Tissue Engineering

New tissue engineering therapies hold great potential for advancing treatments in the fight against diseases and injuries in both animals and humans. Frey Pet Hospital is pleased to offer this service to help keep pets healthy and happy. Watch the videos and contact us today to schedule your FREE CONSULTATION TODAY.

Tissues with regenerative capabilities in your pet’s body can transform into different cell types. There are millions of these cells in fat tissue, though they are inactive. Partnering with MediVet Biologics allows us to isolate these cells from your pet’s own (autologous) fat tissue, activate them, and reintroduce them into damaged areas. For example, in cases of arthritis, tissue engineering can develop into new cartilage cells and have natural anti-inflammatory properties, reducing pain and improving mobility.

Exciting research shows that tissue engineering may also benefit patients with kidney disease, allergies, and other inflammatory conditions. The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) supports the use of tissue engineering therapies that have been shown to be safe and effective in treating animal diseases.
