Who are Stem Cell Vet?
Stem Cell Vet are the UK’s only stand alone stem cell clinic dedicated to the treatment of joint related conditions in dogs. They specialise in regenerative treatments, particularly stem cell therapy, to improve mobility and alleviate pain in dogs suffering from arthritis, hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, and partial cruciate ligament ruptures. Their primary goal is to enhance the quality of life for their canine patients by addressing the root causes of these ailments.
Stem Cell Vet is owned and directed by Dr Stewart Halperin, the owner of Polden Hills Veterinary Centre.
For dogs suffering from joint-related conditions, the Vets from Stem Cell Vet use a multi-modal approach, including their triple-method regenerative therapy, and which could also include nutritional supplements, dietary change, laser therapy, hydrotherapy, acupuncture, physiotherapy and Librela injections to improve mobility, reduce pain and increase the quality of life of your dog. Using strict protocols, and a comprehensive check for suitability, they only treat dogs that they believe will benefit from treatment.
