You’d be amazed at how many blood transfusions I see as a veterinary nurse for critically ill dogs (and cats), please consider signing your dogs up to be donors if they are big enough!! 🩸
This is one of those posts we never like having to make... but we really need your help 💔
Our blood stocks are currently critically low, and we're concerned about the number of appointments booked over the coming weeks 😓
Summer is always a difficult time, with holidays and busy schedules meaning fewer dogs come forward to donate. Unfortunately, emergencies and illnesses don't stop for summer 🚨
Right now, we urgently need more lifesavers to come forward 🩸
If you've ever thought about registering your dog to become a blood donor... this is your sign. We need amazing people who can spare just an hour of their day to help save lives ❤️
To be a lifesaver, your dog must be:
🎂 between 1 and 8 years old
⚖️ weigh over 25kg
🐶 fit, healthy, and confident
Register at www.petbloodbankuk.org/welcome
Please consider booking an appointment at a donation session near you soon. We really need you and your wonderful dog to come along and make a lifesaving difference 🙏
If you're already booked in, please keep your appointment if at all possible. We know the warm weather can be a concern, but we have measures in place to keep donor dogs cool, comfortable, and safe throughout their visit!
Please share this post with anyone you know who might be able to help. Thank you so much ❤️
