Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
At McClintock Animal Care Center, we're proud to offer advanced, regenerative treatment options like Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy to help your pet heal naturally and feel their best.
What is PRP Therapy?
PRP therapy is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive treatment that uses your pet’s own blood to promote healing. Blood is drawn and processed to concentrate the platelets—components rich in growth factors that play a crucial role in tissue repair. This platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the injured area, stimulating natural healing and reducing inflammation.
How PRP Helps
PRP is commonly used to treat:
Arthritis and joint pain
Tendon and ligament injuries
Post-surgical healing
Soft tissue inflammation
Chronic wounds or non-healing injuries
By enhancing the body’s natural repair processes, PRP can improve mobility, decrease pain, and speed recovery—often with fewer side effects than traditional medications.
What to Expect
PRP therapy is generally well-tolerated by pets and involves:
A simple blood draw from your pet
Processing the blood in a special centrifuge to separate the PRP
Injection of the concentrated PRP directly into the affected area
The procedure is usually performed under light sedation or anesthesia, depending on your pet’s comfort and the treatment area.
Is PRP Right for Your Pet?
If your dog is struggling with joint pain, a soft tissue injury, or slow healing after surgery, PRP may be an excellent option. Our veterinary team will evaluate your pet's condition and discuss whether PRP is a good fit as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
