A huge thanks to Bodie for his donation to the blood bank. Check out the link at the bottom of the page to learn more about becoming a blood donor hero.

Meet Bodie, a proud BluePearl blood donor and a true life-saver! Bodie has donated seven times (that's nearly a gallon!) since becoming a blood donor hero at our Tampa Bay Blood Bank in 2023. Every time he donates, his contribution helps animals in need.

Blood transfusions help pets recover from serious injuries, undergo critical surgeries, and fight life-threatening diseases. And all of this is possible because of incredible blood donor heroes like Bodie and their families!

This weekend, our Tampa Bay Blood Bank is saying a special thank you to their community of blood donor heroes with a Donor Appreciation Event. 🎉 If your pet is a blood donor hero in Tampa Bay - or is looking to become one - learn more about the event below.

Tampa Bay Blood Donor Appreciation Event
📆 Saturday, Feb. 22
🕚 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. ET
📍 3000 Busch Lake Blvd, Tampa, FL 33614

A Texas-based pet microchip service-Save This Life, closed abruptly this week. If your pet was registered with this service, it’s important to you sign up with a different service. It’s important to get registered with a different service. We don’t use this particular registration service at our hospital but patients may have come to us having been registered through this service. Let us know if we can help.

The closure of a pet microchip company sparks confusion, but AAHA's microchip registry lookup tool can help.

Fall is no time to quit on your pet's heartworm protection.

So interesting, Did you know that?..,

STRANGE BUT TRUE: Shocking!
Flowers talk to bumblebees
using electricity. If a flower
hasn't been visited recently by a
bee, it gives off static
electricity. The static tugs at
tiny hairs on a bee's back,
letting the insect know which
flowers still have nectar.
