Dr Dan Evers, a veterinarian in Deland, Florida treated LW Crump, a small very unhappy paraplegic dog, with Stem Cell Therapy. Unable to use his rear legs, LW walked using only the front two, holding his rear legs up in the air. Two weeks after his stem cell treatment, L W. Crump was walking and using all four legs for the first time in a long time. He is now a very happy dog as are his owners!

Stem cells are the body’s repair cells. They have the ability to divide and differentiate into many different types of cells based on where they are needed throughout the body. Stem cells can divide and turn into tissues such as skin, fat, muscle, bone, cartilage, and nerve to name a few. With this capability, we can use them as a treatment for joint injuries, ligament and tendon damage, and fractured bones. Using MediVet America’s Stem Cell Therapy, we have seen positive clinical improvement in 95% of the arthritic cases performed nationwide. Some owners have even reported seeing a difference in as little as a week!

Kingsbury Animal Hospital in St. Louis performs it’s first stem cell procedure on Duffy, a 10 year old Lab who suffers from arthritis.
When it comes to improving the lives of the animals he treats, veterinarian Brian Voynick isn’t afraid to try something new. He’s been doing acupuncture on dogs for some 15 years. So when Voynick first heard about stem cell therapy for small animals like cats and dogs four years ago at a conference on holistic veterinary medicine, he was intrigued. A year later, he become the first and only veterinarian in the region to use stem cells derived from an animal’s fat to treat pain and inflammation from ailments like arthritis and hip dysplasia. Now he’s taking the therapy to the next level, processing and activating the derived stem cells on site at his clinic, the American Animal Hospital in Randolph. The procedure uses adult stem cells from the patient, not embryonic stem cells, which are far more controversial. (Video by Nyier Abdou/The Star-Ledger)

PHILADELPHIA – Stem cell research is a topic that just won’t go a way and for good reason, depending on who your talk to.
Now, some local veterinarians are reportedly using stem cell therapy to treat arthritic dogs, and doing so is turning into a rather profitable business, according to the editor of the Philadelphia Business Journal, Bernie Dagenais.
The procedure involves veterinarians taking fat tissue from an animal — usually disabled dogs — and sending it to a California-based company called Vet-Stem. In a laboratory, the company extracts cells and sends them back in a syringe. That shot is then given to the animal in the area where it has arthritis.
The cutting-edge procedure typically costs $2,500 to $3,500, but the results are said to be dramatic, especially for dogs with arthritis, Dagenais said.
About 1,500 dogs in the country have received this, and a few local centers are doing them. They must be specially certified by Vet-Stem to do the procedure.
“These are the types of procedures that a lot of people will not normally do on a pet. But if you want to go the extra distance, this is a new option that is available and it’s making a big difference,” Dagenais said.
We know all about the controversy surrounding stem cell research and humans. Is the company or local vets doing this kind of therapy, receiving any flack for their actions?
“People get it confused, but this is very different because you’re extracting something from the adult animals themselves. This has nothing to do with the stem-cell controversy that we hear about. … It’s really not dealing with embryos,” Dagenais said.
As people find out about this option, he expects it to be used more often, and the bigger question is whether this will some day be happening for humans, as well.
