Stem Cell Therapy now available for canine athletes!

Working dogs have active and often competitive lives, and just like sports athletes, they often suffer muscle strain, ligament damage, arthritis from injuries, hip dysplasia, or inherited osteoarthritis. Up until now, these conditions have been regarded as chronic, and have been treated with steroids, daily pain medications, weeks of physical therapy, surgery, or euthanasia. Carol knew that the answers for a cure were hiding in stem cell science. She began monitoring stem cell research a decade ago, marveling at the seemingly miraculous cures for canine blindness, canine heart repair, regeneration of bones, and spinal repair.
Recently, at Canine Cryobank's California-based laboratory, Medivet-America processed stem cells from adipose fat of three patients. Dr. Pearson and staff from Pearson Animal Hospital in San Marcos, CA injected the stem cells into the painful arthritic hips, shoulders, and ankles. Rambo's owner Susan Jorgensen says, "Rambo seems to be getting stronger and sturdier. At least he's off his pain meds. On a good day, he often seems amazed and puzzled by his new strength. We're hopeful."

For 30 years, Carol Bardwick successfully processed sperm cells into suspended animation. She and her team continue with pride to freeze sperm cells, and are enthusiastic about adding stem cells to her repertoire of life restoration services.

"We can store semen on the dogs for future breedings... Now we are going to be an active part of the latest advances for preserving the vitality of your dogs."

Cooled semen litter helps break records!

We are very proud to announce that our cooled semen services recently increased the population of a rare breed, the Lucas Terrier. In June we sent cooled semen to Sacramento for a surgical AI. However, the doctor was unavailable for the surgery and the semen was used intervaginally. On August 19, 2010, Langford's Rhett Butler (pictured) sired seven lovely female puppies who will continue the fine legacy of their mother and father. Jack Terry, owner of Rhett, says this is the largest Lucas Terrier litter in USA and UK.

Flat Coat Fall at CCI!

Just as the leaves turn red and orange and hunters eagerly slip on their camos, hunting dogs everywhere rejoice! 


 This canine group is exceptionally diverse, and includes terriers, hounds, gun dogs, spaniels, and curs.  In addition to celebrating a bountiful harvest and gorgeous red moon this November, Canine Cryobank is also delighted by the birth of seven frozen semen Flat-Coated Retriever puppies.

Season of Spaniels!

A high number of fruitless breeding attempts on one bitch is taxing for both the canine and owner alike. Well-known Clumber Spaniel breeder, Patti La Pittus knows this torment all too well. Her sweet three-year-old bitch, Ch. Whidbey's Devon Garland (Cassie), has never had a single season. Luckily, with Patti's dedication and love for Cassie, along with the help of Veterinarian Janet Moston and Canine Cryobank, Cassie became pregnant!

A bull & her horn

Marilyn De Cair, a top Bullmastiff breeder in Southern California, was concerned when Dr. Pearson, DVM, requested that a staff technician escort her from the waiting room to join her bitch in surgery. 

Soy Goodbye to Infertility

Yesterday night while walking through one of the new ritzy health-conscious grocery stores sprouting up on every corner, I was astonished to find soy in almost every product. The bean-based substance, which I happen to be deathly allergic to, was in everything from cheese and yogurt, to gelato and potato chips!
