Did you know that life-saving measures, such as treatment for immune-mediated diseases and trauma, are possible for many dogs thanks to one canine blood donor?

With one blood donation, your pet could save the lives of 3 dogs across Canada, as different blood products can be harvested from one donation.

Your pet may be the one to provide the unit of blood that saves a life. We want to thank our donors from last week's blood drive! If you want to join, this amazing cause please check out https://canadiananimalbloodbank.ca for more information.

Does your pet want to be a hero? We still have a few spots left!

If your pet meets the following criteria, they can be a potential donor:

~At least 25kg (55lbs)
~Between 1-8 years of age
~Vaccines are up-to-date
~Docile temperament

What to expect during the donation process:

Before their donation, the Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) will draw a small blood sample to ensure that your pet’s red blood cell level is fine before proceeding with a donation. A 4Dx blood test will be run to check that the donor dog is not harbouring any blood parasite diseases such as heartworm. The technician will auscultate your dog's heart and lungs, as well as take their temperature to make sure your dog is fine to donate.

The appointment will take about 30 minutes with the actual blood collection being around 3-5 minutes. Your pet would need to lay on their side for this time frame with assistance from our staff. Owners are more than welcome to stay during the donation process and be with their dogs while the collection is occurring.

If you choose to enroll your pet in the Canine Blood Donor program they will receive:

~Free microchip identification
~Bandana and blood donor tag
~Milestone dog tags
~Complimentary testing for blood-borne diseases and heartworm
~One future complimentary blood product, should it be needed for your pet

When and where is the next clinic?

Sweet Bishop loved showing off her vocal range while in a kennel today 🎶 Until our staff gave in, and tethered her under our technicians desk instead. Singing aside, how could anyone ever say no to this face? 😄🐾🐕

“My dog got into the garbage. What should I do?” This is a frequently asked question and a common concern for pet owners. Dr. Quinn is here to break it down for you! 🐶 If they’ve stolen basic food waste that doesn’t contain bones, corn cobs or apple cores, monitor closely but there is likely no need to panic. Keep a close eye on their appetite, bathroom habits or for changes in behaviour. 🗑️ If they got into the bathroom garbage and have ingested tissue, paper towel, tampons or sanitary pads, there is a significant risk of obstruction. You’ll want to contact your vet immediately for this! In any case, if you’re ever concerned or not sure about what could have been in the garbage bag, contact your veterinarian! We’re here to help. . .
