PBVS maintains an on-site blood bank/storage facility for banked blood and
blood products. In addition, we have a small reservoir of locally owned pets
available on an emergency basis whenever there is need for fresh whole blood.
We are able to crossmatch your pet’s blood to ensure that it receives
the most appropriate product in a timely and safer manner. Blood products are
somewhat “precious” and can only be maintained in a facility with
the proper equipment.
We also have a program for owners to donate their pet’s
blood. Not only will you be doing a service to our pet loving community but
the program comes with benefits for you and your pet. If you are interested
in our blood donor program, please call or ask about it at our front desk during
your next visit.
