Can you afford Stem Cell Therapy for Your Pet?

Blog post written for an international veterinary stem cell therapy company

Most pet owners have, at one time or another, fallen victim to sticker shock at the veterinarian’s office. That x-ray that they needed to take to check out the limp in Mr. Whisker’s left front leg? Hundreds. What about a bad hip? According to the Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine, a total hip replacement for a dog with hip dysplasia can cost anywhere from $4200 - $4400.

When people ask about the cost of a surgery or other medical treatment, they are usually asking for the exact price of the procedure. However, there are other costs to keep in mind. Will you need to take time off work or hire someone to watch your dog after his surgery? Post-operative care is critical for most surgeries and can be time-consuming. Then there are the risks of infection and other complications that may require further care.

When discussing costs with your veterinarian, make sure you ask about alternative options. MediVet’s adipose stem cell therapy is actually a fraction of the price of many common surgeries that are used to treat animals with arthritis, hip dysplasia, and other joint problems. Because MediVet is the only company in the world to provide veterinarians with kits that allow them to do the procedure in-house, it costs a fraction of the price of using stem cell therapies that require the sample to be sent out.

Because MediVet’s procedure is much less invasive and requires virtually no recovery time, you don’t have to worry about your work schedule and your wallet taking a hit. Want to learn more about MediVet? http://medivetcanada.com/research-adipose.html
