In the event any of my animals become ill, Leash & Lead is authorized to take them to either my veterinarian or selected after-hours emergency clinic to diagnose their condition. The veterinarian is to call me for authorization to treat. If I am unavailable and this is an emergency, the veterinarian is hereby authorized to treat the animal at their discretion. The charges for any vet visit or treatment will be my responsibility with the veterinarian or clinic.
