About a dozen cats and three dozen dogs are now part of the program – not nearly enough to meet the need for blood. Potential donors are screened and blood-typed, and can donate once every six weeks.

For information on how to enroll a pet in the program, contact the Small Animal Clinic at the WCVM at 966-7126.
