Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy for Dogs and Cats
Supporting natural healing and reducing joint pain
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses your pet’s own blood to support healing in joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Platelets contain growth factors that help repair tissues and reduce inflammation, making PRP a useful tool for pets with arthritis, joint injuries, or mobility problems.
How Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) works
A small blood sample is taken from your pet and processed in our on-site laboratory to concentrate the platelets.
The PRP is then carefully injected into the affected joint, tendon, or ligament.
The procedure is performed under a short, light anaesthetic to keep your pet safe and comfortable.
What to expect
The session usually takes 30–40 minutes.
Many pets show initial improvements within a week, with more noticeable benefits appearing over the first month.
Side effects are very uncommon, but our team will discuss any risks with you beforehand.
