Harnessing the Healing Power of Your Pet’s Own Blood
At Ross Animal Hospital and Rehabilitation Center, we offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, a state-of-the-art regenerative treatment that supports faster healing and reduces inflammation—naturally.
What Is PRP Therapy?
PRP therapy involves using a small sample of your pet’s own blood, which is then processed to concentrate the platelets. Platelets are rich in growth factors—biological proteins that stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and accelerate the healing process. Once the platelet-rich plasma is prepared, it is injected directly into the affected area, such as joints, ligaments, muscles, or surgical sites.
Because PRP uses your pet’s own blood, the treatment is safe, minimally invasive, and drug-free.
What Conditions Can PRP Help Treat?
PRP therapy is highly effective for pets suffering from:
Arthritis and joint inflammation
Muscle and tendon injuries
Ligament strains or sprains
Hip and elbow dysplasia
Post-surgical recovery (especially after orthopedic procedures)
Chronic lameness or stiffness
It can be used on its own or in combination with other therapies such as stem cell therapy or rehabilitation exercises to enhance healing and improve long-term outcomes.
Key Benefits of PRP Therapy
✔️ Promotes natural tissue regeneration
✔️ Reduces pain and swelling
✔️ Speeds up recovery after injury or surgery
✔️ Minimally invasive with little downtime
✔️ Drug-free and biocompatible
Many pet owners see noticeable improvement in mobility, energy levels, and comfort within a few weeks of treatment.

Is PRP Right for Your Pet?
PRP therapy is an excellent choice for:
Active pets with joint or soft tissue injuries
Senior pets with arthritis or mobility issues
