We’re excited to announce the Canadian Animal Blood Bank will be hosting another Blood Donor Clinic on March 15th! This means we will need some help from our furry friends who fit the eligibility and are willing to step up and save other dogs across Canada! 🩸

Certain breeds are universal donors, and there’s a high need for NEGATIVE blood types. If your dog qualifies, consider signing them up! You can stop by our clinic to pick up a form and get more information.

Donating is quick, safe, and you can stay with your dog during the process. One donation can save up to THREE dogs! 🐕❤️
