| Here at Chesaloosa Farm our Chesapeake bay retrievers have given blood to the Eastern Veterinary Blood Bank (EVBB) since they opened in 1996. I encourage all those that have dogs that are within the guide lines of EVBB, and within the area they cover, to please give. Another dogs live depends on it. Listed below you will find more benefits for you and your dogs. The dogs all get to be cuddled while giving their blood and before and after they get a biscuit buffet. Our dogs soon learn the benefits and are happy to give. |
| BENEFITS OF EVBB DONORS: If your dog becomes a donor to the Eastern Veterinary Blood Bank, your pet will be eligible for the following benefits: Blood Typing Blood Chemistry Profile and Complete Blood Count yearly Heartworm Test every 6 months Tests for Tick-transmitted Diseases every six months Brucella Test Von Willebrand's Test (This is a disorder similar to Hemophilia.
