Fortunately, there is a relatively new treatment technique that uses platelet-rich plasma from your pet’s own blood that may accelerate healing and help relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis.

The symptoms of osteoarthritis – pain and stiffness in the joints – are typically treated with painkillers or with a weight loss plan and exercise. However, new research shows that canine platelet enhancement therapy (C-PET) can reduce joint pain.

Osteoarthritis is a painful condition with no cure. However, canine platelet enhancement may be used to ease the pain associated with osteoarthritis and slow the progression of the disease.
