Our blood bank supplies life-saving products to veterinarians and emergency clinics to help them respond to emergency cases and everyday situations. The proceeds from the sale of these products will help pay the administrative costs associated with running the blood bank.
Sign Up For A Screening
YES! While there is a risk with any medical procedure, if you’ve ever donated blood yourself, then you know there’s little more than a pinch when the needle goes in and no sedation is necessary. The whole process only takes around 1 hour. While lying on an exam table, the blood bank technicians use gravity to draw approximately a pint of blood from their neck … occasionally one will even fall asleep and maybe even try to roach while donating and they all seem to find the Sinatra satellite radio station we play for them very relaxing.
We evaluate all potential donors for their cooperative nature and relaxed attitude in the clinic—we want this to be a positive and comfortable experience for everyone, especially the pups. Afterward, they get treats and lots of love, and the only sign they gave blood is a small shaved patch on their neck. After a short observation period, they are free to return home. Most dogs can safely donate every three to four weeks, but we typically won’t collect their blood more than six times per year.
