Did you know your dog could give blood?

If your dog is fit and healthy, confident, enjoys meeting new people, between 1 and 8 years old and weighs more than 25kg he or she could be a lifesaver!

If you are interested in your dog donating, register your dog on the Pet BloodBank website and a member of the team will call you back to check the suitability of your dog becoming a donor.

From there, an appointment will be booked by our team. Let us know how you get on!
