Stem Cell Therapy for Dogs & Cats in Arab
Stem cell therapy for dogs and cats is a new treatment that utilizes the body’s own cells to treat certain conditions. Few small animal veterinarians offer this innovative treatment, but at Arab Veterinary Hospital, we’ve invested in the technology and training to be able to bring stem cell therapy to pets of our area encompassing Blountsville, Guntersville, Cullman and beyond. Pet stem cell therapy can give your pet a second chance at a pain-free, fully mobile life. Call us at (256) 586-3183 to learn more.

How It Works
There are no ethical or moral dilemmas involved in stem cell therapy for pets. We use your pet’s own stem cells that are found in high concentration in fat cells. With a procedure requiring general anesthesia, we create an incision and remove some fat cells. Then, we separate the stem cells out, activate them, and inject them into your pet’s problem area. Stem cells are powerful building blocks that can morph into any role they are needed. For instance, when your pet receives stem cells in an area affected by arthritis, the stem cells will likely transform into new cartilage, easing the inflammation caused by bone-to-bone friction.
