Fitzpatrick Referrals is delighted to continue its support of Pet Blood Bank by hosting further blood donation sessions for dogs at our referral practice near Godalming.

Pet Blood Bank is a blood service for animals and runs donation sessions across the UK where dogs come to give blood, which is then used by vets to help save the lives of other critically ill dogs.
