Pets may react differently to certain food components or environmental factors. Changes in behavior or general appearance often cannot be clearly attributed and can have various reasons. In some cases, individual sensitivity to certain ingredients also plays a role, which is why particular attention should be paid to the composition of the food.

Every 4th reported complaint involves skin & coat – every 5th, stomach & gut.

Medicross customer survey of over 4,500 pet owners, 2024–2026.³

Every animal is different – what one pet tolerates without any problem may affect another differently. A conscious look at feeding is considered by many pet owners a good starting point for their animal’s well-being.

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to:

How do I send in the fur sample correctly?
Cut 10–20 hairs from your animal as close to the skin as possible – a spot on the neck or back works well. Put the hairs into a small paper or plastic bag and stick it onto your submission form (the PDF from your order confirmation) at the marked spot. Then fold the submission form, put it into a normal envelope and send it by post to the address given in the confirmation. At the same time, fill in the online questionnaire at fragebogen.medicross.com with your order number.
How many hairs are needed for the test?
We need about 10 to 20 hairs from your pet – the length of the hair does not matter. It is only important that the hairs are clean and dry.
What fur length does my animal need for the test?
The length does not matter. Even very short fur of just a few millimetres works, as long as you can collect the required amount of 10–20 hairs. What counts is the number, not the length.
What do I do with short-haired animals or very little fur?
The test is also possible without any problem for short-haired breeds, thin fur or bald patches. You can combine hairs from different parts of the body – neck, back, flank or tail all work equally well. Combed-out or shed hairs without a root are also suitable, for example from the brush, as long as they are clean and dry and you can collect the minimum amount of 10–20 hairs.
How does the ordering process work?
You can order our tests quickly and easily online. Select the test you want, add it to your shopping cart, and follow the steps at checkout. Once you have completed your order, you will receive an order confirmation by email along with further information on how to perform the test and a submission form to print out yourself.
How does the Medicross hair analysis work?
You cut off 10–20 hairs from your pet, put them into a small paper or plastic bag and stick it onto the submission form from your order confirmation at the marked spot. You send both to us by post. At the same time, you fill in our online questionnaire with your personal order number. The sample is then analysed and you receive the written evaluation as a PDF by email.

¹ Test extension
Please note that substances marked with ¹ are optional and can be added to the evaluation for a surcharge. During checkout you have the option to select this add-on to include the desired substances in your animal’s personal analysis.
Individual food intolerances in animals
Some animals may react sensitively to certain ingredients in the feed. This can lead to individual peculiarities in feed conversion, which may manifest themselves in the area of digestion. In contrast to immunological reactions, classic allergies are not to the fore here. Possible triggers could include certain protein sources, types of grain or added ingredients. The causes of such reactions can vary greatly from person to person.
Common Food Intolerances
Animals often experience intolerances to certain ingredients in food. These include protein sources such as beef, chicken, or fish, as well as certain grains like wheat or corn. Additives and preservatives can also be poorly tolerated by some animals.
What Role Do Micronutrients Play?
Micronutrients can make an important contribution to basic processes in the body, such as normal energy metabolism and the normal functioning of the immune system. As most micronutrients cannot be produced by the body itself, a balanced diet is important to meet individual requirements.
Daily Micronutrient Requirements
Pets can also have an increased need for vitamins, minerals and trace elements in certain life situations – such as high physical stress, changes in everyday life or environmental influences. Possible indications could include a change in activity, general tiredness or abnormalities in the skin and coat. If you notice such changes, it may make sense to take a closer look at your pet’s diet and environment.
Difference Between Micro- and Macronutrients
Macronutrients are nutrients that the body needs in large quantities, primarily for energy supply. Macronutrients include carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Micronutrients such as vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and amino acids, on the other hand, do not provide direct energy but fulfill important supporting functions in metabolism and contribute to numerous bodily processes.
Do medications or a worming treatment affect the result?
Since our method is not a biochemical blood measurement, you can usually carry out the test even if your animal is receiving medication – for example cortisone, antibiotics, painkillers or a worming treatment. Please state the current medications and supplementary feed in the online questionnaire – this helps us with the interpretation. Any change to the medication should be discussed exclusively with your vet.
Can I do the test while my animal is undergoing treatment?
Yes. The test is independent of any ongoing veterinary treatment and does not interfere with it. However, it does not replace a veterinary assessment: in the case of acute complaints or signs of illness, please always contact your vet first.
Do shampoo, spot-on or flea treatments affect the sample?
For the sample, the hairs should be clean and dry. So try not to bathe your animal immediately before taking the sample, and do not take the hairs directly from a freshly treated spot, for example after a spot-on product. Otherwise, externally applied grooming and anti-parasite products are unproblematic for taking the sample – feel free to mention them in the online questionnaire.
How long does it take to get the test result?
Once the hair sample has reached us, the evaluation usually takes around 18 working days. With the express service, this time is shortened accordingly. You will automatically receive an email as soon as the personal evaluation for your animal is ready.
In what form do I receive the test results?
You receive the evaluation as a PDF document by email. That way you can open it on your smartphone, tablet or computer and print it out yourself if you wish. There is no additional postal delivery.
How do I understand the evaluation? What do „Deficiency“ and „Need“ mean?
The evaluation works with clear scales and plain terms: „Deficiency“ points to areas in which our analysis shows a distinctly noticeable expression. „Need“ describes a more moderate observation, where you could pay more conscious attention to certain feed components or routines in everyday life. The percentage values next to them express the intensity of the individual resonance. Both terms are meant as an impulse for reflection and do not replace a veterinary diagnosis.
Who can I contact if I have questions about the evaluation?
Our team is available to you by email or phone. You can also book a consultation appointment directly if you would like to discuss the results together.
How do I order the test for my animal?
Select the test in our online shop, add it to your shopping cart and follow the ordering process. Once completed, you will receive a confirmation email with your personal submission form to print out yourself and all further information.
Will I be sent a test kit by post?
No, we deliberately do not send a test kit. Instead, after your order you receive your personal submission form as a PDF by email to print out yourself. You put your animal’s hair sample into a small paper or plastic bag and stick it onto the printed submission form at the marked spot. You place both into a normal envelope and send it to us. This saves shipping time and packaging waste and speeds up the process for you.
I have not received an order confirmation – what should I do?
Depending on the payment method, it can take up to 24 hours for the confirmation with the submission form to reach you. Please also check your spam or promotions folder first. If you still have not found anything after 24 hours, write to us at info@medicross.com – we will then send you the confirmation manually.
Can I use the test for several animals?
Each test is designed for one animal, as the evaluation is created individually. If you would like to test several animals, please order a separate test for each animal.
Can I withdraw from or cancel my order?
After your order you have a 14-day right of withdrawal – but only as long as you have not yet downloaded your submission form. Downloading the submission form starts the service, and the right of withdrawal expires early. Once the 14-day period has passed or the submission form has already been downloaded, cancellation is no longer possible. As long as both conditions are met, simply send us an email with your order number to info@medicross.com.
