Meet our blood donor





       SUPERHEROES










       We are extremely grateful to the
       many dogs, cats and their owners

       in our blood donor family. Their
       commitment to regularly give blood,
       saves lives. Here are just a few of
       the lifesavers and sight-savers too,

       who have donated over the years…

       “I still find it amazing that the Blood Donor Programme   Donor of the Year 2022
       exists at all. You never know when your pet might need a
       blood transfusion” – owner Peter.                      Spike

                                                              when we couldn’t go into the hospital with him, he would
                                                              skip in to see his favourite nurse without a thought for us
                                                              waiting outside!" – owner Katie.

                                  of the Blood Donor team”.   staff were so friendly and fantastic with him that we started
