Banking Stem Cells can provide treatment options including:

  • Current uses of stem cells include arthritis, and soft tissue injuries (tendon and ligament).
  • Future uses of stem cells may include treatment of kidney, inflammatory bowel disease, gingivostomatitis, and immune mediated diseases.

One fat collection can provide a lifetime of stem cell therapy by utilizing stored doses and/or cell culturing. Culturing of stem cells and processing of stored doses will incur costs. Consult your veterinarian for estimates of potential future costs for treatment.
