Cat Hair Analysis

Price £95.00

Elemental Hair Analysis for cats is a powerful way to evaluate your cat’s nutrition, mineral balance, and toxic element burden. The test highlights key factors affecting skin and coat condition, digestion, immunity, behaviour, and urinary health. It also plays a crucial role in fertility and breeding, helping to identify deficiencies or excesses that may influence reproductive health, pregnancy, or litter development. With this knowledge, you can create a tailored nutritional plan that supports your cat’s vitality, resilience, and healthy longevity. The reports are thorough with detailed analysis, system-specific breakdowns, and practical guidance — see the sample provided for a full example.

Cat Hair Testing – Comprehensive Elemental Hair Analysis

Our Cat Elemental Hair Analysis screens for 24 elements, including essential minerals, trace elements, and toxic heavy metals. Using a small, non-invasive hair sample, the test provides a complete biochemical profile of your cat, covering:

  • Mineral ratios and balance
  • Metabolic type and glandular activity
  • Immune, digestive, and urinary system health
  • Skin and coat condition
  • Behaviour, mood, and temperament
  • Fertility, pregnancy, and litter development

Understanding your cat's biochemistry

The report is very comprehensive (around 30–35 pages) and not only lists mineral and toxin levels but explains their effects on your cat’s health, behaviour, and wellbeing. Clear commentary, alongside easy-to-read charts, makes it simple for owners and breeders to understand.

Toxic elements tested for include: aluminium, arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury, barium, vanadium, and nickel. These heavy metals are harmful, can interfere with reproduction, and may compromise long-term health.

Beneficial minerals tested for include: calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sulphur, sodium, potassium, zinc, copper, iron, manganese, selenium, cobalt, chromium, and silicon. These are essential for bone strength, muscle function, coat quality, metabolism, immunity, and reproduction.

Additional trace elements such as lithium, germanium, and strontium are also measured to give a complete picture of your cat’s mineral balance.

Elemental Hair Analysis helps guide nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle changes to support your cat’s unique needs. For breeders, it is particularly valuable in detecting deficiencies or toxic exposures that may affect fertility, pregnancy, and the health of kittens.

After testing, you’ll receive your results by email as a detailed PDF report (printed copy available upon request). Please see the sample report for a full example of the insights provided.

Toxic elements tested for

Here's the toxic elements hair analysis tests for,
Column one shows the element's scientific name,
the second column tells you the elements periodic symbol.
Element Name Element Symbol
Mercury Hg
Beryllium Be
Uranium U
Cadmium Cd
Aluminium Al
Arsenic As
Lead Pb

Elements listed above are toxic these "heavy metals" can interfere with a cat's normal biological processes and biochemical functions. Because they are present in the environment, they are present in all biological systems.

They are poisonous to cats, ideally they should not be present in their bodies in any quantity as they are injurious to health, excretion of them if found is advised to avoid bioaccumulation, either by detoxing or through a change of diet or vitamins and minerals supplementation.

Beneficial minerals tested for

Here's the beneficial minerals hair analysis tests for,
Column one shows the mineral element's scientific name,
the second column tells you the elements periodic symbol.
Element Name Element Symbol
Calcium Ca
Phosphorus P
Selenium Se
Sulphur S
Magnesium Mg
Iron Fe
Boron B
Potassium K
Sodium Na
Manganese Mn
Cobalt Co
Copper Cu
Chromium Cr
Molybdenum Mo
Zinc Zn

Elements listed above are required by the cats to reach optimum performance levels; they have been widely studied and are known to essential for many biological functions within cats.

They play a part in many functions including the endocrine system, muscular activity, maintaining the integrity of the skeleton and joints, reproduction and overall development. They must be replenished through foods or vitamins and minerals supplementation.

Additional elements tested for
