Platelet-Rich Plasma
What is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a regenerative therapy created from a pet’s own blood.
A small blood sample is collected, processed in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets and growth factors, and then injected into injured or diseased tissue to stimulate healing, reduce inflammation, and improve tissue repair.
Because PRP uses the patient’s own cells, it is considered safe, natural, and minimally invasive in veterinary medicine.
How PRP Works
Platelets contain powerful growth factors and cytokines that:
-
Stimulate tissue regeneration
-
Promote collagen and cartilage repair
-
Improve blood supply to damaged tissue
-
Reduce pain and inflammation
-
Accelerate healing of soft tissue and bone

Pain Reduction
Helps decrease inflammation and improve mobility in orthopedic diseases.
