For Emergency & Specialty Hospitals
When the case is critical at 2 AM, a board-certified emergency specialist answers the phone.
HemoPet routes every after-hours order through a clinician-staffed hotline, ships DEA-licensed canine and feline blood products from one of four regional hubs, and confirms same-day refrigerated delivery on orders placed before 2 PM local time — so the product is on your surgery table when the patient is still under prep.
By the numbers
The supply reliability a high-volume ER cannot negotiate on.
These are the operational figures behind every after-hours order we ship — audited annually against our 41,200 shipments last year, not marketing claims.
- 97.4% Same-day order fulfillment For orders placed before 2 PM local time, 2024 audit across 41,200 shipments.
- 4 min Average after-hours call routing Median time from hotline pickup to typed-product confirmation with a DACVECC specialist.
- 4 hubs USDA-licensed distribution centers Garden Grove CA, Dallas TX, Columbus OH, Atlanta GA — regional cold-chain coverage.
- 24/7 DACVECC specialist coverage 8 board-certified veterinary emergency specialists rotate the consultation line.
The after-hours order sequence
From call to surgery table in four rehearsed steps.
Every high-volume ER that runs our account goes through the same sequence on a critical case. We publish it so your on-call team knows what to expect before they pick up the phone.

Same-day — patient transfusion
The 24/7 DACVECC consultation line
Peer-to-peer clinical decision support, not a sales queue.
Eight board-certified veterinary emergency specialists rotate the HemoPet consultation line in shifts. When your hospital DVM calls, they reach a credentialed colleague who can talk through transfusion case selection, cross-matching, component choice, and adverse-reaction management in real time.
- Answered by a clinician. Every call is picked up by a DACVECC diplomate or a senior emergency clinician on the specialist rotation. No call-center script.
- Case consult, not order-taking. Specialists can advise on whether plasma, packed red cells, or whole blood is the appropriate component before you commit to a shipment.
- Documentation support. Specialists can walk your team through record-keeping for state board reporting on emergent transfusion events.
- Coverage. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year — including weekends and observed holidays.
