A Modern Regenerative Treatment for Pets

At Monte Vista Animal Hospital, we blend personalized care with cutting-edge veterinary medicine. Our regenerative treatment for pets — offered through advanced stem cell therapy — uses your pet’s own cells to naturally reduce inflammation, stimulate healing, and support long-term wellness.

As one of the few practices in Northern Nevada to provide this service, we’re proud to deliver advanced stem cell care for dogs and cats in a calm, compassionate environment that prioritizes comfort, safety, and meaningful outcomes.

What Is Pet Stem Cell Therapy?

Pet stem cell therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses adipose-derived stem cells harvested from your pet’s fat tissue. These powerful cells are processed and injected into painful joints or injured areas, where they go to work reducing inflammation and encouraging tissue repair.

This therapy is most commonly used to provide joint pain relief with stem cells in pets suffering from chronic orthopedic issues or age-related degeneration.

We partner with VetStem, a leader in veterinary stem cell processing and cryopreservation, to ensure every treatment is safe, reliable, and tailored to your pet’s needs.

What Conditions Can Stem Cells Help Treat?

Stem cell therapy is frequently recommended for:

Arthritis stem cell therapy for pets with advanced joint disease
Hip and elbow dysplasia
Cruciate ligament (ACL/CCL) injuries
Tendon and ligament injuries
Post-operative support after orthopedic surgeries
Inflammatory conditions not well-managed with medication

This approach offers a drug-free alternative for managing pain and improving mobility, especially for pets who can’t tolerate NSAIDs or who need additional support beyond traditional treatments.

How Stem Cell Therapy Works

Step 1: Eligibility & Evaluation

Before treatment, we conduct a comprehensive health assessment — complete with physical exams, bloodwork, radiographs, ECG, and abdominal ultrasound — to confirm candidacy and optimize safety.

Step 2: Cell Collection

A small amount of fat is collected surgically from your pet, typically from the abdomen or shoulder region.

Step 3: Cell Processing & Banking

The sample is shipped to VetStem, where the cells are carefully processed, quality-checked, and prepared for injection. Extra cells are banked for future use.

Step 4: Injection & Recovery

Stem cells are then injected directly into affected joints or administered intravenously, depending on your pet’s condition. Many pets begin to show improvement within just a few weeks.

Tailored, Advanced Stem Cell Care for Dogs and Cats

We take a comprehensive, integrative approach to advanced stem cell care for dogs and cats. When appropriate, we enhance outcomes using adjunctive treatments such as:

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
Hyaluronic acid injections
Post-treatment physical support and lifestyle adjustments

From pre-operative diagnostics to post-treatment follow-up, your pet will be cared for by a skilled, experienced team that’s passionate about helping them heal.

Is My Pet a Good Candidate?

We may recommend stem cell therapy if your pet:

Has been diagnosed with arthritis, joint degeneration, or ligament injury
Has not responded well to medications alone
Has mobility issues due to age or chronic pain
Is otherwise healthy and a good surgical candidate

Not sure? We’ll walk you through the process, discuss expectations, and help determine if arthritis stem cell therapy for pets is right for your companion.
