Overview

Blood transfusions can mean the difference between life and death in a critical moment. At LeelaVet Hospital, we offer a fully supported Veterinary Blood Transfusion Service, designed to provide immediate, safe, and effective transfusion therapy to pets suffering from trauma, anemia, clotting disorders, or surgical complications.

Our trained veterinary team ensures each transfusion is precisely matched, carefully administered, and closely monitored. Whether your pet is recovering from surgery, fighting immune-mediated disease, or experiencing acute blood loss, we’re equipped to deliver timely and compassionate care.
