Collecting a hair sample from your pet is quick, easy, and completely non-invasive. It\u2019s the first step in uncovering hidden health imbalances and it can be done right from the comfort of your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether you’re testing for nutritional sensitivities, digestive support, or overall wellness, follow this simple step-by-step guide to ensure you get a clean and reliable sample for testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Select an area of your pet’s body where hair is thick enough typically near the neck, shoulder blades, or thigh area. For long-haired pets, it’s often best to collect hair from underneath so it\u2019s not visible afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nImportant: Do not use hair that has already fallen out or been brushed off the sample should be freshly cut from close to the skin or taken out with the root.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Cut the Hair Close to the Skin<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Using clean scissors or clippers, cut about a teaspoon-sized amount of hair. Try to get as close to the root as possible, as this contains the most relevant data for testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avoid cutting too much from one spot you can take small amounts from different areas if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Place Hair in the Sample Bag or Envelope<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Make sure the hair is dry and clean (not oily or wet). Place it into the provided collection bag or a clean envelope. Do not use plastic bags unless instructed moisture can affect the sample quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Label the Sample and activate your test<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Include your pet’s name and your phone number on the collection bag. This helps us match the sample with your pet\u2019s profile accurately and contact you in case anything went wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nImportant: Scan the QR code on the collection bag and fill in your pet’s details so we can ensure your pet’s sample will be securely matched with your pet’s report.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Step 5: Send the Sample for Testing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Follow the shipping instructions provided with your test kit. Usually, it only takes a few days for the lab to receive your sample, and you\u2019ll get results in about a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
