Vet Stem Cells Save Dogs From Arthritis

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.
