This is a great story for pet owners who wish to heal their dog’s arthriitis and painful bone diseases. I found this article on
Time Magazine that your readers may be interested in reading: http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1817572,00.html

Thanks for the great information -I am looking into this for my dog’s hip dysplasia.

Our 12 year old yellow lab has osteo-arthritis in both shoulder and one hip, 2.5 months ago he had VetStem and had exhibited amazing results. This was the single best decision we could have made for Noah.

Teri thank you so much for posting this wonderful story. Susan, I was almost in tears when you said Rainier was no longer able to take his walks. It seems like this stem cell work will be a miracle, not only for Rainier but so many other dogs as well.
I wish you and Rainier the best.

Terri,

I wanted to give you an update on Dasha. She climbed the stairs with ease two weeks ago as Dr. Bloom watched her from the bottom of the stairs.

Great story Teri! To Susan and Jeff: I know how you feel about Rainier and it is wonderful that you did everything possible to give him back his life regardless of the cost involved. Two years ago, my husband and I had to put down a three year old yellow lab who was born with a liver shunt and although we spent a fortune trying to save his life, there was no way to control the severe seizures he was getting. It was devastating to say the least and I still miss him but I know that we did our best to save his life.
We now have a Brittany who turned two on June 1st. and he is a trip! A hunter by nature who already brought us 6 squirrels, a rabbit and several birds and we adore him.
Thank you Susan and Jeff for sharing your story and to Teri for publishing this great information that will benefit our best friends for years to come.

Teri,
What a wonderful story. Thank you to Susan and Jeff for having the love and courage to do this for your puppy. I hope one day the medical community will see the value of this kind of treatment for humans.
