Special Services To Be Performed

We operate a flea free facility and in order to maintain this standard, flea treatments are required for boarding pets. All pets must be on flea prevention, or will be treated with a Capstar at owner’s expense. We cannot guarantee that your pet will not pick up fleas while here but we try our best to prevent it.

I agree to make full payment at the time of discharge. This is to certify that I have read and understand the hospital boarding policies and information on the second page of this form.

Hospital Boarding Policies

Vaccinations:
All pets must be up to date on their vaccinations, and it is the owner’s responsibility to make sure that proof of current vaccines are on file with the hospital at the time of admission. If vaccinations have been administered at another veterinary hospital and they are closed at the time of admission and proof of those vaccinations are not on file, the vaccines will be brought current at the time of admission and the client will be charged accordingly. If any of your pet’s vaccinations are past due, they must be inoculated before boarding and will also be charged accordingly. Boarding pets less than 16 weeks of age or those with less than 2 sets of the DA2PP vaccines given 2 weeks prior to boarding is not recommended, because they may not have developed complete immunity. Pets that are too young and have not completed their entire vaccine series may not yet be protected, owners will need to accept any risk of infections if this recommendation is breached.

Intestinal/External Parasites
All pets must be free of parasites, including fleas and ticks. If your pet is found to have parasites, including fleas and ticks, they will be treated with the proper dewormer and parasite control medication; you will be charged accordingly.
