On Friday 6 May 2011 Pet Universe became South Australia's  1st Regional Stem Cell Processing & Therapy Centre for Medivet - makers of the high yield Medivet Adipose Stem Cell Kits.

Dr.Lee & Head Nurse,Chelsea Forrest-Smith & Deputy Head Nurse, Hayley Gilkes performed stem cell harvesting, processing & therapy on our two canine patients 'Rambo" & 'C.J".

 Above: Dr. Chris Lee with his adorable patient, a 15-YEAR-OLD Pomeranian named after action hero Rambo.Rambo will be the one of the first dogs to undergo revolutionary stem cell treatment in South Australia. 

Stem Cell Therapy is suitable for the treatment of aging and degenerative diseases in large and small animals such as arthritic dogs or cats whose quality of life has decreased due to pain and reduced mobility. 

Dr.Lee says "For the very first time we are now able to perform regenerative stem cell procedures entirely within our own hospital as a one-day procedure using the animal’s own fat-stored adult stem cells, in real time and at a fraction of the cost of previous technologies. And all the team are very proud to be the first Regional Processing & Therapy Centre in South Australia.

Stem cells harvested from the animal’s own fatty tissue are filtered and activated using a patented LED Technology. These activated cells are then administered into the patient to accelerate the healing of damaged ligaments, joints and cartilage arising from an injury, disease or degeneration.
