If you’ve never booked a hair testing appointment before, here’s exactly what to expect on a clinic day in Te Puke, from the snip of hair to your pet’s personalised report.
What to bring
Not much at all. Your pet is welcome but doesn’t need to attend, the test only needs a small sample of their fur. It helps to jot down what they eat day to day, any treats, and anything you’ve noticed about their tummy, coat, energy or mood.
How the appointment works
Appointments are relaxed and unhurried. We take a small snip of hair, talk through your pet’s diet and everyday life, and I answer any questions. The visit itself is short, usually a gentle chat rather than anything clinical, and completely stress-free for your pet.
From snip to report
The sample is sent away for screening, and your personalised nutrition report follows soon after. We then go through it together, so you leave with clear, practical steps for supporting your pet, not just a list of results.
Booking a clinic day
Clinic days in Te Puke run by appointment. Get in touch to find a time that suits, and remember this gentle, supportive care always works alongside your vet, never instead of them.
