Veterinary Health Center at Kansas State University

Did you know one donation can save up to two dogs? Just like people, dogs have disease or injuries that require blood transfusions.

The Veterinary Health Center is looking for volunteer canine blood donors to help ensure every patient can be treated. Healthy dogs that meet the requirements can donate a unit of blood every eight weeks. After each donation, our donors receive a free bag of dog food after each visit, among other benefits:

• Heartworm prevention
• Flea/tick preventives
• Annual vaccinations
• Annual CBC/Chemistry
• Urinalysis and f***l

As Viktor Frankl described, there is a space between stimulus and response. Even a brief "pawse" can help us regroup and respond with intention.

Veterinary medicine is both deeply meaningful and deeply demanding. Behind every visit is a team balancing medical care, emotional support, and complex decisions. Kindness and patience truly make a difference for everyone in the room. 💜
