MediVet America began research and development in 2007 with
commercialization of its in-clinic adipose derived stem cell
therapy in 2010. MediVet founded a process which eliminated
the delay and expenses related to transit from an outside lab. The
process allows a Veterinarian to harvest a small sample of fat
tissue, process it down, activate and inject the cells same day, in a
clinic setting. MediVet America manufactures its own equipment
to the specifications of the procedure and stores its customer’s
animal stem cell cells on site to ensure quality for future
injections. To date treated over 10,000 animals with adipose
derived stem cells including canines, feline and equine patients.
