The Veterinarians' Blood Bank was founded to provide an essential, lifesaving service to the veterinary community. Just as people may require blood transfusions following an injury, illness, surgery, or emergency, dogs and cats may also depend on blood products to survive. The need for veterinary blood products continues to grow, and many pet owners may never realize how important this resource is until their own beloved companion faces a critical situation. When an emergency occurs, timely access to safe, healthy blood products can make the difference between life and death. This is why our donors play such an important role. Their contribution helps provide veterinarians with safe blood products they need to care for critically ill and injured animals. Our donors are true HEROES. We deeply value the lifesaving contribution they make to veterinary medicine and are incredibly grateful for the important role they play in helping pets and the families who love them. Every donation has the ability to help save a life.
Each of our canine heroes are serologically screened for anaplasma, ehrlichia, borrelia burgdoferi (lyme disease), and dirofilaria immitus (heart worm disease).
All feline heroes are serologically screened for feline leukemia virus antigens, feline immunodeficiency virus antibodies, feline calicivirus (FCV), influenze H1N1 (swine flu), bordetella bronchiseptica, chlamydophila felis, feline herpesvirus (FHV-1) and mycoplasma.
All heroes are vaccinated annually with boosters, bordetella, and rabies. They are also given routine parasiticides. These heroes are routinely monitored hematologically and considered specific pathogen-free.
With onsite veterinary care our hero donors are kept in a closed colony. We provide an indoor/outdoor biosecure facility, providing ample space for exercise and socialization.
