Fur Tissue Mineral Analysis (FTMA)for Dogs

A deeper, science‑based way to understand your dog’s health — from the inside out

Most dogs look “fine” on the outside long before deeper imbalances show up. Paw chewing, itching, anal licking, anxiety, gut issues, ear infections, low energy — these are all signs the body is struggling internally.   FTMA helps us understand why these symptoms keep happening and what your dog’s system actually needs to heal.

What Is FTMA?

Fur Tissue Mineral Analysis is a non‑invasive test that measures the mineral patterns stored in your dog’s fur. Minerals are the body’s “spark plugs” — they control:

• digestion
• detoxification
• immune balance
• hormones
• energy production
• stress response
• inflammation
• organ function

Because fur holds a long‑term record of these patterns, FTMA gives us a clear picture of what’s been happening inside your dog’s system over the past several months — not just on the day of a blood test.

This is why FTMA is so powerful for dogs with chronic or recurring symptoms.

What FTMA Can Reveal About Your Dog

FTMA helps identify:

• mineral deficiencies and excesses
• gut stress and yeast activity
• detoxification strain
• inflammation patterns
• adrenal and thyroid stress
• immune over‑activation
• oxidation rate (fast vs slow metabolism)
• hidden organ stress
• nutrient absorption issues
• why symptoms keep returning

This is the information we need to stop guessing and start supporting your dog properly.

Common Dog Symptoms FTMA Helps With

FTMA is especially helpful for dogs with:

• paw chewing, licking between toes, red paws
• anal licking or scooting
• chronic itching or “allergies”
• ear infections (recurring) or head shaking
• soft stools, vomiting, gut issues
• anxiety, reactivity, restlessness
• yeast problems
• seasonal flare‑ups
• poor coat quality
• low energy or over-arousal
• poo eating (a classic sign of mineral depletion)

These symptoms are rarely caused by a single trigger. They’re usually the end result of deeper internal imbalance -  and FTMA shows us exactly what that imbalance is.

Why Diet Alone Isn’t Fixing It

Many processed foods -  including popular vet‑recommended brands - can:

• block mineral absorption
• feed yeast and inflammation
• stress the gut lining
• create long‑term deficiencies
• disrupt immune balance

This is why dogs can be on the same food for years and suddenly develop symptoms.
The internal imbalance has been building quietly.

FTMA helps us understand how your dog’s diet is affecting their internal health — and what needs adjusting.

Why Guessing Supplements Doesn’t Work

Two dogs with the same symptoms can have completely different mineral patterns.

One may need calming minerals.
Another may need detox support.
Another may need gut repair.

Without knowing the internal pattern, supplements become guesswork — and often make things worse.

FTMA removes the guesswork so we can choose the right support for your dog’s biology.

How Long Does It Take to Fix Mineral Imbalances?

Mineral patterns don’t shift overnight.
A dog’s body needs time to rebuild, rebalance, and repair.

Most dogs take 6–18 months to fully correct mineral imbalances.

This isn’t a quick fix — it’s a long‑term investment in your dog’s health.
But the payoff is huge:

• fewer vet visits
• fewer flare‑ups
• fewer medications
• a calmer, healthier, more resilient dog
• long‑term stability instead of recurring symptoms

You’re not just treating a problem — you’re rebuilding your dog’s foundation for life.

What You Receive With an FTMA

Your FTMA package includes:

• a full mineral analysis
• clear interpretation in simple, owner‑friendly language
• your dog’s oxidation type (fast/slow)
• organ system stress patterns
• gut, yeast, detox and immune insights
• personalised supplement recommendations from our practitioner only range
• practitioner‑grade recommendations tailored to your dog
• optional follow‑up consults for ongoing support

This is a complete roadmap for rebuilding your dog’s internal balance.

Why FTMA Works When Other Approaches Don’t

Most treatments only manage symptoms.
FTMA identifies the cause.

When we correct the internal imbalance, symptoms naturally reduce — without relying on endless steroids, antibiotics, or trial‑and‑error products.
