WHY HAIR?
YOUR PET’S HAIR. THEIR JOURNEY.
Hair is convenient to collect and can provide a practical sample for complementary nutritional assessment.
Our Hair Decode process begins with a hair sample collected according to our instructions. The sample then enters the appropriate testing pathway, supported by our Mineral Check partner.
The resulting information is considered alongside the wider picture of your pet.
This can include their age, breed, diet, lifestyle, feeding routine and the observations you make every day as their owner.
Hair is not a replacement for clinical examination. We do not claim that hair testing can diagnose disease.
Instead, our purpose is to provide a structured complementary service that helps owners organise information and have more informed conversations about nutritional support and veterinary care.
HAIR DECODE
A SIMPLE STARTING POINT Our Hair Decode service makes getting started straightforward. STEP 1 — COLLECT Collect your Hair Decode test kit from your local participating Post Office. STEP 2 — SAMPLE Collect your pet’s hair at home using the instructions provided. STEP 3 — POST Return the sample using the supplied postal instructions. STEP 4 — MINERAL CHECK The sample enters the Mineral Check testing pathway. STEP 5 — HAIR DECODE The available information is reviewed as part of your assessment. STEP 6 — TAILORED NUTRITION Discuss the nutritional information and appropriate next steps. Hair Decode: £155
HAIR IN THE POST
We understand that not every pet enjoys travelling.
MINERAL CHECK
OUR TESTING PARTNER Mineral Check supports the testing pathway within our Hair Decode service. Our customer journey is designed to be easy to understand: Hair in the Post ↓ Mineral Check ↓ Hair Decode ↓ Tailored Nutrition ↓ Track & Trace ↓ Four Seasons The testing information is considered within the appropriate complementary context. It should not be interpreted as a veterinary diagnosis.
HAIR HEALTH PRACTITIONERS
SUPPORTING OWNERS WITH INFORMATION Our Hair Health Practitioners provide complementary assessment, education and nutritional discussions. They can help owners understand the process, organise information and consider appropriate nutritional support. Our practitioners do not replace veterinary surgeons. Where a pet has symptoms, illness or a suspected medical problem, owners should contact their registered veterinary practice. Our role is complementary: Assess information. Educate owners. Discuss nutrition. Track changes. Encourage appropriate veterinary care.
TAILORED NUTRITION
EVERY PET IS DIFFERENT There is no single nutritional approach that suits every animal. Our nutritional discussions can consider: Age Breed Diet Lifestyle Feeding routine Hair Decode information Mineral Check information Owner observations Relevant history The objective is not to sell unnecessary products. It is to help owners make informed choices. OUR APPROACH Understand the starting point. Consider the information. Support where appropriate. Track the journey. Review regularly.
VITAL SALTS
SUPPORT FOR HAIR & SKIN HEALTH Our Vital Salts range can form part of a broader nutritional and wellbeing discussion where appropriate. Hair and skin are visible parts of your pet’s condition, but they are influenced by many factors, including diet, environment, grooming, age and individual circumstances. We therefore avoid a one-size-fits-all approach. Vital Salts are positioned as nutritional products, not veterinary medicines. Any product should be used according to its directions, and owners should seek veterinary advice where their pet has an existing health condition, is receiving treatment or has unexplained symptoms.

FAQ
Is Movember Diagnostics a medical service?
It is primarily a hair-health, wellness, education, research and men’s health-awareness initiative. It does not replace medical diagnosis or NHS healthcare.
Can a hair test diagnose disease?
No. Hair mineral analysis should not be presented as a standalone diagnostic method for disease.
What is a Mineral Check?
It is a hair-based mineral analysis used within the programme as a starting point for discussion and wellness education.
What is Iridology?
Iridology involves examining iris patterns within a complementary-health context. It is not scientifically established as a method of diagnosing disease and should not replace medical assessment.
Why include Iridology?
It can provide another complementary conversation about wellbeing, provided its limitations are clearly explained.
Why the barber’s chair?
Barbers often have regular contact with men and can provide a familiar setting for conversations about hair, wellbeing and appropriate signposting.
