Sometimes dogs, like people, need blood transfusions. Everyone who works at my vet's office knows that they are always welcome to call me whenever a patient needs blood. From what I understand, all dogs have the same blood type; the real issue is the amount. Since my dogs are large, they can donate to any other dog. And, although this isn't why I let them donate blood, I always get a nice credit on my next vet bill, usually between $50 and $80.
So for readers who have dogs (I don't know if this works for cats, but I suspect it might), they may want to let their vets know that their healthy dogs are available for donation.
