In 2007 we posted several articles on the benefits of stem cell research from a company called Vet Stem Regenerative Veterinary Medicine.

We would like to revisit vet stem to see what has transpired in the past years to help dogs overcome diseases and untimely deaths. More than 3,000 horses have received stem cell treatments

Vet Stem Cell Treatments for Dogs-Less Expensive than Surgery

The procedure involves taking some 2 tablespoons of fat tissue from the back of the dogs neck area and it is sent to Vet Stem in California who are the global leaders in veterinary stem cell research. Vet stem has literally performed stem cell transplantation in over 1,000 dogs with great success.

Upon receiving the fat tissue samples vet stem extracts and separates the Adult Stem Cells from the fat tissue. The very same day the stem cells are sent back to a participating veterinarian who then injects the millions of stem cells back into your dog’s bones and joints.  The results can be seen in weeks instead of months later as in surgical procedures.

Use Your Dogs Own Adult Stem Cells to Heal Diseases

If veterinarians “get this” why don’t doctors and government get this? The success stories are here, the trials have been studied -the results are very clearly positively and confirmed to show positive repaired diseases in dogs, and horses. It it works for animals and for humans also. Apparently your dog is getting better medical care than you are at this time.

Cats are healing also and trials are being conducted to heal feline kidney diseases and the Vet Stem Cell Company are on the forefront and are leaders who will only grown by leaps and bounds in the future -healing our pets and animals with this simple procedure.

The cost is far less than surgical intervention and the benefits of stem cell treatments over surgery are many and include:

No cutting of tissue, bones or or surgical errors.
No costs for general anethstetic or pain drugs -before during and after the procedure.
No waiting time to heal from surgery.
No apparatus to help mobility during healing is necessary.
No cost for anethstetic healing time is weeks instead of months.
Cost wise -stem cell treatments are far less than surgical intervention.

A few years ago the Vice President of the Muscular Dystrophy Association commented on the work underway by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh.  The use of stem cell treatments to relieve symptoms of muscular dystrophy in dogs holds promise in defeating the disease in children.  Muscular dystrophy is a muscle wasting disease that occurs in one of every 3,500 male births.

There is also promising results for dogs treated for melanoma by genetically engineering stem cells from bone marrow to destroy cancer proteins as studies held in Britain.  The adult stem cells known as mesenchymal stem cells can attack cancer cells while leaving health cells to thrive.  These studies have been in progress since 2006 and again are showing positive results.

For people and their pets adult stem cell research should be funded and put on the fast track to help relieve pain and suffering and save lives now -rather than later.

Healing a Dog’s  Hip Dysplasia with Stem Cell Treatments

President Obama approves stem cell research for people that has proven at least for dogs to cure arthritis and bone disease with companies such as Vet Stem. Now we can see some progress incuring people diseases.

The new arrival of Vet Regenerative Medicine is here and the use of stem cells in animals such as Dogs, Horses and Cats is becoming a safe and successful procedure for arthritis in pets.

Unlike the embryo cells used in human stem cell research, this procedure uses fat cells that are harvested and re injected into the hip or affected area. The cells then regrow or regenerate health cells and within 30 days there is marked improvement in function and healing with the cell transplants.

A company in San Diego called Vet Stem is the leader in Regenerative medicine using harvested stem cells from the fat cells in an animal which is then implanted into the hip or joint areas and the treatment has a high success rate.

The cells used from one’s body and using your own cells is far superior and heal more quickly without the problems of rejection from foreign cells such as in organ transplants.

Stem cells by nature can take on the traits of many kinds of cells and then reproduce healthy cells all by themselves. Vet Stem indicates that since these cells are obtained from the dog’s own tissue it is considered a transplant.

Dogs suffering with Severe arthritis, hip dysphasia, osteoarthritis can be a thing of the past. Hip replacements cost $ 10,000.00 usually and a stem cell transplant would be far less at around $ 2,500.00 and far healthier for a pet. Animal stem cell research is far ahead of stem cell therapy in humans and is not experimental any more it is being used widely.

Even if a dog has had a bone problem since birth or a crooked paw they can experience a pain free life in a matter of months. The restrictions in human stem cell research due to the controversy has halted progress but stem cell transplants, remains unrestricted in animals. There are no side effects, because you using the bodies own cells re-injecting in the hips than the body’s immune system could replicate quick enough to affect rejuvenation.

There are over 200 veterinarians who can perform the procedure of stem cell fat transplants.

Approximately 30 grams which is 2 tablespoons of fat, is extracted from the shoulder area or anywhere in the body, sent to the Vet Stem company and is chopped up, treated and the stem cells are separated. The stem cells are sent back to the vet and re introduced by injection and that is all that is needed.

The CEO of Vet Stem Mr. Robert Harmon states that they have successfully treated 3,000 horses and 2,000 dogs with an 80 percent marked improvement success rate.

A race horse by the name of “ Be A Bono” was losing ground and suffering from bone chips which would have ended its career and life. After stem cell treatment Be a Bono went on to win 1.3 million dollars at the race track.

People stated to ask about whether it would work for their dogs and a Newfoundland dog named Magic was bounding around a month after stem cell treatments with significant improvement.

The future holds promise for damaged hearts, liver and kidney in humans with more stem cell research.

Utilizing healthy stem cells injected into damaged organs can rejuvenate and heal the affected organ. It can be used for human strokes, heart attacks and spinal cord injury usually within hours of the injury. This will replace harsh surgical procedures by using the bodies own ability to heal itself

the cells we have in our own bodies are far more superior to healing than any man made contraption or surgical procedure.

Dogs regain range of motion, are more energetic and start jumping again as if they were young puppies. Doctors are testing adult cell therapy for heart disease and leukemia but progress has been slowed by controversy and restrictions.
