Since the dog must be as large as a horse to have been a paladin mount: A 1,100-pound horse that is exercised regularly has a total blood volume of about 50 liters, roughly 10 times as much as a human. Similar to a person, a horse, can donate 10% of its blood, meaning that the blood loss of up to 5 liters, just under 1.5 gallons, is usually tolerated well by a healthy animal.
