Check your cat’s heavy metal levels
Assess toxic element exposure and your cat’s toxic burden through hair analysis.
The analysis is performed using a laboratory method (ICP-OES) and is informational in nature — it supports the assessment of exposure to toxic elements and the impact of the environment on the cat’s body.

Individual exposure of the cat
✓ living environment (e.g. pollution)
✓ diet and food sources
✓ contact with materials containing heavy metals
✓ daily habits and living conditions
The analysis supports the assessment of the cat’s exposure to toxic elements.
When is it worth considering the test?
✓ suspected exposure to toxic elements
✓ need for heavy metal exposure assessment
✓ living environment (e.g. industrial areas)
✓ cats living in specific environmental conditions
✓ regular monitoring of the animal and follow-up testing
Why hair analysis?
Hair may reflect the long-term accumulation of toxic elements, which distinguishes it from tests performed on body fluids.
Different analytical methods provide different types of information and are not directly comparable.
Nutritional consultation
The test does not include a consultation.
Important information
Elemental hair analysis (HTMA) is intended for informational and educational purposes.
It is not a veterinary diagnostic test and is not used to diagnose diseases or make medical decisions.
If you have concerns about your animal’s condition, consultation with a veterinarian is recommended.

Almond and his urinary
stone problem

Almond has always suffered from recurring problems with kidney stones. I was looking forward to the EHAA tests. This is something that ultimately allows me to maintain the correct levels of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium in my cat’s diet and successfully prevent their formation.

Filemon, the picky eater

The cat is not adapted to starvation, the vet reminded me that even 3 days without food can lead Philemon to death and that his appetite may be reduced by calcium or phosphorus deficiencies. Thanks to EHAA, I can take care of my fussy eater cat and supplement what he needs and encourage him to eat again.

Mizia suffers from an oncological disease. Thanks to EHAA, I can check exactly what she needs in this difficult time and enrich her diet with the necessary ingredients. This allows us to increase her comfort as much as possible and avoid the destruction of her body.
