PRP For Pets

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an advanced, non-surgical method that uses your pet’s platelets and other blood components to optimize and accelerate healing. Platelets are well known for their blood clotting abilities, but they also play an essential role in recruiting other cells in the body to help heal damaged tissues.

At Colorado Springs Veterinary Surgery and Rehab Center, we take a small blood sample from your pet to create a special mixture of platelets, growth factors, and proteins. This mixture is known as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and it is delivered to the injured area via injection to initiate the healing and tissue regeneration process.

Please let us know if your pet suffers from joint pain, ligament damage, wound inflammation/infections, or chronic disease. Our veterinarians will evaluate your pet’s overall health and go over the benefits of PRP therapy. The procedure takes less than an hour, and 80% of patients see marked improvement from a single injection. The therapeutic effects usually last between 6–9 months.

Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cell therapy (usually done in conjunction with PRP) involves taking special cells collected from your dog’s bone marrow to repair, regenerate, and heal damaged areas in the body. Stem cells have the unique ability to differentiate themselves into specialized cells with specific functions, such as muscle cells, bone cells, and brain cells.

No other cells in the body can do what stem cells do, so stem cell therapy is a revolutionary veterinary treatment for treating injured joints, degenerative diseases, and even some cancers. At Colorado Springs Veterinary Surgery and Rehab Center, our experienced veterinarians can perform the entire procedure in a few hours, and the benefits can last up to a year or more in some patients.

We are dedicated to providing the highest level of care and friendly, compassionate service.

Anesthesia-free dentistry, or non-professional dental scaling, can pose serious risks to your pet. Without anesthesia, pets may move suddenly, increasing the chance of injury to their gums or mouth, and even risking bites to the clinician. More importantly, effective dental care requires cleaning beneath the gumline, where disease begins—something that is uncomfortable and unsafe without anesthesia. Proper procedures also protect your pet’s airway and prevent debris from entering the lungs. Cosmetic-only cleanings may look helpful but do not address underlying dental disease.

Fleas and ticks are not just minor nuisances; they can transmit serious and sometimes life-threatening diseases, some of which can be passed to people. Even indoor-only pets are at risk because fleas and ticks can hitch a ride inside on your clothing, shoes, or other pets. Keeping your pet on a monthly preventive is your best bet for protecting your pet—and your family—against these parasites.

If you purchase preventives from sources other than a veterinary hospital or a website affiliated with a veterinary hospital, you don’t have any guarantee that the product is authentic or that it has been stored and shipped properly. When you order from your veterinarian, you’ll have the added benefit of being able to rely on his or her expertise and knowledge of your pet’s medical history.
