Penny the Pug’s Journey with Stem Cell Therapy
The story and testimonial from Penny’s pet parent,
Tricia Torassa:
“Our pug, Penny, is 3½ years old and has been through quite a journey. When she was just four months old, she developed luxating patella in both back knees. She had surgery on one knee first, and two months later underwent surgery on the other knee and hip, which had already begun to atrophy.
About a year and a half ago, we began working with Dr. Cannizzaro and introduced monthly chiropractic care, homeopathy, and musculoskeletal, ligament, and joint supplements. These treatments made a noticeable difference in Penny’s mobility and comfort. Then, two months ago, Dr. Cannizzaro recommended stem cell therapy to see if it could help even more.
I’ll admit, I was a little nervous and skeptical at first. My top priority has always been Penny’s quality of life and pain management. After discussing it with Dr. Cannizzaro, I decided it was worth trying — even if we didn’t see a change, at least we would know we had done everything possible for her.
To my amazement, the results were incredible. Within days, Penny was moving with more ease and energy than I’d ever seen. Within a week, I noticed new muscle tone developing. Three weeks later, she climbed our stairs on her own — something she had never done before. A month and a half later, she was winning “pug-o-war” battles with our 1½-year-old pug, who is full of endless energy.
To say that stem cell therapy helped Penny would be an understatement. It has given her greater mobility, strength, and confidence — and most importantly, an amazing quality of life. We’re so grateful to Dr. Cannizzaro for recommending this treatment and will continue it for Penny throughout her life.” ~ Tricia Torassa
