I understand that I can terminate treatment at any time by contacting the attending veterinarian. I also understand the staff of AHDC will follow all responsible precautions against illness, injury, or escape of my pet(s), but they will not be held liable or responsible in any manner whatsoever, under any circumstances, on account of the care, treatment, or safe keeping of my pet(s), as it is thoroughly understood that I assume all risks.

I understand that any anesthetic or sedative poses some risks to the patient and that precautions will be taken to minimize such risks. Unfortunately, in some cases, your pet's condition may decline to a point where a decision must be made whether or not to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitations (CPR). I have been advised as to the nature of the procedure(s) and the risks involved. I realize that results cannot be guaranteed and that my financial obligation remains regardless of the outcome.

All animals entering the hospital must be current on vaccinations and free of external parasites or they will be treated at the owner's expense. I agree to pick up my pet within five (5) days of the discharge date, and my pet may be considered abandoned if I do not pick up my pet within those five (5) days. In my failure to recover my pet, the hospital is authorized to take the appropriate action as deemed professionally necessary.

I understand that AHDC is not a 24 hour care facility. The hospital is not staffed with medical personnel between the hours of 9:00pm-7:00am. If my pet is determined to be in critical condition, I will be provided with options that will ensure proper care is provided to my pet during these times.

Initial Here
The doctors and staff will do their best to keep me updated on my costs should they extend beyond the scope of the estimate, but it is my responsibility to request updates should the treatment plan change. Full payment is due upon release of the pet. Pets are released only during regular office hours.

Dental Procedure Questions
Please only complete if your pet is having a dental cleaning or procedure performed.
Your pet will be anesthetized for a dental procedure. Once anesthetized, the teeth will be cleaned and radiographs (x-rays) will be performed to evaluate the health of each individual tooth.
Dental radiographs (x-rays) are the highest standard of care. They are the only way to truly assess the health of the surrounding bone and tooth root. Dental radiographs will be performed on the entire mouth before any dental extractions to evaluate each individual tooth’s health and determine if any precautions need to be made prior to extraction. If a tooth is extracted, another x-ray will be performed to confirm the diseased tooth was removed in its entirety.
Dogs have 42 teeth and cats have 30 teeth, with a stronger bite force and thinner enamel than humans. Gingival disease, tooth fractures, abscesses and mobile teeth are common in dogs and cats. It is not unusual for large numbers of tooth extractions to be performed, if the pet has not had annual dentals and daily at-home dental care. Our goal is to keep each healthy tooth and have a pain-free mouth.
I understand dental radiographs will be performed on my pet. Please type N/A if a dental is not being performed on your pet.
