UPDATED!!! Greyhound Blood Value Cards
We have updated our Greyhound blood value cards this year according to the IDEXX reference lab study. See the information following this link:

The number of bags of life-saving blood and plasma that were sold over the past year.
This number is the potential canine lives that were saved by using these blood products.
This is the number of donations made by our canine heros over the past year.
One way in particular that greyhounds are different from all other dogs is in their reference intervals for several key lab values. In medical fields, a reference interval is the range of values for a physiological measurement in the average healthy, adult animal (for example, the number of white blood cells falls within the same range of numbers for 95% of all dogs). It establishes a frame of reference to help veterinarians interpret a set of test results for a particular patient. So one of the most important factors in clinical pathology is the availability of valid reference intervals (RIs). Erroneous RIs can lead to improper clinical decisions that may have negative results for the patient.
The Greyhound Health Initiative produces a wallet-sized card (pictured) that lists the critical Greyhound-specific reference intervals as compared to non-Greyhound dogs. These cards are available to adoption groups for donation and will be available on our online store for purchase.
