Many thanks to the dogs and owners who came along to the Pet Blood Bank UK donation session we hosted recently.

A special mention goes to Tilly and Bramble, who have officially retired as blood donors with Pet Blood Bank UK.

We wish Tilly and Bramble - pictured below with their canine sisters, Ruby and Zelda, alongside some of our hospital nurses and Pet Blood Bank staff โ€“ long, healthy retirements.

We also welcomed Barney and Sidney as new members, and celebrated Arkle and Ylvaโ€™s 15th donations, Bronn and Nayoโ€™s 10th donations and Patsyโ€™s fifth donation.

Check out the photos of all the dogs that came along below.

Weโ€™re proud to support the work that Pet Blood Bank UK does, helping to ensure that dogs have access to blood products when they need them most.

If your dog is between one and eight years old, weighs over 25kg, and is fit, healthy, and confident, please consider signing them up at a blood donor. Visit www.petbloodbankuk.org/welcome to learn more.
