The Pet Blood Bank relies on volunteer in order to be able to provide blood products to dogs around the country that are in need of transfusions. Each donation can help up to four other dogs.  
 


To be eligible to be a donor, a dog must meet the following minimum requirements:

  • Be healthy and current on vaccinations and heartworm preventatives
  • Be between the ages of 1 and 9
  • Weigh at least 50 lbs.
  • Have a friendly disposition
  • Be available to donate at least four times a year
 
Donation is a simple procedure and does not require anesthesia or sedation. The donation process generally takes 10 – 20 minutes. Dogs do not need to fast before donating. After donating, your dog will be rewarded with treats and belly rubs.
 
The Pet Blood Bank holds frequent blood drives throughout Central Texas. If your dog would like to be a donor, please e-mail us.
