Blood donation opportunities here at Great Falls Animal Hospital
The Eastern Veterinary Blood Bank will be at GFAH accepting donations for their canine blood bank in each of the following months: January, March, May, September, November. Donors must meet the following criteria.
REQUIREMENTS FOR BECOMING A BLOOD DONOR:
- A healthy canine weighing 35 pounds or more and between the ages of 9 months and 7 1/2 years. (A dog may remain in the program until they reach the age of 8 1/2 years. Therefore, a dog must be no older than 7 1/2 years to make the required one year commitment.) Blood donors must have no history of serious diseases, and cannot be on medication.
- A commitment to donate five to seven times over the course of one year. (Dogs can safely donate as often as every three weeks.)
- Donors must be brought to our facility or to a blood drive location. If you are not in our area, please contact us; we may be able to direct you to a nearby donation site.
- Dogs must be maintained on heartworm preventive and must be current with their regular veterinarian's preventive health and vaccination schedule.
- Please note that some medications may exclude your dog from the blood donor program. Please contact us for details prior to scheduling an appointment
- Please note that we cannot function as a hospital should your pet become ill in any way.
