Abstract
Theoretical assumptions of this the work present the range of selected morphological features of the dog (Canis lupus familiaris) and cat (Felis catus) hair. The practical part consisted in morphological analysis of 270 samples of dog and cat hair recovered during an investigation conducted in the territory of Cracow by the local Prosecutor’s Office. For this purpose, microscopic slides were made and analysed under an optical microscope for: colour, life cycle phase, shape of the medulla and the end of hair. Analysis of the results from the part dedicated to the examination allows answering the question whether microscopic analysis of dog and cat hairs based on selected morphological features allows identification of species.
