'''Fresh Whole Blood (FWB)'''can be [[Blood Collection for Transfusion |collected]] from a healthy donor  and combined with anticoagulant which can then be used for up to 8 hours. Whole blood  contains all blood components which are [[Erythrocytes|Red blood cells]], [[Thrombocytes|Platelets]], [[Leukocytes|White blood cells]], Coagulation factors and plasma proteins. This is indicated for for dogs and cats suffering from anaemia, thrombocytopaenia or a coagulopathy with active bleeding.

'''Stored whole blood (SWB)''' If WHB is collected and correctly stored it can be used for up to 28 days. It can be used for patients requiring red blood cells and plasma proteins as the other components will no longer be viable. This can be used to treat anaemic patients who are hypovolaemic.

'''Stored Frozen Plasma''' is  FFP that has been thawed and refrozen or FFP which is older than a yer old. It can be administered in patients with hypoproteinaemia but will have lost many of its coagulation factors and hence cannot be administered for coagulopathies.

'''Platelet Rich Plasma''' is used in cases  of platelet dysfunction, thrombocytopaenia, it can also be used for coagulopathies in the first six hours of storage. Platelets and plasma protein are present including all coagulation factors.
