Blood Donor Program
Like humans, animals suffering from life threatening illness and injury such as trauma, anaemia or bleeding disorders may require life-saving transfusions. As a result, we require volunteers to join our blood donor program. Your pet could assist us in saving the lives of others!
Requirements for Blood Donors
Cats can also be donors and again must be in good physical condition and weigh at least 4kg and be between the ages of one and seven.To ensure all blood products used are of the optimum quality, we recommend donors to be dogs over 30kg, aged 1 to 6 years of age with current vaccinations including heartworm prevention, and have a friendly and calm demeanour. Donors should not be on any form of medication and should live relatively close to the clinic.
Our Way of Saying Thank You
We are very grateful to all our donors and as a thank you will provide complimentary six monthly wellness examinations, Idexx blood tests, annual vaccinations and a Proheart injection after giving blood.
