Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy for Dogs in Huntington, NY
Advanced Healing with Your Dog’s Own Cells
At Huntington Animal Hospital, we’re proud to offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy—a cutting-edge regenerative treatment that uses your dog’s own blood to help heal painful injuries, reduce inflammation, and support tissue repair.
PRP therapy is a safe and natural option for treating a variety of orthopedic and soft tissue conditions in dogs. By harnessing the body’s own healing power, we can reduce reliance on medications and improve your pet’s quality of life.
What Is PRP Therapy?
Platelet-Rich Plasma is a highly concentrated solution of platelets, collected from your pet’s own blood. These platelets are rich in growth factors that promote tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation.
During a PRP procedure:
- A blood sample is drawn from your dog.
- The sample is processed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets.
- The PRP is injected directly into the affected joint, tendon, or surgical site.
This natural approach accelerates healing and can offer long-lasting relief.

Top 5 FAQ's About PRP Injections for Dogs
What are PRP injections, and how do they work?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections use a concentration of your dog’s own platelets—taken from a small blood sample—to promote healing and reduce inflammation. These platelets contain natural growth factors that support tissue repair in joints, tendons, and muscles.
What conditions can PRP treat in dogs?
PRP is commonly used to treat arthritis, ligament or tendon injuries (like cruciate ligament tears), muscle strains, and post-surgical pain or recovery. It’s especially helpful for managing chronic joint issues in aging or active dogs.
Is PRP therapy safe for my dog?
Yes! PRP is very safe because it uses your dog’s own blood—there’s no risk of rejection or allergic reaction. It’s a minimally invasive, drug-free treatment option with low risk of side effects.
How long does it take to see results?
Most pet owners see improvement within 1–2 weeks, with continued progress over several weeks. The results can last several months, and some dogs may benefit from repeat treatments depending on their condition.
What is the cost of PRP therapy, and is it covered by pet insurance?
The cost of PRP therapy varies based on your dog’s condition and treatment plan. Some pet insurance plans may cover PRP if it’s recommended for a diagnosed medical issue. We’re happy to provide an estimate during your dog’s consultation exam.
