Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

Harnessing your pet’s own healing power for faster recovery.

Platelet-Rich Plasma, or PRP, is blood plasma that contains concentrated amounts of platelets and growth factors. PRP is a non-surgical and advanced means of providing high doses of the body’s own healing factors directly to the area where they are needed.

Platelet Rich Plasma is a trending topic in human sports orthopedic medicine. Used for sports injuries as many wear and tear issues. Ardent’s Platelet Rich Plasma Kit, or PRP, is a breakthrough product for pets utilizing blood plasma with concentrated platelets that once activated accelerate the healing properties of the isolated growth factors at a fraction of the cost of traditional human treatments.

Platelets that are found in whole blood contain many healing growth factors and bioactive proteins. These bioactive proteins can initiate tissue healing, and assist with inflammation. The treatment offers an affordable all-natural alternative to drugs and steroids.

Ardent’s PRP Kit can be introduced topically in or around an injured joint or tendon, or used in gel form to treat large burns or wounds. Ardent’s PRP is not limited to acute injuries — it can also support healing in chronic conditions, including:
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Tenosynovitis
  • Wound care
  • General inflammation
  • Post-surgical healing
It can also be used as a powerful complement to your pet’s next surgical procedure.

We determine when and how to use PRP based on a detailed evaluation of your pet’s condition, pain level, and response to other therapies. Sometimes it’s used on its own, and other times it’s paired with stem cell therapy or shockwave for a more comprehensive treatment plan.

Many pet insurance plans reimburse for PRP when prescribed for orthopedic, inflammatory, or post-surgical recovery. If you’re not sure what your plan covers, refer to your policy — and if you don’t currently have pet insurance, click here to learn more.
