Donate money

Register your dog

By registering your dog as a blood donor, you will play a vital role in helping to save the lives of other dogs. When we receive your registration, a member of our team will get in touch to talk further about your dog and check their suitability to become a donor. Your dog’s welfare is always our priority. We want to ensure every dog will enjoy the donation process and love coming to see us.

If it has been over four weeks since you registered, please call us on 01509 232 222 or email session@petbloodbankuk.org.

If there are no donation sessions near you, please still register your dog as we are gradually expanding our sessions across the UK. We need a minimum of 60 dogs in an area for us to hold a session, so ask your friends to consider registering their dogs too.

Was your pet born outside of the UK or Ireland or have they ever travelled outside the UK or Ireland? *

Part of the donation process involves us shaving two patches of your dog’s coat using an electric shaver. Do you feel your dog would be calm in a situation like this? *

As part of the donation process, your dog’s coat will be clipped. It would be helpful to familiarise your dog with this before coming along to an appointment. Visit our page on training your dog for donation for guidance on how to do this.

We encourage you to come into the donation session with your dog. However, would your dog be happy to be led away from you by our team if they ever needed to come into the donation session on their own? *
Neutered? *
Is your dog microchipped? *
