Mineral profile & toxic metals
HTMA fur testing for essential minerals, key mineral ratios and toxic metals such as lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury.
No supplement sales. No commercial conflict of interest.
Advanced HTMA Fur Analysis for Dogs, Cats & Horses
Independent laboratory testing of minerals, toxic metals and environmental exposure markers from a simple fur sample.
ICP-MS Triple Quad
50-200 mg sample
No supplement sales
Independent lab
Pesticides & Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (Tansy Ragwort)
Targeted screening for selected pesticide families as part of environmental exposure monitoring.
End 2026: Glyphosate & PFAS
Additional exposome panels are planned, including glyphosate-related markers and PFAS, depending on method validation.
Why Fur Analysis?
Fur grows over time and can reveal exposure and nutritional status over several weeks, while blood only shows what is happening right now.

Overall statusKey minerals
CaMgZnCuSeI
| Element | Result | Reference Range | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zinc (Zn) | 185 | 120-250 | Optimal |
| Copper (Cu) | 16.2 | 10-20 | High |
| Calcium (Ca) | 4300 | 2800-5600 | Optimal |
| Lead (Pb) | 0.35 | <0.10 | Alert |
Toxic metals
Lead is above the expected reference threshold and should be reviewed with exposure history.
Interpretation summary
Mineral profile is broadly balanced with one toxic exposure alert requiring follow-up.
