From the moment we walked through the door Molly was greeted, fussed and fed a few treats. The PBB team and lovely volunteers really made us feel at home. The process starts with taking the dog's weight. Sometimes she'll walk straight onto the scales, sometimes she needs a little encouragement, sometimes I even have to lift her on!
We then go onto the pre-donation checks where the donation site is prepared and a small amount of blood is taken for testing. health checks are carried out - just like would happen at the Vet, all the time fuss & treats are handed out. Once the checks are completed satisfactorily we move to the donation room - more fuss & a treat or two. The team in here make sure that Molly is lifted safely into place on the table and is gently held in position to keep her comfortable and still while the donation takes place.
Molly has donated 17 times now and has never been scared or distressed. The staff and volunteers are so good with all the dogs coming to donate and make sure they are all safe and happy with a few treats and lots and lots of fuss.
If you have a healthy dog who meets the test criteria I would heartily recommend this as each donation can help up to 4 other dogs who may not be as lucky as your healthy dog.
Five stars to Pet Blood Bank UK for all the good work you do - long may it continue

The first time I visited with my 6yr old Greyhound I was greatly impressed. However, on our 2nd visit we were kept waiting 30 miss, then Abbie had a quick look over and her blood taken. I was then told we would be, possibly, another 30mins. They seemed to have taken on lots of dogs. I left and organised to return to another session. Later in the afternoon I was informed Abbie was anaemic and I should have her checked at my vets. This was Saturday. On Monday after 5 different types of blood tests, at the price of £250 at my vets, I was informed she wasn't anaemic! We will check Abbie again in a few weeks. An expensive, worrying trip to the Blood Bank! As I said, my first visit was organised well, the staff were considerate to Abbie. Efficient and compassionate to Abbie's needs. Thankfully, ex-track greyhounds are used to being handled. I'm left wondering about a 3rd visit! In the photo Abbie is between my other two, 12 and 9 yr old greyhounds.

The most wonderful service. I’m still not sure my wee angel is going to make it through but the Pet Blood Bank UK have given her a chance. Regardless of what happens over the next few days/weeks/months, I will forever be indebted to you. Thank you.

Amazing charity! The staff are all so lovely. They treat the dogs like royalty and handle them so well! My dog absolutely loves going and is always so proud of himself after! He especially loves the dog food and toy they give him after! More owners should take their dogs to donate!

I took my greyhound, Billy, to give blood a couple of months ago.
All the staff were brilliant. I was a bit anxious because I didn't know what to expect but they were very kind and helpful and reassuring.
The donation centre was bright and clean and friendly and well organised.
Billy absolutely loved it, he was throughly spoiled with treats and affection from everyone. It was clear that every member of staff is a true animal lover.
Billy was first examined and blood taken to make sure he was healthy and suitable to donate, which he was. It was good for me too to know Billy was in good condition with no underlying health issues.
After his initial examination, we went into another room where Billy was lifted, extremely carefully, onto the vets table, which had 2 thick memory foam mattresses on it to ensure his comfort. I think he would have stayed there all day if he could. After donating blood, we waited for about 10 minutes to make sure Billy was OK and then we could leave, along with lots of goodies for Billy.
Will definitely take Billy again. I feel its such a worthwhile thing to do with no downside

Thank you so much to the donor and the person that drove all the way to West Sussex to deliver the blood 🙏🏼
