Owners
Are you wondering if stem cells therapy is right for your pet?
Pet owners should discuss appropriateness of treatment for their pet including potential complications of surgery, potential outcomes, a comprehensive treatment plan and associated costs with their veterinarian prior to treatment. A checklist of points to consider can be found here to take to your veterinarian.
Feedback from veterinarians and dog owners who responded to voluntary surveys indicated that more than 75% of these dogs with arthritis have an improved quality of life after Vet-Stem Regenerative Cell therapy.

We understand that you may want to contact Vet-Stem about treatment for your pet and about the cost of the procedure; however your veterinarian is most knowledgeable about your pet’s specific conditions. Depending on those conditions the cost for the therapy will vary, so your veterinarian is the only one who can give you an estimate. Vet-Stem can not tell you how much any part of the procedure costs. A Vet-Stem veterinarian is available to answer any questions from your veterinarian.

Studies and Rehabilitation Information

Click Here to read the First Peer Reviewed Double-Blinded Multicenter Study for Canine Osteoarthritis of the Hip Joint.
Since 2005, veterinarians have treated dogs with osteoarthritis and orthopedic soft tissue injuries. Initial studies demonstrate that intra-articular administration of VSRCs significantly decreases pain and improves comfort in the majority of cases.6 Duration of the benefit from a single injection varies from several months to more than one year.6
Vet-Stem has consulted rehab experts for recommendations on post stem cell rehabilitation. Since injuries and performance demands vary greatly, a personalized rehabilitation program is recommended. A conservative program that includes periodic evaluation by a veterinarian, optimal nutrition, and gradual return to regular activity is generally suggested.
