“You will be helping to save a life.” ❤️🐾
Meet Indy: a calm, laid-back lurcher with a serious love for sofa naps, beach walks in Skerries, and his favourite squeaky apple.
Adopted from the KWWSPCA in April 2025, Indy settled into family life straight away and is as “good as gold ever since.” Nearly a year on, his owners say they “could not imagine life without him.”
That’s exactly why they chose to bring him to the Pet Emergency Hospital Blood Donor Clinic.
“I had seen posts on Facebook about other dogs who had donated blood and I thought what a lovely thing to do to help another sick dog… if anything ever happened to Indy and he needed a transfusion I know how important it is to have supplies of blood.”
From the moment they arrived, the experience was reassuring:
“The PEH staff were lovely and very professional Ken the Vet put us at our ease and talked us through the procedure.”
After a short sedation, Indy rested up, “he pretty much slept until the next morning”, and by the next day?
“Completely back to normal… wanting his breakfast and a walk and playing enthusiastically with his squeaky apple.”
Simple. Safe. Life-saving.
And Indy’s message to other dog owners?
“Go for it — even if you just do it once, you will be helping to save a life and what a wonderful thing that is to be able to do for a sick pet and their family.”
Could your dog be a lifesaver?
