My dog donates blood about once a month at a local veterinary teaching hospital. He is the universal blood type. They did a complete blood panel on his first visit to make sure he was healthy enough, valued at about $300 alone. He gets free flea/tick/heartworm preventative and after his next visit on Tuesday he'll receive free blood transfusions for life should anything happen to him such as a car accident or whatever.

He really enjoys going, they give him a TON of treats while he is donating and send him home with a huge goodie bag. Their basic rules are the dog must be between 1 year and 8 years old, never been pregnant, over 55 lbs and healthy (which they figure out with the initial blood screening which is free to anyone willing to donate).
