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.

Talk, touch, and eye contact are all forms of rewards to your dog. Add them to behaviors you want to increase and remove them from behaviors you want to discourage.
