I wouldn't think it would be legal, and if it is, it certainly shouldn't be.

I’ve spent my entire life around animals and I never thought about where blood transfusions come from. Granted most of my life animals lived or died and there was not the types of surgery available as there is now. But somehow one animal’s nonconsentual pain and suffering in exchange for another animal’s life seems really, really wrong. Damn, the things we are blind to.

WSU's vet school did a lot of early research on animal blood transfusions. We usually got a good turnout from the staff and students there.

I know that some vet hospitals have resident dogs and/or cats that they use when blood is needed. But I don't know how common it is vs this blood bank hellhole.
