Stem cell therapy is a regenerative medicine technique that uses a pet’s own healing cells to treat a variety of conditions
Joint and bone injuries: Stem cells can help with tendon, ligament, and bone injuries.
Osteoarthritis: Stem cells can help reduce pain and inflammation, and promote cartilage and tissue regeneration.
Chronic diseases: Stem cells can help with chronic skin issues, inflammatory bowel syndrome, allergies, and immune mediated disease.
Autoimmune disorders: Stem cells can help treat certain autoimmune disorders.
Spinal cord injuries: Stem cells may be a practical treatment option for spinal cord injuries. 
What is Stem Cell Therapy for Pets do?
What are stem cells?
In all animals, stem cells are like blank slates. They start out without any clear identity, but can divide and grow into many different types of cells, like muscle or blood cells.
What is stem cell therapy?
Stem cells are being used to treat illness and heal injuries in pets. They are injected into the body to repair muscles, joints, and ligaments that have been damaged by arthritis or injury. Some cancers are treated with stem cells taken from the pet’s own bone marrow. And research is underway to test stem cells for diabetes treatment, and to treat animals that have lost control of their bladders.
Does stem cell therapy for pets work the same as in humans?
Yes. The basic idea is the same, but because there are fewer regulations for treating animals, stem cell therapy is used more often in pets than in humans.
How long have veterinarians been using this type of treatment?
Vets have been testing stem cell therapy in animals for about 10 years, but serious work has amped up in the past 4 or 5 years.
Does it work?
Right now, there are no big studies to show that stem cell therapy works in pets. All we have is anecdotal evidence, or stories from pet owners and veterinarians. Studies are underway to give us better insight into how effective stem cell therapy is in pets.
