Why hair analysis?
Hair may reflect elemental composition over a longer period of time, which distinguishes it from tests performed on body fluids.
Different analytical methods provide different types of information and are not directly comparable.
Nutritional consultation
As part of the package, you can take advantage of a nutritional consultation regarding your cat’s diet. The consultation includes discussion of the results and their context in everyday feeding and nutrition practices.
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.
