Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy for Pets
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections are an advanced regenerative medicine option designed to help reduce pain and support healing in pets with joint disease or injury. This innovative therapy uses your pet’s own biology to stimulate the body’s natural repair processes.
What Is PRP Therapy?
PRP therapy begins with a blood sample drawn from your pet. That sample is processed to concentrate platelets, creating platelet-rich plasma. These platelets contain powerful growth factors that play a key role in tissue repair and regeneration.
Once prepared, the PRP is injected directly into the affected joint, targeting the source of pain and inflammation.
How PRP Helps
After injection, PRP works by:
-
Releasing growth factors that stimulate healing
-
Activating local stem cells
-
Increasing blood flow to the injured area
-
Supporting tissue repair while reducing inflammation and discomfort
Because PRP is derived from your pet’s own blood, the risk of adverse reactions is extremely low.
How Long Does PRP Last?
Many pets experience relief for 6 months or longer after a single injection.
In more severe or advanced cases, 2–3 initial injections may be recommended to achieve the best results.
Conditions That May Benefit from PRP
PRP therapy may be helpful for pets experiencing:
-
Osteoarthritis
-
Joint pain or stiffness
-
Ligament or tendon injuries
-
Degenerative joint conditions
Your veterinarian will determine if PRP is an appropriate option based on your pet’s condition and overall health.
