Who here has dogs that have the universal blood type that are used as blood donors in vet clinics? I have not been on the local vets lists for a few years. I had a couple that were used as donors before and am going to have some of my others typed soon as well.

Dogs have several different blood types.

1 of my dogs are DEA 1.1 (universal blood type)
2 of my dogs DEA 4 (most common type 98% of dog population).
the 4th dog is the RAREST type of all, DEA 3
all donate regularly.

Greyhounds are universal blood donors, but mine are now too old to be blood donors. Two of them were donors when they were younger.

From what I understand any healthy dog can give blood- but that is just what I heard years ago
