Regenerative Medicine & Stem Cell Therapy

At Lenity Vet Specialists + Emergency Care, we offer advanced stem cell therapy, a form of regenerative medicine that helps pets heal more naturally. Stem cells have the unique ability to repair damaged tissues that may otherwise struggle to regenerate on their own. By using your pet’s own stem cells, we provide a safe, personalized approach to support recovery from a variety of conditions.

How Stem Cell Therapy Works

When your pet is a good candidate for stem cell therapy, we start by collecting fat cells from a small area of the body. 

In our lab, the stem cells are then carefully extracted and concentrated for treatment. The prepared cells are then injected into the affected area—whether a joint, tendon, muscle, or site of inflammation—to encourage healing and reduce pain. Some steps may require general anesthesia, and our team will ensure your pet is healthy and safe for the procedure.

Stem cell therapy can help pets with:

• Osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease
• Soft tissue injuries, including muscle and tendon repair
• Bone healing after fractures or surgical interventions
• Inflammatory conditions, such as immune-mediated polyarthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, or chronic kidney disease

In select compassionate use cases, stem cells may be considered for pets with terminal or end-stage conditions, such as spine trauma or kidney failure, to potentially improve quality of life.
