Pet Blood Donation

Could your dog be a lifesaver?

We host regular canine blood donation sessions for Pet Blood Bank UK at our Beezon Road surgery. Pet Blood Bank UK is a charity working 24/7 to ensure blood products are available to veterinary practices across the UK. Sessions at Beezon Road run on a Saturday every 8 weeks, by appointment only.

Dogs must fulfil certain criteria, i.e. to be:

 

 

  • Fit and healthy

 

  • Between one and eight years old

 

  • Weigh 25kg or more

 

  • Have a good temperament

 

  • Have never travelled outside of the UK and Ireland

 

  • Not on any medication

On the day, they will receive a full health check and blood tests to ensure they are able to donate. Local anaesthetic cream is applied to their neck where the donation will be taken from. During the donation approximately 450mls of blood is collected. The appointment takes around one hour, where dogs are given plenty of treats and fuss and go home with a goodie bag.

One donation can save the lives of up to 4 dogs!

Please visit Pet Blood Bank UK website to register your dog.

There are many other ways to support Pet Blood Bank UK, such as donations and volunteering. Please see their website for more information - https://www.petbloodbankuk.org/
