Do animals have blood types?

Yes, animals absolutely have blood types, though their systems are often more complex and varied than the human ABO system, with different antigens on red blood cells determining compatibility for transfusions, crucial in veterinary medicine to prevent dangerous immune reactions. While humans have ABO, dogs have over eight types (like DEA 1.1, 1.2), cats have A, B, and AB, and even cows have around 40 types, highlighting species-specific systems vital for safe blood donation.
