The Canadian Animal Blood Bank will be hosting another blood donor event at Barrie Animal Hospital on March 28th between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM!
We are looking for canine blood donors and your dog could be a match!
The Canadian Animal Blood Bank is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving veterinary care by providing blood products for animals that require transfusion therapy as part of their treatment. Canine blood is needed specifically for cancer therapy support, rat poison toxicity, parvovirus infections, surgeries, and immune-mediated diseases. Each donor makes a massive difference in the lives of dogs and their families.
The donation procedure is easy and smooth. It takes 8- 10 minutes for the collection process and can make the difference between life and death for dogs in Canada. Please find the donor criteria listed below!
Donor Criteria :
- Between 1 – 8 years of age.
