Drop-Off Appointment Consent Form

I hereby certify that I am the owner or authorized representative of the below-named pet, that I am 18 years of age or older, and that I have the authority to execute this consent.

I also agree that after consultation with me, the hospital’s doctors may medicate, treat, hospitalize, sedate, anesthetize and/or perform surgery on my pet. I understand and accept that some risks always exist with anesthesia and/or surgery and that I am encouraged to discuss any concerns I have about those risks with the attending veterinarian before the procedure is initiated.

I understand that a staff member will prepare a fee estimate describing the recommended medical services and that I am encouraged to discuss all fees before services are rendered. Although estimates cannot always predict actual costs, I agree to the written estimate of costs provided to me within a 25% range.

Valley Center Veterinary Clinic requires a Drop-Off Appointment Reservation Fee in the amount of $70 to hold an inpatient appointment slot, to be paid prior to said appointment. Should your final invoice be less than the fee paid, the difference will be refunded. I agree to pay this fee and assume financial responsibility for the balance of all services rendered at the time the pet is discharged from the hospital.
Treatment Authorization Statement

I have been advised as to the nature of the procedure(s) or operation(s) and the risks involved. I am aware that the practice of veterinary medicine is not an exact science and, thus, there are no guarantees for successful treatment. I have been encouraged to discuss any questions I may have, had them answered to my satisfaction, and accept that my financial obligations remain regardless of the outcome.
