Cat Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a cutting-edge non-invasive test that utilizes a hair sample to provide invaluable insights into your cat’s mineral levels and heavy metal load. With our partner lab’s extensive experience since 1975, specializing in HTMA testing, you can trust their expertise and precision in delivering accurate results.
Just like with humans, a cat’s hair serves as a remarkable repository of current and past trace element levels. Toxic elements infiltrate the hair shaft and follicle from the bloodstream, becoming fixed as they intertwine with trace elements. This unique characteristic enables HTMA to uncover valuable information about your cat’s well-being.

Cat Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) Test Considerations
Hair analysis results are impacted by hair colouring, bleaching, perms, dandruff shampoo, and darkening agents. Samples must be from untreated hair. If treated, wait 3-4 months for regrowth or provide a pubic hair/nail sample. Underarm hair is not suitable.

I had a test done for myself and also my cat. The one for my cat showed a few low levels of iron and calcium. I am going to take the results to my vet so she can help me correctly supplement.
