SPRYNG™ Joint Injections for Dogs and Cats: A New Option to Help Pets with Arthritis Stay Active
As our dogs and cats live longer, arthritis has become one of the most common conditions affecting their quality of life. The good news is that veterinary medicine has advanced tremendously in recent years. Beyond traditional pain medications, rehabilitation, weight management, and surgery, we now have an exciting new category of treatment called orthobiologics.
These innovative therapies are designed to support the joint environment, improve comfort, and help pets move more naturally.
At Jewel Veterinary Surgery, we are committed to offering evidence based, cutting edge treatment options that complement surgery and rehabilitation whenever appropriate. One of the newest tools we've added to our treatment options is SPRYNG™, an injectable joint therapy from PetVivo that is designed to help improve comfort and mobility in dogs and cats living with osteoarthritis.
What Are Orthobiologics?
Orthobiologics are biologically based treatments used to support joints. Rather than simply masking discomfort, these therapies aim to create a healthier joint environment.
Depending on the individual patient, orthobiologics may be used:
For pets with osteoarthritis
Following orthopedic surgery
Alongside physical rehabilitation
For patients that cannot tolerate long term medications
To help maintain comfort and mobility as pets age
Not every biologic works the same way, and choosing the right option depends on your pet's specific condition and overall health.
What Is SPRYNG™?
SPRYNG™ is an injectable joint therapy developed specifically for veterinary patients. Unlike medications that simply reduce inflammation, SPRYNG functions as an osteocushion inside the joint.
Once injected, it helps create a more supportive environment for the joint by:
Cushioning the joint surfaces
Supporting smoother joint movement
Reducing friction during motion
Helping decrease arthritic discomfort
Promoting improved mobility
The treatment is performed under light sedation and is minimally invasive, allowing most pets to return home shortly afterward.
When Might SPRYNG Be Recommended?
Every patient is different, but SPRYNG may be considered for:
Mild to moderate osteoarthritis
Pets experiencing chronic joint pain
Dogs or cats recovering from orthopedic surgery
Patients needing additional support after surgical stabilization
Senior pets whose mobility has gradually declined
SPRYNG is not a replacement for surgery when structural problems exist, but it can be an excellent adjunct to help improve overall joint function.
A Real Clinical Experience
At Jewel Veterinary Surgery, Dr. Kate recently incorporated SPRYNG into the treatment plan for a cat with significant arthritis who was already undergoing orthopedic surgery for a torn cranial cruciate ligament.

By combining surgical correction with advanced biologic therapy, the goal was not only to address the underlying orthopedic problem but also to improve the health of the affected joints.
The early results have been very encouraging. The patient has demonstrated improved comfort and mobility during recovery, reinforcing our excitement about the potential role of orthobiologics as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
While every pet responds differently and additional long term research continues to emerge, experiences like this highlight why we remain committed to evaluating and offering innovative therapies that may improve our patients' quality of life.
Is SPRYNG Right for Your Pet?
Not every arthritic pet is the same.
Some patients benefit most from surgery. Others do well with rehabilitation, weight management, medications, or a combination of therapies. Increasingly, biologics like SPRYNG are becoming another valuable tool that can be tailored to an individual patient's needs.
