Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cell therapy uses a concentrated form of your own animal’s natural healing cells derived from fat tissue. These cells are capable of differentiating a variety of tissue types to reduce pain and inflammation. The cells are delivered to an area of damaged tissue where they stimulate regeneration and repair. The main goal of stem cell therapy is to provide long-term anti-inflammatory effects, slow the progression of disease and cartilage degeneration, and promote the healing of damaged tissue.

How Do You Decide If It’s Right for Your Pet?

  1. Is your dog not responding well or not tolerating medications?

  2. Has your veterinarian determined that orthopedic surgery would not help your dog?

  3. Does your dog have osteoarthritis, immune-mediated polyarthritis, or a tendon or ligament injury?

  4. Does your dog need long-term pain medication?

  5. Do you prefer a more natural and holistic approach to wellness using your dog’s own stem cells?

  6. Did your pet just have surgery and you would like to accelerate their recovery?

What to Expect

  • During a surgical procedure, a small sample is collected and shipped overnight to Vet-Stem for processing and banking.

  • Within 48-hours, the cells are returned to the hospital and injected in large concentrations in the area of injury. Because the cells are taken from your pet’s own tissue, there is almost no risk of rejection.
