A new frontier in veterinary care. Arcata Animal Hospital welcoming pets and families to expert veterinary care in Arcata, CA

What is Regenerative Medicine? Regenerative medicine represents an exciting and advanced field of veterinary care. It involves medical therapies that harness the body’s ability to repair, replace, restore, and regenerate damaged or diseased tissues using the body’s own cells. This approach can significantly improve healing and recovery for various conditions.

Stem Cell Therapy How Does it Work? Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) The specific treatment applied depends on the injury or disease affecting your pet. Regenerative medicine primarily utilizes two types of cellular therapies: Stem cells are collected from your pet’s own adipose (fat) tissue. These cells have the remarkable potential to transform into various cell types that aid in tissue repair. PRP is derived from a donor’s blood and contains concentrated platelets. When activated, these platelets release growth factors that stimulate tissue healing and regeneration.

Is My Pet a Good Candidate? Not every pet is an ideal candidate for regenerative therapy. There are specific guidelines and patient parameters that help determine if your pet is suitable for PRP or stem cell therapy. Our veterinary team will carefully assess your pet’s condition to ensure the best possible outcome.
