WHAT WE DO

Since 2016, our core belief that all animals should have access to advanced care has allowed us to develop affordable, innovative treatments for canine cancer and joint disease. Our certified clinics offer these innovative treatments:

Due to injury and/or age sometimes our own repair abilities can use a jump-start. By using the pet’s own repair cells isolated from storage areas in the body, this repair ability can be applied to areas of need.

Ardent Animal Health offers PureVet PRP. PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma is a convenient same day treatment that harnesses the healing abilities of the patient’s blood platelets.

K9-ACV is a Canine Autologous Cancer Vaccine. Cancer cells can be recognized as foreign by the immune system if those cancer cells are presented to the immune system in a manner that “breaks immune tolerance.”

Veterinarian Testimonials

“As a veterinarian and a pet parent, I want to do everything I can for my own fur kids and help other pet parents explore options for theirs. Ardent has been an amazing partner in offering higher level care to my patients. On a personal level I just banked my own dogs stem cells. Clark is a Golden retriever and prone to arthirits, ACL tears and other issues that may be helped when he is older. Ardent has been wonderful on education for myself and my team on the banking of stem cells and the PRP injections we offer in the clinic. Fast response anytime I need them and I value them as a medical partner.”
