Is anyone here involved in a canine blood donation program? I'm thinking about enrolling Mara but would like to know opinions on this.

I know lots of people who have blood donar dogs.
I think it's great.

Ariel gives blood. She has since she was a year old.

There is a thread with pictures I'm trying to find it.

Here is the thread of the actual procedure.

How often do you take Ariel?

Dax · #7 01-13-2006, 08:46 AM

We go every 3 months. The whole thing takes about 30-45 minutes (most of the time waiting). Your dog must be calm without sedation.

I might have to wait a bit longer--she's still quite hyper at times....almost 2. She'll start settling better soon I hope.

I wish they did something like that in the UK but they don't
