Atopic dermatitis (AD) in dogs is a chronic inflammatory skin disease of immunological origin, characterised by itching, redness and frequent secondary infections. It occurs mainly in young and middle-aged dogs, and breeds predisposed to it include Labradors, French Bulldogs, West Highland White Terriers and German Shepherds.
Current treatment methods include the use of steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (glucocorticosteroids, cyclosporine), antibiotics and antifungal preparations, as well as specialised hypoallergenic diets. This treatment helps to alleviate symptoms, but often does not provide lasting improvement and requires long-term use.
MSCs have strong immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects. When administered subcutaneously to affected areas, they reduce inflammation, alleviate itching and support skin regeneration. Clinical trials and veterinary proactivity have shown a significant improvement in the quality of life of dogs suffering from AD.

PRP provides growth factors that promote healing and improve microcirculation in the skin. It can be used as a supportive therapy in patients with chronic dermatological conditions.
In cases of severe AD, where recurrent inflammation predominates, IL-1 therapy helps to reduce the severity of the immune response and alleviate symptoms.

Atopic dermatitis in dogs is a difficult and chronic disease that requires a modern therapeutic approach. Biological therapies – MSC, PRP and IL-1 – offer a real chance to improve patients' quality of life, reduce the need for steroid medication and limit the number of relapses.
Atopic dermatitis is chronic, but modern biological therapies can significantly reduce symptoms and improve your dog's quality of life. Inflammation on the skin often disappears within a few weeks of local MSC administration.
ak – autologous MSCs are used, i.e. cells taken from the patient, which minimises the risk of complications.
Usually several to several months, depending on the severity of the disease and the dog's lifestyle.
Yes – PRP supports skin healing, and MSCs modulate the immune response. The combination produces synergistic effects.
