Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell therapy for treatment of Osteoarthritis and orthopaedic disease in companion animals is using cutting edge technology, a pet’s own stem cells can be cultured and a tailor made treatment for each individual animal can be created, this is a living therapy that can regenerate healthy tissue.
Here at Glenbrae we use Adi-shot the only VMD authorised lab in the UK so we know the highest standards and quality have been achieved.
Stage 1 bloods and cell harvest
Introducing Stem Cell Therapy We are leading the way to the future with this new initiative treatment for Osteoarthritis and many other conditions, using your pet’s own system to start the process.
Blood sample
Fat Tissue harvest
Your pet will receive a General Anesthetic to allow us to harvest a tea spoon size of fat. As you can see we will shave and surgically prep the area, usually groin/ mammary area.
The Surgery
Surgery is done in a sterile theatre by the vet with a registered vet nurse monitoring the anaesthetic throughout. This should be a short procedure.
The harvest
Stage 2: Growing at the Lab
After the individual stem cells have been separated they are then grown in a controlled environment. Watch how the stem cells grow over just a few days.

Day 2
Starting to multiply
Day 3
Little cells grow fast
Day 4
Amazing
Day 5
Stage 3: Implanting Stem Cells
Back at the clinic
Implanting the Cells
A few weeks later
These radiographs show an area of missing damaged bone and in the 2nd image you can see the stem cells starting to regenerate bone and fill in the area. Over months these cells will continue to multiply smoothing out damaged bone surfaces in the joint helping to minimize or even stop pain in the joint.
