Does your pet have HEALTH INSURANCE? 
We recommend looking into a policy from one of the many available companies. Pet insurance can literally be a lifesaver in a surgical or medical emergency and will greatly reduce the stress and burden on your family during this time.
This is a good ARTICLE from the American Animal Hospital Association that lists several companies and does a side-by-side comparison.
Another resource for pet insurance is united pet care. Often offered through your work but also available for the individual. We accept United Pet Care and have seen a lot of happy pets and clients with this company.

Wondering if a medical therapy or product found on the internet is legitimate? Well, just take a look through Quack watch for the latest information health scams.
Quackwatch is now an international network of people who are concerned about health-related frauds, myths, fads, fallacies, and misconduct. Its primary focus is on quackery-related information that is difficult or impossible to get elsewhere. Founded by Dr. Stephen Barrett in 1969 as the Lehigh Valley Committee Against Health Fraud (Allentown, Pennsylvania), it was incorporated in 1970. In 1997, it assumed its current name and began developing a worldwide network of volunteers and expert advisors.
Stem Cell Therapy
What is Vet-Stem Regenerative Medicine?
Regenerative medicine uses a concentrated form of autologous adipose-derived adult stem cells to treat traumatic and degenerative diseases, including bowed tendons, ligament injuries, osteoarthritis, and osteochondral defects in dogs.
Vet-Stem provides a quick-turnaround laboratory service that enables veterinarians to utilize Vet-Stem Regenerative Cells (VSRCs) in animals. We accomplish this within 48 hours after collection of a fat sample.
Day One:
The veterinarian collects a small fat sample (about two tablespoons) from the patient. The sample is shipped priority overnight to the Vet-Stem laboratory in San Diego, California.
Day Two:
Vet-Stem processes the fat sample, concentrates the the patient’s own stem cells. The cells are shipped priority overnight, back to the veterinarian, in ready-to-inject syringes.
Day Three:
The veterinarian injects the stem cells directly into the injured site.
APPLICATIONS:
Canine orthopedic application:
Osteoarthritis: hips, stifles (knees), elbows …
Orthopedic soft tissue: tendon and ligament injuries
Internal medicine applications: Besides the overwhelming scientific data demonstrating the clinical efficacy of regenerative cellular therapy in animal models of osteoarthritis,7 osteochondral defects,8 tendon repair,5,9 and fractures,10-12 many additional studies demonstrate success in treating systemic disorders such as cerebral and myocardial infarction,13,14 muscular dystrophy,15 and immune-mediated disorders.19-21 Based on these studies, Vet-Stem is developing protocols to treat internal medicine conditions.
