I googled animal human blood transfusion..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_transfusion
It is as if some Christians sit there and wait for the smallest thing that they can dispute and then jump onto it...

That is an interesting question I could not find much on. I suspect in general there should be a rough relationship. But even all humans can't safely exchange blood. I couldn't find any successful inter-species transfers. And most insects don't have our kind of blood - there is no closed circulatory system and no oxygen carrying molecule.

Animals and bacteria have cell surface antigens referred to as a blood type. Antigens from the human ABO blood group system are also found in apes such as chimpanzees, bonobos and gorillas. Other animal blood sometimes agglutinates (to varying levels of intensity) with human blood group reagents, but the structure of the blood group antigens in animals is not always identical to those typically found in humans. The classification of most animal blood groups therefore uses different blood typing systems to those used for classification of human blood...
