For any dog owner, watching a beloved pet suffer from illness, injury, or age-related conditions is heartbreaking — especially when that condition is arthritis. Arthritis is a painful, debilitating disease common in large dogs, often leading to severe discomfort and reduced quality of life.
But in Bruton, Somerset, one veterinary surgeon is changing that narrative. Dr. Stewart Halperin, known as the ‘Miracle Vet’, is pioneering revolutionary stem cell treatments that bring new hope to dogs struggling with arthritis.
With decades of experience and a deep passion for animal care, Dr. Halperin is among the few vets worldwide licensed to harvest and administer stem cell therapy specifically designed for dogs. His clinic in Bruton specializes in this regenerative treatment, which targets pain, accelerates healing, and improves joint function.

The transformative impact of his work is clearly visible in videos shared on his YouTube channel, where dogs once crippled by arthritis are seen running, playing, and leading pain-free lives. Testimonials from grateful pet owners reinforce these incredible results, highlighting significant and lasting improvements.
Dr. Halperin’s dedication to veterinary medicine stems from a personal place. As a child, he endured the loss of his loyal dog Benji due to illness, an experience that planted the seed for his mission to prevent others from feeling the same helplessness. Since then, he has committed himself to advancing regenerative therapies that restore mobility and vitality to pets.
A founder of Stem Cell Vet, Dr. Halperin performed one of the first Adipose-Derived Stem Cell Transplants for canine arthritis in 2012. Since then, he has become a leading figure in UK veterinary regenerative medicine, also sharing his expertise as a former director of the London Veterinary Forum and a respected author. Frequently featured on BBC Radio, he educates the public on pet health innovations and the benefits of stem cell therapy.
Although stem cell treatment may not be appropriate for every dog, its availability at his Bruton clinic offers hope to many families desperate to see their dogs enjoy a better quality of life.
For those interested, Stem Cell Vet is located at 25 High Street, Bruton, Somerset — a beacon of hope for dogs suffering from arthritis and their owners.
