A bit of behind the scenes for a PRP injection on the right stifle [knee] of an 8 year old female boxer with a partial cranial cruciate ligament tear. She received 2 rounds of PRP and is doing so well after finishing up. PRP is a way to use their own bodies to help promote faster healing. We love doing the injects and have done elbows, stifles, shoulder, hip and carpus with really good success. Call us to schedule a consult to see if PRP is right for your kiddo.

Lets talk about PRP [Platelet Rich Plasma], Here are some of the the benefits and details about the procedure. Every pet is different but helping reduce pain, prevent further joint damage and instability is always a good thing.
Pain Relief:
PRP injections can help reduce pain associated with osteoarthritis and other joint issues by decreasing inflammation and promoting tissue repair.

Accelerated Healing:
PRP contains growth factors that stimulate the body's natural healing processes, potentially speeding up recovery from injuries like ligament or tendon tears.

Reduced Inflammation:
The growth factors in PRP can help modulate the inflammatory response, which is often a major contributor to pain and discomfort in conditions like osteoarthritis.

Tissue Regeneration:
PRP can promote the regeneration of damaged cartilage, tendons, and ligaments, potentially improving joint function and mobility.

Improved Joint Function:
By reducing pain and promoting tissue repair, PRP injections can lead to improved range of motion and overall limb function in dogs with joint problems.

Safe and Minimally Invasive:
PRP therapy uses the dog's own blood, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions or infections. The procedure is minimally invasive, with injections typically administered directly into the affected area.

Conditions PRP Can Help With:
Osteoarthritis:
PRP injections can be a valuable tool for managing the pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis.
Tendon and Ligament Injuries:
PRP can help accelerate healing and reduce pain in dogs with sprains, strains, or partial tears of tendons and ligaments.
Wound Healing:
PRP can promote faster healing of wounds, especially those that are slow to heal or prone to infection.
Fractures:
PRP can be used to stimulate bone healing after fractures, potentially reducing healing time.
Other Conditions:
PRP may also be beneficial for managing conditions like elbow and hip dysplasia, spinal problems, and corneal ulcers.

Important Considerations:

Multiple Injections:
PRP therapy often requires multiple injections, spaced a few weeks apart, for optimal results.

Individual Variation:
The effectiveness of PRP can vary depending on the individual dog, the specific condition being treated, and the quality of the PRP preparation.

Consultation with Veterinarian:
It's crucial to consult with a veterinarian to determine if PRP therapy is an appropriate treatment option for your dog's specific situation and to discuss potential risks and benefits.

🐾 Did you know that over 40% of pets in the UK and a whopping 60% in the U.S. are considered obese?
Obesity isn’t just a cosmetic issue — it can seriously affect your pet’s health.
🔹 Fat = inflammation
🔹 Extra weight = less lung capacity (yep, fat builds up inside too!)
🔹 Muscle loss = weakness and pain
Common causes?
🧀 Overeating
🚫 Under-exercising
🧬 Hormonal issues (like hypothyroid or Cushing’s)
📆 Age-related metabolic shifts
🐕 Social facilitation (the theory where some dogs eat more when another dog is present!)
We focus on losing fat, not muscle.
That means:
🥩 High protein
🌾 High fiber
Low fat
💦 And yes—hydrotherapy helps! Studies show hydrotherapy helps dogs release feel-good endorphins. Many can’t wait to come back for more.
💬 If you’re concerned about your dog’s weight, we’re here to help with customized exercise, nutrition, and rehab plans that make a difference.
📍Let’s work together to help your pet move better, feel better, live longer.

Call us today and see how hydrotherapy can help your pet achieve a healthy weight
