Did you know that dogs can donate blood?
This March we will be hosting a donation event for the Canadian Animal Blood Bank. To learn more about the Canadian Animal Blood Bank please visit www.canadiananimalbloodbank.ca
How to Register your dog as a Blood Donor
- Follow the link to the CABB Registration form and complete the parts of the form that you are able to.
2. E-mail a digital copy of this form to reception@rangeroadvet.com once completed.
3. You will be contacted by the CABB once they have received your paperwork.
Note: Your dog must have had an exam within the past year. Your pet does not have to be a client of ours to donate! If we are not your veterinarian please add your pet’s clinic information to the form so we can contact them regarding your dogs most recent health assessment.
