Did you know that your dog could be a hero?
Exciting news - we have launched a new partnership with the Canadian Animal Blood Bank, and will be hosting regular Canine Blood Donor Clinics here! 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!
Date: November 25th 2026
Time: 11am-3pm
Is My Dog Eligible?
Healthy dogs who are over 55lbs and between the ages of 1-8 can join the pack! We also require that donors be up-to-date on their core vaccines/titres. We understand donating is not for every dog, and we want it to be a positive experience for everyone - so please consider your dog's temperament if you are considering signing up. Canine donors are required to lay on their side for approximately 3-5 minutes, which can be quite inconvenient for some of our busier furry friends! We also have a few people in the room during the process, comfortably and gently holding your dog, so donor dogs should be comfortable with cuddles. If you are not sure, feel free to get in touch with us to ask any questions you might have!
What are the Perks of Being a Canine Blood Donor?
There are many perks for new and existing donors in our pack!
First-time donors: blood typing test, 4DX SNAP test (clears for Heartworm, Lyme, and two other locally present tick-borne diseases), bandana and dog tag
With every donation: quick physical assessment (temperature, pulse, respiration, weight), PCV and TP test (determines red cell levels and hydration levels), additional blood work sent to lab (clears for 12 other blood-borne diseases)
Existing donors: microchip at second donation, milestone tags every 5 donations, 4DX SNAP test annually (we will send results to your vet!)
A little extra... 1 complimentary blood product per donation should the need ever arise within your family.
To Sign Up to Join the Pack!
Please have your veterinarian complete the registration form giving your dog the all-clear, and send it directly to CABB! The CABB team will reach out to you and find you a convenient appointment.
