Pet blood bank.

I came across this whilst promoting us, they current,y don't come to Wales but if they get enough intrest would consider setting up a service here. It's deffinatley worth a look. Like us they are a charity but that does not mean we cannot help one another out

Just like the human blood service, Pet Blood Bank collects blood from donors at organised collection sessions.  The blood is then processed into packed red blood cells and fresh plasma and supplied to veterinary practices across the UK.

This means vets have blood products on hand when they need it most to provide transfusions during surgery or to treat major traumas and disease.

I think it's a brilliant scheme. I saw a poster once and asked whether fudgie could donate - but they said they only took from dogs of a certain weight or over. He might qualify now though - er, put on a bit in his latter years
