Abstract: Transfusion medicine is a vital component of emergency and critical care management of canine patients. Whole blood transfusion has been remained as a life saving measure in both human and animal health practices. However, advances in component therapy have replaced traditional whole blood transfusion, allowing targeted treatment of specific deficiencies such as anemia, coagulopathies, and thrombocytopenia. In dogs, blood group systems are defined by specific red blood cell antigens, making blood typing and compatibility testing essential to prevent alloimmunization and adverse reactions. Understanding these aspects is essential for ensuring safe and effective transfusion practices in veterinary medicine especially in canine medicine.
