Blood is greatly needed for animal blood banks. Blood is so direly needed that there is often a 4 week waiting period to receive blood products from commercial veterinary blood banks.
LVVRC has established a volunteer community blood bank to help local animals that need blood. Your pet could give the gift of live and save the life of another animal by donating a little blood to our blood bank.
The benefits of registering as an official canine or feline blood donor are multiple.
- All potential blood donor candidates receive free basic donor screening to determine whether they are eligible as a donor, including:
- physical examination
- basic blood work
- infectious disease screening
- blood typing
- Donors will also receive credit for a free blood product for every donation made.
- Rescue organizations that donate will receive a credit for one unit of blood that can be used by any other dog in their care.
The ideal volunteer for blood donation will be:
- young to middle aged
- well behaved
- healthy
- meet weight requirements
- cats: 10 lbs or greater
- half-pint dogs (40 to 69 lbs)
- full-pint dogs (70 lbs. or greater)
- cats: all blood types needed
- dogs: universal donors needed
