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.

We have made the difficult decision to withdraw our support for @DogJogUK 2018 regarding concerns over the welfare of the dogs. We are sorry for any disappointment, but as dog lovers we trust you will agree this is the right thing to do. Full statement: https://t.co/0YKzsZdQMC https://t.co/6qgK5ew8xU

This is Chase. Chase needed two lifesaving blood transfusions earlier this year after being diagnosed with a form of anaemia. He is now recovering well and his owner Xanthe is so thankful to all the donor dogs and their owners for helping to make him better. https://t.co/UM0Z5MUiW6
