Stem cell therapy has revolutionized veterinary medicine, with alternatives to surgery or some medicines.

Basically, stem cells are present within the animal's body (mainly in the fatty tissue or the bone marrow). Because of their unique potential to self-renew and transform into specialized cells, they are involved in healing and regeneration.

The use of stem cells in veterinary medicine is rapidly growing. Significant development has been observed in dealing with pathological conditions like osteoarthritis, which causes pain and lameness in dogs and cats.

Research indicates that stem cell treatment may be used not only for ligament and tendon injuries but also for immuno-mediated diseases and some neurological disorders.

Two main types of stem cells are used in veterinary medicine: embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells or adult stem cells (MSCs or iPSCs), respectively. MSCs are the leading strategy compared to others because of their ease of harvesting and lower ethical concerns.
