Stem Cell Therapy

For dogs and cats.

The Benefits

Ardent Animal Health’s advanced stem cell therapy uses your pet’s own stem cells for treatment. This is called Autologous Therapy– when the stem cells come from your own body’s tissues. There are no ethical or moral concerns with the use of stem cells from one’s own body as these cells are adult and not embryonic. Ardent Animal Health's advancement in technology we are merely utilizing the body’s own regenerative capabilities with our proprietary treatment.

Stem cells are powerful healing cells in your pet’s body that can become other types of cells. There are many adult pets stem cells in fat tissue, however they are asleep. Ardent Animal Health's Stem Cell therapy allows us to isolate stem cells from your animal’s own (autologous) fat tissue, wake them up, and reintroduce them directly into damaged areas. For example, in the case of arthritis, stem cells can become new cartilage cells and have natural anti-inflammatory properties thus reducing pain and increasing mobility.

How It Works

Stem Cell Therapy FAQs:

Is Stem Cell Therapy right for my pet?

In a recent study, 155 canines suffering from moderate to severe osteoarthritis were treated with Ardent Animal Health Stem Cell Therapy. Four independent veterinarians oversaw the study and results. At the end of 90 days, 99% of the canines showed improvement. This research combined with many others, validates the use of stem cell therapy for the treatment of numerous ailments.

What happens to my pet when the(y) come in for stem cell therapy?

First, Dr. Shannon will put your pet under general anesthesia. Then,she will make a small incision and collect 2-4 tablespoons of fat (either in the belly or behind the shoulder blades). Ardent provides on-site training for each clinic that brings on Stem Cell treatments; the process ensures your pet’s cells will be isolated and activated in a proper manner.

The surgical time requiring anesthesia is typically less than 30 minutes. The cells are isolated, activated and re-administered on site so that your animal can go home the same day.

What is the recovery period, and how long does it take to see results?

We recommend that the patient be restricted in their activity during the first 4 weeks. It is likely your pet will be feeling good and want to exert themselves, however we recommend limiting physical activity, so the cells work to repair injuries. Improvements are typically seen within the first two weeks and continue to improve over the next few months. Veterinarians report responses from initial treatments lasting 18-24 months
