Veterinary transfusion medicine is a vibrant emerging specialty. HEMOPET established the first private non-profit animal blood bank in 1991 and has since expanded worldwide. We service over 2000 veterinary clinics nationwide and in Canada. Plans are currently underway to develop other regional centers and a coordinated national effort to maximize the efficiency and use of existing inventory. Practical, safe and affordable transfusion medicine continues to be our goal. HEMOPET is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization: Fed. ID #95-4063237.
Our licensed facility houses a colony of healthy, canine donors of universal blood type (DEA 4), maintained in an outstanding environment, screened for an inclusive list of pathogens, and current on all vaccinations. They are all rescued Greyhounds deemed unsuitable for the racing industry. We maintain 175 donors at present in our large facility in Garden Grove, California and have initiated a novel rescue-donor-adoption program for them. All the dogs have been neutered and receive on-site 24 hours-a-day veterinary care and maintenance.
Future plans include relocating the greyhound program to our permanent home nearby, and adding the nation’s first center focused on restoring health to dogs and cats with special needs.
