Pet Blood Bank
We are proud to support the national charity Pet Blood Bank UK by hosting blood donation sessions. Pet Blood Bank is just like the human blood service, but for pets. They run donation sessions across the country where dogs come to give blood. This blood is then used by vets to help save the lives of other critically ill dogs.
Our donation sessions
We host donation sessions for Pet Blood Bank several times a year to help them in their mission to ensure blood is always available for pets who need it.
Appointments for our donation sessions must be booked in advance directly with Pet Blood Bank. Keep reading to find out how your dog could become a lifesaving donor, or if your dog already donates, you can check our upcoming session dates and book your next appointment through the Pet Blood Bank app, or by calling them on 01509 232 222.
