The program is free, takes only minutes and may possibly save another canine's life. That alone is a great motivator. But in addition, there are perks beyond helping other dogs and owners. If your dog is a volunteer they will get free heartworm and flea treatment, and a snake vaccine to help strengthen their blood against venom.
The basic criteria for your dog to donate are:
- healthy and friendly
- weigh more than fifty pounds
- between one and seven years old
- current on vaccinations
- free of parasites.
To learn more about canine blood donation go to AKC Canine Health Foundation.
