Blood Bank

Just as in human medicine, blood products can be a lifesaving resource for critically ill or injured pets. Time is of the essence when blood and plasma products are needed, but these products can be difficult to find for pets. Thanks to a network of local, all-volunteer canine and feline donors—pets just like yours—NorthStar VETS® has established an in-house blood bank with inventory at the ready.

We’re Always Looking For Donors

Because the need for blood products can fluctuate, we’re always looking for donors. Blood donation is a unique opportunity to help less fortunate animals in their time of need. The donation process is easy and fast and includes lots of affection and treats.

Blood Donation is a Rewarding Experience
