Community Blood Bank Program
Our team of volunteer canine & feline
blood donors provide life saving blood
to other pets when they need it most.
We understand that pets are family, and sometimes, they need lifesaving blood transfusions. That’s where our incredible team of brave canine and feline blood donors come in to help us treat a wide range of conditions.
Haemorrhage
Trauma
Immune Disorders
Anaemia
Rat Bait Toxicities
Snake Envenomations
Pets in Need of Blood
Blood transfusions are a critical part of treatment for many pets. Wether it's severe blood loss (haemorrhage) from surgery or trauma, immune disorders like IMHA (Immune Mediated Haemolytic Anaemia) that attack the bodys own red blood cells, or anaemia caused by parasite infections. Toxins, such as anticoagulat rodenticide poisoning or snake envenomations, pets may need blood products. In these urgent situations, having a reliable blood supply can be the key to saving a beloved pet's life. This is why we have established our community blood donor program to help provide a safe, consistent supply of blood for pets in need no matter the hour.
