What is PRP Treatment?

PRP Treatment stands for platelet-rich plasma therapy. The overall premise of this procedure is to harness high doses of the body's own healing factors and direct them toward the areas that require it. This treatment amplifies the biological signals that would naturally occur when platelets congregate at an injury. Our skilled veterinarians will take a sample of blood from the patient and process it through centrifugation, utilizing a specialized system that concentrates and activates the platelets in the plasma.

Platelets in the blood contain numerous growth factors that can be used to facilitate tissue repair and healing. After processing, the platelet-rich blood can be reinjected into the area of injury, promoting health in problem areas, such as:

  • Arthritic Joints
  • Ligaments
  • Tendons
  • Other Soft Tissue Injuries

Our PRP Injection Process

We aim to deliver focused, safe, and reasonably priced plasma treatment for dogs, which assists a wide range of problems like soft tissue injuries, osteoarthritis, hip dysplasia, spinal complications, and general pain around the injection zone. PRP therapy is a relatively short and easy process, and our skilled veterinarians will work hard to keep your pet relaxed and secure during the procedure.

The process begins by taking a small blood sample, similar to a routine test. We use discreet blood drawing methods for optimal comfort and preciseness. Next, we put the small blood sample into a centrifuge, which is a device that spins at high speeds, separating the solid and liquid parts of the blood. This process increases the platelet-rich density of the blood by up to five times its original ratio. Finally, we collect the platelet-activated blood in a syringe and reinject it back into the injured or inflamed zone of interest.

Plasma Treatment for Dogs FAQs

We know you have questions regarding animal platelet-rich plasma treatment, and we are happy to answer them. Our knowledgeable team is ready to educate you on this process, detailing the procedural steps, the technology we use, and any aftercare tips to optimize your pet's recovery process. Some frequently asked questions regarding PRP injections include:

Will my dog need to be under anesthesia for the treatment?

If your dog is experiencing anxiety during the procedure, we can provide safe sedation services. Anesthesia is generally advisable during the injection process, especially if it's in a sensitive area of the body.

The positive, therapeutic effects of this treatment can last up to a year, where most patients will return for a refresh. However, injections can be repeated as often as every two weeks if needed.

Because PRP treatment is derived from the patient's own blood, there is very little chance of side effects or the body's rejection of the sample. Following treatment, your dog may experience soreness from the injection, but this should subside within a few days. Our veterinarians will discuss any potential risks with you and run examinations to determine whether your pet is a candidate for the procedure.
