If your dog is suffering from arthritis and meds aren’t doing the trick. There are several alternative methods to ease the pain and keep your dog moving. One method that worked great with one of my dogs was acupuncture. Today stem cells can be used as treatment as well. For about $2,500 (a wee bit more than acupuncture treatments) your vet can extract fat tissue from your dog and send it to a special facility near San Diego. They process it and send it back for your vet to inject into your dog. They make no promises but many dogs who have tried the treatment are responding well.
