				Abstract 
 
              
              
              Aim: 
              
              The objective of this study is to investigate the improvement of 
              heart function in dogs with chronic valvular heart disease after 
              puppy deciduous teeth stem cells (pDSCs) administration. 
              
              
              Materials and Methods: 
              
              20 client-owned dogs with degenerative valvular heart disease 
              underwent multiple intravenous injections of allogeneic pDSCs. 
              Dogs were randomly assigned to two groups: (i) Control group 
              (n=10) with standard treatment for heart failure and (ii) group 
              with standard treatment and multiple administrations of pDSCs 
              (n=10). Electrocardiography, complete transthoracic 
              echocardiography, thoracic radiography, and blood pressure were 
              recorded before and after pDSCs injections for 15, 30 and 60 days. 
              
              
              Results: 
              
              Post pDSCs injection showed measurable improvement in left 
              ventricular ejection fraction, American College of Veterinary 
              Internal Medicine (ACVIM) functional class significantly improved 
              and improved quality of life scores were observed. In the control 
              group, there were no significant enhancements in heart function or 
              ACVIM class. 
              
              
              Conclusions: 
              
              This finding suggests that pDSCs could be a supplement for 
              valvular heart disease treatment.
