On the Edge
Our On the Edge web page discusses cutting edge technologies that Dr Larry Miller, owner of Alley Cat Small Animal Hospital is offering to the community.
Stem Cell Regenerative Medicine
Did you know Dr Miller recently completed the Vet-Stem Regenerative Medicine Credentialing Course? He is one of a handful of Veterinarians in the San Francisco North Bay Area that has completed the credentialing process. This means, if you pet is injured or suffering from painful arthritis he may be able to treat your dog or cat by using their own stem cells for joint and tendon repair due to injury or debilitating osteoarthritis. Stem Cell therapy is in its infancy but it has proven to be effective and safe for your pet. Stem Cell therapy is cutting edge technology; because of new advances in the field, a multitude of new stem cell treatments are rapidly evolving.

Low-Level Laser Therapy
Low-level laser therapy is emerging as the new high-tech device of choice to treat a wide variety of aches and pains, injuries, and diseases. The low-level laser is not simply alternative medicine; it is high-tech medicine destined to play a major role in both human and veterinary care. Used by physicians in Europe for over thirty years, the low-level laser has recently gained approval by the FDA for certain human applications, and physicians and veterinarians throughout the United States are beginning to embrace this extraordinary technology.
Ask Dr Miller or our knowledgable staff to see if your pet may benefit from low-level laser therapy. The course of therapy is non-invasive, fast, resonably priced and pain free !
