Credentials
Product Catalog
Every unit is type-matched, screened, and shipped in validated cold-chain containers from the regional hub nearest your clinic. Order by DEA 1.1 or A/B/AB type — we hold the inventory so you don't have to.
250 mL units, CPDA-1 anticoagulant, 35-day shelf life. DEA 1.1 negative and DEA 1.1 positive held in standing inventory at every hub. The workhorse product for immune-mediated hemolytic anemia and acute hemorrhage.
For coagulopathy, rodenticide exposure, pancreatitis, and hypoalbuminemia. Frozen within 8 hours of collection; one-year shelf life at −18°C or colder.
Type A, B, and AB units from closed-colony donors. The only commercially available AB-negative feline blood in North America held for emergency release.
DEA 1.1 and feline A/B typing kits shipped same-day, plus cryoprecipitate for von Willebrand and fibrinogen deficits. Reagents are USDA-licensed and lot-traceable.
Operations
A wrong unit of blood type can kill a patient. A broken cold chain can spoil a unit before it reaches your IV line. HemoPet runs the only veterinary blood bank in North America that eliminates both failure modes inside a single operation.
Our own lab has performed 186,000 canine DEA 1.1 typings and complete feline A/B/AB typings since 2011 — every unit we ship carries an internal second-confirmation label. You receive a unit that has been typed twice: once at collection, once at release.
Every outbound container is a phase-change cool system qualified to hold 1–6°C for 48+ hours under continuous data-logger monitoring. You receive the logger strip inside the box. Spoilage in transit is no longer a variable in your transfusion plan.
Inventory is held at Garden Grove CA, Dallas TX, Columbus OH, and Atlanta GA. Orders placed before 2 PM local time ship the same day on the courier network that reaches 97.4% of our clinic base overnight.
By the Numbers — 2024
Founded by Dr. Jean Dodds, 1986
“We started HemoPet because a colleague of mine watched a perfectly treatable dog die of a transfusion reaction that should never have happened. Forty years later the problem hasn't gone away — but the supply chain now answers to a standard we wrote, not one we inherited.”
