Requirements for Becoming a Blood Donor
Donors must weigh at least 35 pounds, be in good health, and between the ages of 9 months and 7 1/2 years.
Dogs must be maintained on heartworm preventive and must be current with their regular veterinarian’s preventive health and vaccination schedule. In addition, they should have had no prior serious disease or take any long-term medication. (There are a few exceptions, so call for details.)
Make a commitment to donate five to seven times over the course of one year. (Dogs can safely donate as often as every three weeks.)
Donors must be brought to our facility or to a blood drive location (see back cover.) If you are not in our area, we can direct you to a nearby donation site. Special group trips to private residences can be arranged. Please call for details!
**Please note that we cannot function as a hospital should your pet become ill in any way.
