Did you know there are thirteen different canine blood types and that 60% of greyhounds are universal donors? In the Portland metropolitan area there are at least two clinics that have canine blood banks, Northwest Veterinary Specialists and Dove Lewis. Both require their donors to be healthy, never been pregnant or had a transfusion and up to date on their vaccinations. In addition to helping out dogs in need of transfusions your greyhound will receive a free yearly examination with complete blood panel and heartworm preventative for the year as well. They do ask that you make regular donations (between 4 and 6 each year) but what a great way to give back and help save the lives of other dogs!
