Because these are natural therapies, there is always flexibility: a product can be paused, discontinued, or introduced more gradually if needed. This individualized approach helps pets adjust comfortably while keeping the benefits of the holistic plan on track.

Question 14

What if my dog needs urgent or emergency care?

Accepted Answer

If your dog is experiencing an urgent or life-threatening situation, you should always seek care from your local veterinarian or the nearest emergency clinic right away. Do not wait for a response from Dr. Candy, as she is not always immediately available.

If during a consultation it appears that a pet may be dealing with a severe condition — such as diabetes, Addison’s disease, or another critical illness — Dr. Candy will advise you to pursue direct local care or stabilization.

Pet parents should seek immediate veterinary attention if their dog shows concerning symptoms such as frequent vomiting, persistent or severe diarrhea, signs of dehydration, swelling, breathing difficulties, sudden collapse, or any other changes that appear serious or rapidly worsening.

Question 15

What is the full cost of a holistic consultation?

Accepted Answer

Consultations start at $399. Most dogs also need an initial set of supplements or products, which typically costs $200–$300 for a supply that lasts 2–3 months. Pet parents who consult with Dr. Candy receive special discounts on some recommended supplements or bundles.

Question 16

Do you offer payment plans or bundles for multiple sessions?

Accepted Answer

At this time, we do not offer formal payment plans. However, families with multiple pets or those scheduling more than one consultation may be eligible for discounted pricing. If you’d like to explore options for multi-pet or multi-session savings, please reach out to us directly with your questions.

Question 17

Do you sell or recommend specific supplements?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dr. Candy’s supplement recommendations are based on years of clinical experience, guided by what has consistently worked — and what has not — for the many pets she has helped. Over time, she has evaluated countless products and found that certain trusted brands deliver the best results for specific health situations.

For more than 12 years, Dr. Candy has relied on Standard Process whole-food-based supplements, which continue to provide safe, reliable, and effective results. These supplements are available securely through our online store at JourneysHolisticLife.com or in bundles with consultation packages. Every Standard Process product we provide comes directly from the manufacturer, ensuring freshness and proper handling so that the therapeutic nutritional compounds remain fully protected.

Question 18

Do you provide meal plans with homemade food recipes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in many consultations Dr. Candy provides customized meal plans or homemade food recipes. All recipes are designed to be nutritionally complete and balanced, with the correct vitamins, minerals, and portion sizes for your dog. Each recipe comes with clear ingredient lists, preparation instructions, and feeding guidelines so you can confidently prepare meals at home.

For pets with food sensitivities, Dr. Candy may recommend a limited ingredient elimination diet. These short-term recipes (typically 1–3 months) are carefully formulated to meet all nutritional needs while helping identify triggers that affect your pet’s health. The information gained during this process becomes the foundation for building future diets and recipes.

All recipes focus on whole-food nutrition, using natural nutrient sources such as beef liver, sea kelp, and other nutrient-dense superfoods. This approach provides complete vitamin complexes, minerals, and enzymes in their natural form — far superior to the synthetic additives often seen in commercial kibble. Processed pet foods are made with low-quality ingredients and cooked at high temperatures, which damages natural nutrients and forces manufacturers to add artificial replacements at the end of their ingredient list. Whole-food recipes maintain nutrient synergy, are easier for your dog’s body to absorb and use, and provide better long-term health results.

Every recipe also includes guidance on how long to use it and safe transition steps for introducing new foods.

Question 19

Do you only see dogs, or do you also consult for cats and other pets?

Accepted Answer

The consultation packages currently on this website are designed for dogs, but we may also be able to provide support for cats, birds, reptiles, and other small pets- please reach out to us directly to discuss your pet’s needs.
At this time, consultations are not offered for horses or farm animals.

Question 20

Do you provide lab testing, or should I get that from my regular vet?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Candy does not provide traditional laboratory testing like a local veterinary clinic. In some cases, she may recommend at-home test kits or specialty products that can give additional insight into your pet’s health. Any lab work obtained through your regular veterinarian is very valuable, so please attach those results to your consultation forms so Dr. Candy can review them and use them to guide her holistic recommendations.

Question 21

How do you handle refunds?

Accepted Answer

Refund requests are considered on a case-by-case basis. If your circumstances change or you are not satisfied with your consultation, please contact us at journeysmobilevet@gmail.com or use the contact form below. We’ll review your situation promptly and work with you toward a fair resolution. For safety reasons, we are unable to accept returns or issue refunds for supplements that have been opened.

Question 22

What happens if I need to reschedule or cancel a consultation?

Accepted Answer

You may request a cancellation within 24 hours of submitting your consultation. After that time, cancellations cannot be guaranteed, as Dr. Candy may already be actively working on researching, calculating, and preparing your pet’s individualized plan.
If your pet’s health changes suddenly before your complete plan is delivered, postponing or rescheduling may be possible. Please reach out to us at journeysmobilevet@gmail.com or use the contact form below to discuss your situation.
