A Blood Bank That Helps Save Lives
Blood transfusion can be an important part of emergency, critical, surgical, and other veterinary care. MaxHeart's blood bank helps support the availability of appropriately screened and prepared blood when a small animal needs transfusion support.
Your Pet Can Be a Blood Donor
Healthy, suitable pets may be able to donate blood to help another pet in need. If you are interested in donating your pet's blood, contact the hospital so our veterinary team can discuss donor suitability and the donation process.
When Blood Transfusion May Be Needed
Transfusion support may be considered for significant blood loss, anaemia, trauma, surgery, or critical illness when the treating veterinary team determines that it is appropriate.
How to Enquire About Blood Donation
