Advantages of Donating Blood

  • Physical examination before each donation
  • Blood Typing
  • Blood Chemistry Profile and Complete Blood Count (CBC)
  • Heartworm test
  • Ehrlichia, Hemobartonella, and Babesia testing (diseases spread by ticks)
  • Brucella testing (once for neutered dogs and yearly testing for intact dogs)
  • For each unit of blood donated, a donor is eligible to receive one unit of blood or plasma should illness or injury ever warrant its use.
  • EVBB tag which identifies the dog as a blood donor, and can be traced through the EVBB if the owner cannot otherwise be located
  • EVBB bandanna identifying the donor as a life saver
  • Various free pet health and nutrition giveaways
  • And plenty of dog treats before and after each donation
