UC Davis Veterinary Blood Bank Canine Blood Drive
Time: 9:00 AM (US/Pacific) Location: UC Davis VMTH
Did you know that dogs need transfusions, just as people do? Whether it's to recover from blood loss during surgery, emergency transfusion due to trauma (i.e. car accidents), or recovery from a blood disorder, dogs need and use blood every day.
Appointments are now available for Saturday, July 26th!
The UC Davis Veterinary Blood Bank, a non-profit organization affiliated with the UC Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, is seeking canine blood donors!
We are asking for you and your dog to give the ultimate gift and donate blood to those in need. If your pet is 55+ pounds, 1-8 years old, current on flea/tick/heartworm medications, and has never been pregnant, he or she is eligible for our program.
Donating is completely free! The UC Davis Vet Med Teaching Hospital has agreed to cover all costs associated with the donation process! Once you are enrolled, your pet will receive $300 worth of blood test for FREE each year, plus other goodies and freebies each time you visit our facility. Appointments last about 30 minutes, with the actual donation being only about 7 minutes. We provide all dogs with love, hugs and plenty of treats as well!
Appointments can be made by calling 530-752-1393 Monday-Friday 8am-5pm (option 0 on the automated message)
Appointments are available during the week (Mondays, Wednesday, and Fridays) and on one Saturday a month (July 26th).
Questions? Please email caninebloodbank@gmail.com or call 530-752-1393

(Posted by DonWiskerando)Post a new event:
This is a place to post events! Just enter text as you would into the wiki. Try to use links to the pages associated with venues, etc (so if you say "Davis Music Scene" you should make that into a link, ["Davis Music Scene"]). This makes it easier for people to find out more information on the organization, etc. You can easily delete the event after posting it (if you make a mistake, etc). To include a picture you must link to the picture externally (meaning it has to be hosted on some other website). Then just paste in the url of the image in brackets. So if the image is at http://site.com/pict.jpg you would put [http://site.com/pict.jpg]. Feel free to include a flyer/other photo. (Just be sure to type the information too!)
Note: Although your images can be of any size, Please be courteous and respectful and do not post large images. Unnecessarily large images (where smaller ones would suffice) make the events board very difficult to navigate and frusterating to use. Furthermore, large images are less effective than smaller ones. People need to take extra steps to view the entirety of the image to get the information. Additionally, with the increased difficulty in navigation, fewer people will bother visiting the events board if it is populated with large images that you can only see a fraction of at any given time.
Tips: Include the start and end dates/times, the cost (or note if free), a link to further information. Post a week (or more) in advance, if possible. Events are assumed to be open to the public unless otherwise noted.
There are a number of sites that can resize your images for free: http://www.shrinkpictures.com/ or http://www.resize2mail.com/ for instance.
You can quickly get to this page by going to http://daviswiki.org/events (that way it's easier to remember).
