Today we brought an injured stray cat from our neighbourhood to ARH 24/7 Emergency & Specialist Vet. From the moment we arrived, the receptionist was warm and welcoming, and a vet saw her immediately. They checked for a microchip, explained everything clearly, and treated her shoulder wound with great care. The vet reassured us that the injury was not serious, provided pain relief, and advised us to follow up with a regular vet for stitches and antibiotics to keep the cost down. We were incredibly touched that they did not charge us any fees not even the initial $280 consultation fee and even gave us a simple carrier to transport her safely. We are truly grateful for their compassion, professionalism, and generosity. Thank you for helping this vulnerable cat and supporting those of us who are trying to care for her.

My lil man was very sick, he was a mystery and had so much going on with him that I thought I would lose him. The Crital care team and Dr Emily were Amazing. Even when another issue occurred which put us what felt like at square 1 the staff went above and beyond to get my lil man back home. Big thank you to Dr Mark Haworth, Dr Rachel Soh and Dr Corrine James for the time, effort and care you put in with Simba. Also Dr Emily Pritchard who helped immensely in bringing him home. I received regular, honest updates during Simbas care. The progress is Wonderful and I still have my lil man to cuddle.

Dear Dr. Hubacker and the ARH Team, I have always said that good health is priceless. I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional care provided to my dog, Nikki, this past Sunday. As our regular veterinarian was unavailable, this was my first experience with ARH. I was thoroughly impressed by your professional staff. I particularly appreciate your honoring our Healthy Pets Plus membership by waiving the consultation fee; this gesture was greatly appreciated. Nikki is recovering well and remains resilient. As instructed, we will attend a follow-up appointment with our regular veterinarian this Friday. Thank you again, Dr. Hubacker and the entire team, for your support and for ensuring Nikkis well-being. Best regards, Peter Kuriakos

Blood transfusions can mean the difference between life and death for pets facing emergencies or serious medical conditions. They are commonly needed for surgeries, trauma and accident cases, toxin exposure, severe anaemia, immune‑mediated diseases, and clotting disorders.

But unlike human hospitals, veterinary clinics don’t have large blood banks to draw from, they rely almost entirely on the generosity of healthy donor pets. When your dog or cat donates blood, they become part of a small but vital group helping to ensure that every pet has access to lifesaving care when they need it most.

What would a blood donation look like for my pet?

1. You’ll be contacted when your pet’s blood‑donation superpowers are needed.

We only call donors when there’s a pet in need, so every donation truly makes a difference.

2. When you arrive at our hospital, our friendly team will welcome you and admit your pet just like for any routine procedure.

We’ll ask a few questions about your pet’s recent health, and you’ll be asked to sign a consent form.

3. Once admitted, your pet will receive a full health check by our veterinary team.

This includes a pre‑donation blood screening to ensure they are healthy enough to donate safely on that day.

4. If your pet is fit and healthy to donate, they’ll be settled into a comfy bed.

An IV catheter is placed, usually in a front leg, and they’re given a light sedation to help them feel relaxed and calm during the donation.

5. A small area on your pet’s neck will be shaved for sterility, as this is where the donation needle is placed.

6. The donation itself typically takes between 5 and 15 minutes.

Most pets rest comfortably throughout this time thanks to the mild sedation.

7. After the donation, your pet will receive intravenous fluids and some tasty snacks to help replenish their system. They’ll be monitored closely as they wake up from sedation.

8. Once your pet has fully recovered, our team will call you to pick up your little hero.

A quiet, relaxing evening at home on the couch is usually all they need, after all, they’ve earned it!

After donation, your pet’s blood may be used immediately for a patient in urgent need, or it may be stored under carefully controlled conditions so it’s ready the moment an emergency arises.

Whole blood can typically be refrigerated and safely stored for up to 28 days before use, although some hospitals may use it sooner depending on patient needs.

We only call on fit and healthy pets for their blood donation superpowers so your pet must meet certain criteria to donate blood.

Canine Donors

· Fit & healthy*

· Between 1-8yrs old

· A relatively cool, calm and collected temperament

· >25kg in body weight

· Up to date with vaccinations and preventives including Heartworm

·  Not previously received a blood transfusion

· Not currently on any medications

· Free from any underlying health conditions

· Desexed (females must not have had a litter)

* No underlying conditions that will affect their ability to donate bloodroup.

We only call on fit and healthy pets for their blood donation superpowers so your pet must meet certain criteria to donate blood. 

Feline Donors

Please note that only selected hospitals run feline donor programs

· Fit & healthy*

· Between 1-8yrs old

· A relatively cool, calm and collected temperament

· >4kg for cats

· Up to date with vaccinations and preventatives

· Not previously received a blood transfusion

·  Not currently on any medications

·  Free from any underlying health conditions

·  Desexed (females must not have had a litter)

·  Ideally indoor cats (cats will be tested for FIV)

* No underlying conditions that will affect their ability to donate blood

 

How much blood is taken?

· Dogs: Typically, 350 - 450 mL

· Cats: Typically, 40 - 60 mL

How long does a donation take?

Your pet will usually spend a few hours with us on the day of their donation. This allows our team to give them unhurried, attentive care throughout every step of the process.

The actual blood collection is quite quick, typically taking around 5-15 minutes.

Why does my pet need to stay in hospital?

Most donors will receive a light sedation to make sure they are calm and comfortable for the donation. This can mean that they spend a few hours in the hospital with our teams while they monitor their recovery. Don’t worry, our team will send home our little hero’s as soon as they are feeling great again.

Can I take my pet for a walk when they get home from their donation?

Our dedicated teams will provide you with a discharge information sheet that explains how to care for your pet when they get home after a donation.

We advise that your pet skips their afternoon walk and instead spends the evening on the couch resting. Donating blood can zap a bit of their energy so it is important to let them rest and recovery. They can usually return to their normal activities the next day.

Is blood donation safe for my pet?

Yes. The process is designed to be very safe. Pets typically tolerate donations well and return to normal activities the same day.

Our veterinary teams perform a full physical exam, pre-donation blood screen and a full annual blood panel for donors to ensure they are fit and healthy enough to donate blood.

How often can my pet donate?

It is considered quite safe for eligible dogs or cats to donate every three months however, generally speaking, we will only call on your pets donation abilities every 6 months.

Does it hurt my pet?

Our team takes every precaution to make sure the donation process is as painless and stress‑free as possible. The needle may cause a brief, mild sting that lasts only a second, similar to what humans feel during a routine blood draw. To help reduce even that tiny sensation, we typically apply a numbing cream beforehand. Most pets tolerate the needle extremely well with this approach.

Do pets have blood types?

Yes, dogs and cats do have blood types! Cats have three main types: A, B, and AB, and they can only safely receive certain types. Dogs have several blood groups, but the one veterinarians test for is DEA 1, which can be positive or negative. If your pet is eligible to be a blood donor, our team will run a blood‑typing test to find out exactly what type they are.
