Who we are
Stem Cell Vet is a team of veterinary surgeons and nurses dedicated to improving the lives of cats and dogs in the UK. Headed up by veterinary surgeon Dr Stewart Halperin BVMS MRCVS, we have been trained in stem cell technology and techniques by Dr Mike Hutchinson DVM, who has personally carried out hundreds of stem cell procedures on dogs and cats in the USA. We attend regenerative medicine conferences and keep up to date with the latest techniques, publications and trials.
Dr Halperin is a member of/certified by:
- Royal Society of Medicine
- Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons
- Veterinary Association for Arbitration & Jurisprudence
- British Veterinary Association
- Chartered Institute of Arbitration, by dissertation
- British Small Animal Veterinary Association
- British Veterinary Orthopedic Association
Your dog does not have to live with the pain and reduced mobility of arthritis, which can persist even with medication or surgery. Stem Cell Therapy and other cutting edge treatments have been used successfully on thousands of dogs and cats here in the UK and abroad.
What we do
We carry out Stem Cell Therapy for dogs & cats with arthritis and bone and tendon injuries. This includes hip dysplasia, degenerative joint disease, calcification, common degeneration and inflammation, as well as cruciate ligament damage. We also use Stem Cell Therapy to treat cats with Renal Disease and dogs with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
Stem cell therapy is a very useful addition to conventional treatments for arthritis and other conditions that may not be effective enough in limiting pain, improving mobility or increasing quality of life.
These treatments may include drugs, surgery, physiotherapy, laser therapy, hydrotherapy and acupuncture, and cartrophen injections. We find that in some cases, many of these treatment options may be limited for a particular animal. For example, some animals may not be able to take drug medications because of adverse reactions.
Before we see you, we will already have obtained a full clinical history from your own vet so that we are aware of all current treatments and problems. During an initial consultation each pet we see is assessed and an individual treatment plan is given, according to the type of condition, the severity, and your own preference of treatment options.
Why we do it
We believe that Stem Cell Therapy offers a safe, affordable and effective treatment for arthritic conditions in dogs and cats, kidney disease in cats and IBD in dogs.
We follow in the footsteps of our colleagues in the US and Australia who have been using this therapy for pets since 2005, with great results, and we add to the body of evidence supporting the use of stem cells so that it becomes more widely available for both animal and human use.
Yes, we are vets and nurses, but we are animal lovers foremost and want to reduce the suffering experienced by animals with these conditions.
100% of owners of pets using adipose derived Stem Cell Therapy for arthritis report a marked improvement in mobility, a marked reduction in pain and a marked improvement in quality of life within 3 months of treatment, many within 3 weeks. A number of these animals can come off medication and this is a main aim of the treatment.
Stem Cell Therapy represents a great leap forward in the treatment of arthritis conditions and we are very excited to be at the forefront of this new technology.

Customer Reviews
Tigga is so full of energy and the joy of living once again, it is marvellous. I cannot thank you enough for all you have done for Tigga…I recommend the Stem Cell procedure for arthritis with total conviction.


My cats have had six treatments of stem cells and are doing really well. The staff at Stem Cell Vet were amazing in every way. I would recommend the treatment and all the staff involved in this process.
It has been a privilege to see Stewart. He is very thorough in his investigations and listens to everything you tell him…Arnie has one more treatment left later this month and I am so grateful to Stewart and his team as I know Arnie would probably not be with me, if it wasn’t for Stewart.
Treatment has proved to be of enormous benefit. There is no difficulty in getting Amira mobile and her enthusiasm for running is quite amazing…Long may it continue. I am very happy to recommend Stem Cell Vet.
Stewart and his team have been fabulous in supporting Ollie and us through the treatment, which has significantly improved his mobility…and is clearly in a much more comfort. All of the team care and treat your loved ones as if they were their own.
Dudley is currently doing so much better than before. He is his usual lively self and seems happy and well…We have great peace of mind knowing that Stem Cell Vet are doing all they can for him. I highly recommend contacting them.
We immediately saw the difference. Stewart had a positive attitude and cared about the dog and not my credit card, unlike most of the other vets we had seen. We feel that Stewart has become a friend to us…our dog is now over 2 years old and we hope that with Stewart’s help she lives a lot longer.
