  • Doggie’s Day Out of Palm Springs Medical Release Form

     

    This is a required form for all Doggie’s Day Out of Palm Springs participants receiving services.

    First and for most the safety and well-being of your pet(s) is of the highest importance. Ensuring that your pet remains safe and well cared for is our first responsibility, and as such we take it very seriously. We do our best to have our pet owners screen for pre-existing health conditions but some factors may be beyond our control. In the event that a medical emergency arises while a pet is at our facility, or participating in a service that we provide, it is imperative that we are immediately able to get them medical treatment at closest available facility. We will call ahead to the veterinary offices in closest proximity geographically to ensure they can handle the emergency present. Your pet will be transported to the closest available facility for treatment and you will be notified. We notify the owner AFTER we have secured a medical treatment center for the animal, to avoid delays that may be caused by emotion. Our goal is to get your pet medical attention as quickly as humanly possible, and any distractions may interfere with that process.

    For that reason, it is a requirement to have Owners sign this form.

    I understand that in the event of a medical emergency, Doggie’s Day Out of Palm Springs, at its sole discretion, may deem it necessary to seek immediate attention of a licensed veterinarian. I authorize Doggie’s Day Out of Palm Springs to seek medical attention at the closest available veterinary facility.

    I further agree that I am financially responsible for any medical treatment my pet(s) receives as a result of a medical emergency while attending services provided by Doggie’s Day Out of Palm Springs.

  • Doggie’s Day Out of Palm Springs Doggie Day Care and Boarding Policies

    Temperament:
    All new Doggie Day Care dogs must pass an onsite temperament evaluation prior to scheduling day care or boarding visits. Since

    Doggie Day Care applicants are off-leash in the play areas, aggressive or toy possessive dogs are not accepted. Temperament evaluations are conducted by appointment only

    We retain the right to refuse any dog if it is determined to be unsuitable for our programs. Common reasons for a dog to be denied admittance include but are not limited to: shows aggressive behavior toward our Dog Handlers or other dogs, anti-social, shows overly nervous or anxious behavior, shows overly possessive tendencies, or has concerning medical issues.

    How does the evaluation process work?
    There are three parts to the evaluation. First, we do a hands-on test with your dog to ensure the safety of the staff. This includes putting our hand near your dogs mouth and ears, touching their four paws, and giving them a hug. The second part is to observe your dog viewing other dogs through a fence. The third step is you to evaluate your dog for Doggie’s Day Out of Palm Springs with a “Day of Play”.

    What is temperament testing?
    The requirements for a dog to participate in Doggie Day Care is more stringent than for boarding. Doggie Day Care is designed for social, outgoing dogs who like to play with other dogs. A typical day involves meeting, greeting, and interacting with a variety of unfamiliar dogs. Many dogs thrive on constant social interaction. But, some dogs do not understand or even like to be put into this type of situation. We want all of our guests to enjoy a safe, fun-filled day with us. A temperament test is the process we use to determine if your dog is a good candidate for Doggie Day Care.

    What happens during the temperament test?
    Your application provides history about your dogs routine, personality, and special care. After your tour/evaluation, we’ll discuss the “Day of Play” and schedule it, which usually runs from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. It allows us to introduce your dog to a playgroup. Once we have some baseline observations to go by, we will make a recommendation. You will have facts to use in deciding if our Doggie Day Care and processes are beneficial to you and your best friend. If all goes well, your dog is welcome to future Doggie Day Care and Boarding.

    What happens if your dog is not suitable for daycare?
    We are mindful of the safety, health, and enjoyment of every guest. Occasionally, we meet a dog that initially is not a good candidate for a daycare setting. There are a variety of reasons for this - sometimes a dog is very shy, sometimes they lack good play skills, sometimes they are frightened or aggressive. If your dog is not initially accepted into our Doggie Day Care program, we are happy to recommend our Day Boarding Services, or to our facility trainer who will help you address specific concerns. We warmly welcome you to schedule a follow-up interview when you feel that your dog is ready for our Doggie Day Care environment.

    For pet parents seeking a day care alternative to our group play Doggie Day Care, Day Boarding is a great option. Dogs in Day Boarding enjoy the privacy a K9 kennel for the day, with a 20 minute private play time, and regular outdoor potty breaks throughout the day, without an overnight stay. Excellent candidates for day boarding are Dogs who do not socialize well, who can’t be left home alone, or who are in need of special care or handling throughout the day while pet parents are at work.

    Age:
    All Dogs are required to be at least 6 months of age.

    Spayed/Neutered
    All dogs must be spayed or neutered by the age of 9 months.

    Vaccinations:
    All dogs must have current (at least 7 days prior) vaccination including Rabies, Bordetella, K9 Influenza, Leptospirosis, and DHLPP (or DH2PP or DHPP). Leptospirosis may be included in your DHLPP vaccine and does not need to be a separate vaccine if so.

    Flea Protection:
    It is recommended that you use a flea prevention protocol. Dogs with fleas will be barred from the facility until the problem has been successfully addressed.

    Heartworm:
    Because your dog will be mixing with others, it is a good idea to have your dog on veterinarian approved heartworm preventative, though this is not a requirement to attend.

    Collars, Leashes, Licenses and Barking:
    All dogs must be on leash when entering and exiting the premises. Once inside, your pet’s leash and will be removed, and an in-house leash or collar may be used to prevent any injury to other pets (due to tags, buckles, etc.), and to prevent any damage such as chewing, or loss to your pet’s personal collar or leash.

    “Flexi” leashes are NOT permitted. Please bring your pup in on a regular flat, leather, nylon, rope lead, etc. “Flexi” leashes do not provide proper control of pups.

    Please do not allow your dog to be overly vocal on the way in. We understand that dogs get excited and may be eager to come in and play, and eliminating barking may be easier said than done, but we need to be good neighbors and minimize outside noise.

    It is a recommended to have your dog properly licensed in accordance with your local residence requirements, though this is not a requirement to attend.

    Service fees:
    Payment is required at the time service is rendered. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.

    Day Care guests not picked up by 6:00 p.m. Monday - Friday will be charged a late fee of $21.00. Any pets not picked up by 6:30 p.m. Monday – Friday will be considered an overnight guest and will be charged the appropriate boarding fee.
