Could your dog be a lifesaver? Enrol your dog at Sheriffs Highways Vets pet blood bank in Tyne & Wear!
The team at Sheriff Highway is delighted to announce that we have signed up to be a host practice for the Pet Blood Bank UK.
It is an honour that we can help to support the fantastic work they do. We hope that we can attract some of our own patients to the cause so please help to spread the word.
We know first-hand just how important it is to our patients to have this wonderful service and know without them some of our patients' outcomes could have been very different.
Just as in human blood donation, there are certain criteria that a dog must meet to enable safe blood donation.
Suitable candidates for blood donation will have a small patch of hair shaved from their neck and donate 400-500ml depending on body weight.
We ask all donors once enrolled on the programme to commit to donating 3-4 times a year.
One donation can help save the lives of up to four dogs.
