Treatment and Emergency Services Authorization:
1. I authorize the veterinarians and staff of High Country Veterinary Services, LLC, to perform examinations, give treatments, perform diagnostics and give prescriptions for non-urgent situations where I or my authorized agents have made an appointment for said animal, and have verbally given consent to treat during the appointment. I understand I am responsible for all costs incurred and will comply with High Country Veterinary Services, LLC’s financial and payment policies.
2. I authorize the veterinarians and staff of High Country Veterinary Services, LLC to examine my animal and perform necessary diagnostics and treatments in emergency situations were I cannot be reached. Our team will always make reasonable attempts to contact you by phone or in person, however, in certain circumstances where it is in the humane interest of the animal or patient, this may not be possible.
By signing below you authorize us to perform emergency services, which incur fees, on your animal, even in the event you cannot be contacted by phone or in person. In extremis, this includes euthanasia. Examples requiring immediate euthanasia would be a road traffic accident, severe and catestrophic colic that could not be transported to a referral center, broken bones that cause extreme pain, shock, and are non-recoverable.
Our emergency services guidelines and policies are on our website for your viewing. Emergency fees are associated with all urgent appointments, day and night, to off-set the costs of rescheduling other appointments during the day and providing emergency services after business hours, on weekends, and holidays. A current emergency fee schedule can be found on our website.
