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 dispatch.

Just like humans, dogs have different blood types 🐕 The two groups we test for are DEA 1 positive and DEA 1 negative. We currently need more dogs of negative blood type to come forward as donors, particularly these breeds. To register, visit: https://t.co/xPBVa9JKJk https://t.co/nc6XiaO16R

A big thank you to donor owner Gordon and his dog Eddie for their recent support. Through raising awareness by an article being written in Gordon’s works staff newsletter about PBB and him putting us forward for their charity scheme, we were awarded a fantastic £450 donation! ❤ https://t.co/RrhiqDSLg3

11 month old German Shepard Talana was sadly in an accident recently and got hit by a car. A scan revealed she was bleeding internally and she needed a transfusion to stabilise her. Thankfully, she responded well and is now back home and recovering well ❤. https://t.co/LH9Pdf0z8f
