What Makes a Good Blood Donor?

Ideal donor dogs are healthy dogs between 1 and 8 years of age, weigh at least 60 pounds, and are of a gentle temperament. It is important that donor dogs are current on vaccines, maintained on heartworm preventative, and that they are not pregnant or currently nursing puppies. We do not collect dogs that have had blood transfusions in the past. Greyhounds make excellent donors for a couple of reasons. First, a large number of greyhounds are universal donors, which means any dog can receive their blood. Second, because of their natural disposition, they are typically easy to work with and are more relaxed during collection. Donors come in many different shapes and sizes but they all have one thing in common, they remember the treat after donation.
