Our Blood Donor Program
Our pets are just as capable of getting a second chance at life with the help of blood donations as our fellow humans, which is why we’ve established a blood donor program for pets here in Caledon Village. Pets deserve as much care and compassion in their time of need as we do, and we are more than happy to offer our support. However, this program wouldn’t be possible without pet owners like you. Your dog could save another dog’s life, and there is no better gift than that.
Requirements for Donors
Your pet must meet the following criteria in order to donate:
- They must be at least 50lbs/22kg
- Must be between 1 and 8 years of age
- Must be in general good health
- Must be heartworm negative
- Must be up-to-date on their rabies and distemper vaccines
- Must never have received a blood transfusion
- Needs to have a good temperament and be able to sit still for 5-10 minutes
Your Reward for Donating
As a show of our thanks for your pet’s generous donation, they will receive the following complimentary services: comprehensive blood work plus tick and heartworm testing, fecal testing, and blood typing.
If you are interested in having your companion become a donor for pets that are ill or injured, contact our Registered Veterinary Technician, Ashley, at 519-927-5775 for more information. We appreciate your help.
