Every unit of blood helps save up to four lives
Launched in 2007, Pet Blood Bank UK is the only charity that provides a canine blood bank service for all veterinary practitioners across the UK.
As part of our charitable remit, our aim is to advance animal health and welfare and to relieve suffering by providing quick and convenient access to blood.
Similar to the human blood service, dog owners kindly bring along their much loved canine companions to give blood at one of our many sessions across the country.
The blood is then taken to our processing centre in Loughborough where it is separated into red blood cells and plasma products, and then stored ready for despatch.

1,850 miles and £600 later and our fundraising stars at Boundary Vets smashed their target of walking 1,500 miles last month! A huge well done to the team who not only walked 350 more miles than their target, but also raised a fantastic £600 while doing it 👏 https://t.co/s7P0T7WxXt

We’ve had a great week welcoming the first few donors to our mobile unit! As the team are getting used to the new environment, we had some donors who live locally to our office come along and help us, and they were all superstars! 🌟🐶 https://t.co/xGNTjbsxkH

Do dogs have different blood types? Just like humans, they do! In the UK, the two groups we test for are DEA 1 Positive and DEA 1 Negative. The negative blood type can be given to any dog in an emergency, so is always in higher demand. https://t.co/G80Yv55eh1
