Dogs needed to give blood in Chichester

Thursday, 29 May 2025 06:10

Pet Blood Bank UK has announced that they’ll run lifesaving blood donation days in Chichester.

The charity is asking for the city’s dogs to come forward.

Arun Veterinary Group has partnered with the charity and is looking for donor dogs to attend its first session on Sunday, 15^th of June.

To become a donor, your dog must weigh more than 25kg, be between the ages of 1 and 8, and be fit and healthy. It is also important that your dog is confident and enjoys meeting new people and having new experiences.

The donation itself only takes 5-10 minutes, but owners should expect their dogs to be with the team for around 35-40 minutes. Dogs receive a full health check from the Pet Blood Bank vet before donating and get showered with treats, fuss, and attention throughout their appointment. They even get a goody bag and toy to take home, as well as the pride of being a lifesaver.

Pet Blood Bank plans to visit Chichester every 2-3 months going forward, so owners are encouraged to register their dogs even if they will miss the first date.

Nicole Osborne from Pet Blood Bank UK said, ‘We are so excited to launch our dog blood donation sessions in Chichester. We are looking forward to meeting lots of new donors and really getting the local community behind our mission to help save the lives of dogs across the country. We would love to hear from anyone interested in finding out more or coming along to our session at Arun Veterinary Group on Sunday 15 June’.

If you are interested in finding out more and registering your dog as a donor, please visit www.petbloodbankuk.org or call the charity directly on 01509 232 222.
