Donor registration

How many dogs would you like to register? *

Dog's details

Does your dog weigh over 25 kilograms (55 pounds)? *

Yes

Unfortunately, your dog is too light to donate. However, there are plenty of other ways you can help us!

Aged between one and eight years? *

Yes

Sorry, dogs must be between one and eight years old to donate. However, there are plenty of other ways you can help us!

Does your dog have any health problems or medical conditions? *

Yes

Is your dog taking medication for this condition?

Yes

It is unlikely that your dog will be able to donate. Please call us on 01509 232 222 so we can discuss this with you.

Depending on the condition, your dog might be able to donate. Please call us on 01509 232 222 so we can discuss this with you

Does your dog have a history of heart murmurs or seizures? *

Yes

We’re really sorry, your dog won’t be able to donate. However, there are plenty of other ways you can help us!

Has your dog ever received a blood transfusion? *

Yes

We’re really sorry, dogs who have received a transfusion are unable to become blood donors. This is because they may have developed antibodies in their blood that could cause a serious reaction if that blood was donated and given to another dog. We understand that owners whose dogs have received a transfusion often want to give back so there are plenty of other ways you can help us!

Was your pet born outside of the UK or Ireland or have they ever travelled outside the UK or Ireland? *

Yes

We’re really sorry, only dogs who have never left the UK or Ireland can donate. This is because there are a number of blood borne diseases in dogs which are present in other countries but not yet prevalent in the UK. However, there are plenty of other ways you can help us!

Has your dog ever been mated with a dog that has travelled outside the UK or Ireland or has been imported from outside the UK or Ireland? *

Yes

We’re really sorry, your dog won’t be able to donate. This is because there are a number of blood borne diseases in dogs which are present in other countries but not yet prevalent in the UK. However, there are plenty of other ways you can help us!

Is your dog fully vaccinated and up to date with their DHP and Lepto vaccinations? *

Yes

Date of last DHP vaccination? * (month and year)

Date of last Lepto vaccination? * (month and year)

Does your dog receive an annual titre test? *

Yes

Does your dog take part in any activities, such as agility, gundog training, canicross, obedience, or work as a therapy/assistance dog? *

Yes

Yes

We’re really sorry, due to the amazingly important work assistance dogs do, we do not allow them to donate blood as they cannot take time off their duties to be able to rest after donation. We think it’s amazing the work your dog does, and we do hope you’ll support us in other ways!

Does your dog behave in a confident and friendly way when meeting new people? *

Yes

We recommend working on your dog’s confidence before registering them to donate. In the meantime, there are plenty of other ways you can help us!

Has your dog ever showed any signs of fear or aggression when at the vets or groomers? *

Yes

We’re really sorry, your dog will not be able to donate. We want all our donors to enjoy the process so if your dog is fearful or unsettled while at the vets, we know they are unlikely to enjoy coming to our donation sessions. However, there are plenty of other ways you can help us!

Does your dog need to wear a muzzle when being examined at the vets or groomers? *

Yes

We’re really sorry, your dog will not be able to donate. During the donation process, we need to be able to handle dogs without muzzles. However, there are plenty of other ways you can help us!

Does your dog wear a prong collar? *

Yes

Please note that you will need to use a flat or round collar on the day of donation and for 14 days after donation. This is due to the high risk of rebleeding, bruising, or damage that the prongs could cause to the donation site on your dog’s neck. Our vet will check your dog's neck for inflammation as part of our pre-donation health check, if there are any signs of inflammation, your dog will be unable to donate.

Does your dog demonstrate any of these behaviours when visiting the vets: excessive panting, pacing restlessly, shaking or cowering away? *

Yes

Does your dog demonstrate any of the following behaviours when in an unfamiliar situation: cowering, growling, holding their tail between their legs, continuously trembling, or shaking? *

Yes

Is your dog ever lifted off the ground for any reason, for example to put them in the car? *

Yes

The donation process involves your dog lying on their side while being held in place by our team. They must be able to lie happily and willingly during the donation. Do you think your dog will manage this? *
