Would definitely recommend PBB, website is useful and can supply in house canine and feline typing kits - really easy to use. Yes labs will type +/- crossmatch for transfusion, contact your preferred lab and have a chat with them about their service

we use the typing cards (similar to the canine cards) the 2 main groups are a and b but you can get occasional ab.

The most common type is A but you should always type cats prior to a transfusion and ideally have them cross matched as well due to their antibodies being more sensitive.
