At Animal Hospital of Lake Villa, we’re always on the lookout for cutting-edge solutions to help our patients live healthier, happier lives. One exciting new option we’re proud to share with you is Gallant Stem Cell Banking. This revolutionary service offers a way to store your pet’s stem cells, which can be used in the future to treat a variety of medical conditions.

What is Gallant Stem Cell Banking?

Stem cells are powerful cells found in your pet’s body that have the unique ability to transform into many different types of cells. This means they can help repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and promote healing in ways that traditional treatments may not. Gallant makes it easy to collect and store these stem cells during routine procedures like spay and neuter surgeries.

How Does It Work?

The process is simple. When your pet undergoes a routine surgery, like a spay or neuter, we can collect stem cells from their fat tissue. These cells are then sent to Gallant’s state-of-the-art facility, where they are carefully processed and stored in a secure cryogenic bank. Should your pet develop a condition later in life that stem cells can help treat—such as arthritis, hip dysplasia, or even certain skin conditions—the cells can be retrieved and used for therapy.

Why Bank Your Pet’s Stem Cells?

Stem cell therapy is already being used to treat a range of conditions in pets, including:

  • Arthritis: Stem cells help regenerate cartilage, reducing pain and improving mobility.
  • Ligament Injuries: Accelerate healing and reduce recovery time.
  • Hip Dysplasia: Alleviate discomfort and slow disease progression.
  • Skin Conditions: Support the healing of wounds or chronic skin issues.

The best part? Gallant’s process means you can bank your pet’s cells when they’re young and healthy, maximizing the potential for successful future treatments. Stem cell therapy offers a natural, regenerative option that doesn’t involve invasive surgeries or pharmaceuticals.

Why Choose Gallant?

Gallant is a trusted leader in veterinary stem cell banking, offering exceptional care at every step. Here are a few reasons why we recommend Gallant:

  • Ease of Use: Gallant makes the collection process seamless during routine surgeries.
  • Long-Term Security: Your pet’s stem cells are safely stored in cryogenic conditions, ready to use when needed.
