IDAHO FALLS - It's a well known fact that blood transfusions can save a life. But what happens when Fido needs blood? It's not so easy. But one local veterinarian is changing all that

This new program that has been instituted by a local Vet is the best news ever and shows that their are some Vets who care enough to do something extra for these wonderful animals that bring so much love and joy into our lives.

This is really wonderful news, Terry! Maybe more vets who see the article will start up their own donation banks for our furred loved ones. Both dogs and cats could benefit from this.

This is good news, but the bad news is here in South Africa I saw a beautiful dog at the Vet kennel. I asked the worker why this dog is here because he did not look ill to me. I was devastated when he told me that the SPCA take dogs that has no owner or being adopted and then the blood is drained from this dog and eventually get eutanized.
