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.

Last year, we supplied over 5,000 lifesaving blood products to vets across the UK. Demand is continuing to grow so more than ever we need more dogs to register with us, particularly those more likely to be negative blood type. Find out more https://t.co/xPBVa9s9kK 🐶 https://t.co/nLJrfDusZg

Did you know that as well as dogs, we also have a blood processing service for alpacas? This is lovely little Dora from @BecksideCF. She urgently needed a plasma transfusion to help build her immunity shortly after birth. She is now doing really well and looking much healthier 🙌 https://t.co/72KcPXPYni
