“A tired dog is a good dog—and I think the same is true for people.” —Dr. Beth Barrett

Is your dog slowing down on walks? Is your cat hesitating to jump? Maybe your horse just isn’t moving like they used to.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a natural, science-backed treatment that helps reduce pain and support healing—using your animal’s own blood.

It’s safe, minimally invasive, and already helping pets move more comfortably and stay active doing what they love.
