Stem Cell Therapy For Pets
At Arthur Lodge Vets in West Sussex, we offer advanced stem cell therapy for dogs and stem cell therapy for cats as part of our comprehensive orthopaedic services.
This innovative treatment helps pets recover from joint, ligament, and tendon injuries, reducing pain, improving mobility, and enhancing overall quality of life.
What is Stem Cell Therapy?
Stem cell therapy for pets is a cutting-edge treatment that uses your pet’s own regenerative cells to repair damaged tissues.
By harnessing the natural healing abilities of stem cells, we target areas of injury or degeneration, promoting healing and reducing inflammation.
What Are Stem Cells?
Stem cells are special cells found in bone marrow and fat tissue that can develop into bone, cartilage, or muscle cells.
They play a crucial role in tissue repair and regeneration, making them ideal for treating orthopaedic conditions in dogs and cats.
Conditions Treated With Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell therapy for dogs and stem cell therapy for cats is particularly effective for:
- Osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease
- Ligament and tendon injuries (e.g., cruciate ligament tears)
- Hip or elbow dysplasia
- Chronic inflammation and joint pain
- Certain post-surgical orthopaedic recovery cases
Our vets will assess your pet’s suitability for treatment based on their condition and medical history.
Our Stem Cell Treatments
At Arthur Lodge Vets, our stem cell therapy for dogs and cats involves:
- Harvesting stem cells: Collected from your pet’s fat or bone marrow under anaesthesia.
- Processing: Cells are purified and prepared for treatment.
- Injection into target areas: Stem cells are injected into the affected joints, ligaments, or tendons to promote healing.
Each treatment plan is personalised to ensure the best results for your pet.
How Much Does Stem Cell Therapy Cost?
The cost of stem cell therapy depends on the number of areas being treated and the complexity of the condition.
A consultation with our vets will provide a detailed quote and recommended plan.
Is Stem Cell Therapy Painful?
Most pets experience minimal discomfort. Collection is performed under anaesthesia, and injections are carefully administered.
Many pets show improved mobility and reduced pain shortly after treatment.
How Quickly Does Stem Cell Therapy Work?
Results vary depending on the severity of the condition and the individual pet. Many owners notice improvements in mobility, pain reduction, and activity levels within 4–12 weeks after treatment.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Stem cell therapy is generally very safe, particularly when using your pet’s own cells. Side effects are rare but may include temporary swelling or mild discomfort at the injection site.
Our veterinary team monitors your pet closely during recovery.
