National Veterinary Technician Week is an opportunity to recognize the veterinary professionals who help keep clinics running smoothly and patients comfortable, safe, and well cared for. From monitoring patients during procedures to educating pet owners and supporting veterinarians, veterinary technicians bring a unique combination of medical knowledge, technical skill, and compassion to their work. Their contributions often happen behind the scenes, but their impact on patient outcomes is significant.

Veterinary technicians are also essential to carrying out treatment plans and ensuring patients receive the care they need. With VetStem Cell Therapy, their involvement can span multiple stages of care, from assisting with fat collection and preparing for treatment to coordinating logistics and supporting follow-up care. Their organization, attention to detail, and communication help make the process of providing stem cell therapy as seamless as possible for veterinary teams and pet owners.

At VetStem, we understand the value of having knowledgeable, experienced veterinary technicians as partners in patient care. Several members of our own team began their careers as veterinary technicians, giving them firsthand insight into the demands of clinical practice and the challenges veterinary professionals navigate every day. That experience helps us better understand the needs of our veterinary partners so we can provide practical guidance and support throughout the stem cell treatment process.

To all the veterinary technicians who dedicate their time and talents to helping animals live healthier, more comfortable lives, thank you! Your work requires patience, adaptability, and a genuine commitment to the patients who depend on you. During National Veterinary Technician Week, we celebrate the difference you make in veterinary medicine and are grateful for the opportunity to work alongside you!

Veterinary Assistant Appreciation Week is a great excuse to celebrate the people who do a little bit of everything in the clinic. From patient care to clinic support to customer care, vet assistants often wear many hats throughout a typical day in the clinic. The job isn’t easy, but it’s absolutely essential and this is a week to give our thanks to all veterinary assistants.

This week is especially meaningful to us at VetStem because several of our team members started their careers as veterinary assistants, gaining hands-on experience in clinics long before stepping into their current roles. That background shapes how we do what we do every day. It keeps us connected to the realities of clinical life and reminds us how important teamwork, compassion, and attention to detail truly are.

On top of everything else, veterinary assistants often handle the coordination of stem cell shipments for pets! They make sure forms are filled out and submitted correctly and stay in touch with the VetStem team to keep procedures on schedule. We truly couldn’t do what we do without them!

So this week, we just want to say thank you. To every veterinary assistant past and present, including those who helped shape VetStem along the way, we see you and we appreciate everything you bring to the profession.

December 9th was International Day of Veterinary Medicine, an annual reminder of the essential role veterinarians and their teams play in supporting the health and welfare of animals. From routine preventive care to managing complex medical conditions, veterinarians are dedicated to improving the lives of all animals, from pets and livestock to wildlife and working animals. This day highlights the skill, compassion, and commitment that define the veterinary profession.

At VetStem, we are grateful to work alongside veterinarians who continue to expand the use of regenerative medicine in clinical practice. Over the years, our veterinary partners have helped advance the application of stem cell therapy and platelet-rich plasma for a wide range of orthopedic and inflammatory conditions. Their willingness to explore new treatment modalities has contributed to better outcomes and improved comfort for thousands of animal patients.

As we recognize International Day of Veterinary Medicine, we want to extend our appreciation to the many veterinarians who trust VetStem as part of their treatment approach.

Their expertise and empathy extend beyond the exam room, touching the lives of both animals and their owners every single day.

At VetStem, we have the privilege of working closely with veterinary technicians across the country who help make regenerative medicine possible. From assisting with stem cell procedures to processing paperwork and scheduling stem cell treatments, vet techs are instrumental in every step of the process. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence help ensure the success of VetStem Cell Therapy treatments.

Many members of our own VetStem team are former veterinary technicians, bringing their clinical experience and knowledge of animal care to every aspect of what we do. From laboratory processing to customer support and education, the VetStem team leverages this expertise to ensure the highest quality care for every patient and provide veterinarians with the guidance and support they need for successful stem cell treatments

This week, and every week, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to veterinary technicians everywhere. Your passion, skill, and dedication make an incredible difference in the lives of animals and the people who love them.

At VetStem, we are proud to celebrate World Veterinary Day 2025 and this year’s theme, “Animal Health Takes a Team.” As leaders in veterinary regenerative medicine, we know firsthand that improving animal health is not a solo endeavor. It’s a collaborative effort that brings together veterinarians, technicians, assistants, researchers, and even policy-makers—all working together to ensure the best possible outcomes for the animals in our care.

At VetStem, we’ve had the privilege of partnering with veterinary teams across the country—combining their clinical expertise with our cutting-edge regenerative therapies to improve the quality of life for thousands of animals. Whether it’s treating osteoarthritis in a beloved pet or contributing to research that advances veterinary medicine, these collaborative efforts highlight the strength of teamwork, where science and compassionate care come together for the benefit of our animal companions.

It’s important to remember that animal health is directly connected to public health. Healthy animals contribute to healthier communities, and veterinary professionals are on the front lines in preventing the spread of zoonotic diseases to protect both animal and human health. This World Veterinary Day, we celebrate not only the veterinarians but the entire ecosystem of professionals who work together to advance animal care. Your dedication and collaboration make cutting-edge treatments like regenerative medicine possible.

VetStem had the privilege of exhibiting at the 2025 Western Veterinary Conference (WVC) this week, one of the largest and most anticipated events in veterinary medicine. As leaders in regenerative medicine, VetStem showcased its innovative stem cell therapy and off-the-shelf PRP products, which are revolutionizing how veterinarians treat a number of diseases and injuries.

This year, we were excited to announce the news that we entered into an Exclusive License and Supply Agreement with Petvivo Animal Health, Inc. to commercialize our innovative allogeneic orthobiologic products, PrecisePRP™ Canine and PrecisePRP™ Equine. PrecisePRP™ is a groundbreaking, off-the-shelf platelet-rich plasma (PRP) product designed for ease of use by veterinarians. Unlike traditional PRP mechanical kits that require a blood draw and centrifugation, PrecisePRP™ is ready-to-use, offering veterinarians a truly off-the-shelf product that is easy and convenient. More importantly, PrecisePRP™ ensures uniformity and consistency with its unique patent-pending manufacturing process and quality testing.

Additionally, attendees had the opportunity to learn about VetStem’s groundbreaking advancements in stem cell technology, which are helping thousands of pets recover from injuries, arthritis, and other challenging conditions like renal disease, inflammatory bowel disease, gingivostomatitis, back pain/IVDD, and dry eye.

We were thrilled to connect with veterinarians and industry professionals at the event. It was a great opportunity to share how VetStem’s regenerative solutions are improving the health and quality of life for animals everywhere. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and made our time at WVC 2025 such a success. We look forward to continuing to drive advancements in veterinary care and supporting the veterinary community in the years to come!

Earlier this week, the VetStem Sales and Marketing Team exhibited at the annual Fetch Coastal veterinary conference in Atlantic City, NJ. This marks our second time sponsoring this event. Veterinary conferences are a valuable opportunity to connect with our fellow veterinary professionals, share knowledge, and strengthen our industry relationships.

This year, one of VetStem’s experienced small animal users, Dr. Alistair Chapnick of Spot On Veterinary Hospital, delivered two talks at the conference. His first lecture explored the expanding role of stem cell therapy in veterinary medicine. While many are familiar with its use in orthopedics for conditions like osteoarthritis and tendon injuries, recent advancements have highlighted its potential in treating more complex diseases, including kidney failure, inflammatory bowel disease, and gingivostomatitis. Numerous patients have experienced significant benefits from VetStem Cell Therapy for these challenging conditions.

In his second lecture, Dr. Chapnick focused on the diverse applications of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in veterinary medicine. As a cell-based therapy, PRP has shown remarkable success in promoting healing in areas such as orthopedics, wound care, and corneal ulcers. Dr. Chapnick reviewed current literature, presented case studies, and assessed the safety and effectiveness of PRP. He also introduced VetStem’s latest innovation, PrecisePRP™, an off-the-shelf freeze-dried PRP solution. In last week’s blog, we covered some outcome data for PrecisePRP Canine. You can check it out here.

If you missed us in Atlantic City, be sure to catch us at Fetch Long Beach in December or Western Veterinary Conference in March 2025!

Beyond their technical skills, veterinary assistants often serve as a reassuring presence for both animals and their people, offering empathy and support during challenging times.
