Sometimes animals need blood transfusions just like people do — for blood loss, surgery or serious illnesses.
The North American Veterinary Blood Bank — or NAVBB — supplies blood to animal hospitals when they need it, and they’re always looking for donors. If you’re interested in volunteering your dog or cat as a donor, here are some requirements they must meet.
Both dogs and cats need to be between one and seven years of age and up to date on vaccinations. They can’t be aggressive or on medications for chronic illnesses, and they can’t have had a blood transfusion. Cats must live indoors and there are weight requirements for both dogs and cats.
You can find a full list of pet blood donor requirements at www.navbb.com.
