I am the owner(s) of the animal(s) seeking behavioral medicine treatment from the Florida Veterinary Behavior Service. Behavioral treatment, training and advice when properly maintained after completion can be very helpful in resolving problem behaviors in animals. Because each pet is an individual, no guarantee or assurance can be made as to the results that may be obtained. Animal behavior including aggression is unpredictable and will remain unpredictable after its treatment. Florida Veterinary Behavior Service cannot promise that the animal's Behavior Service treatment, training or advice will eliminate the animal's potential danger to persons or completely control the animal's aggressiveness. Animals should be closely supervised particularly around children and infants and should be controlled at all times including conformance with local ordinances and "leash laws."I am bringing my pet to this appointment with a full knowledge of these risks and understand and accept the liability that is inherent in owning a pet who has shown aggressive behavior.I understand that all fees are to be paid at the time of service and accept full responsibility for the charges incurred in the treatment of my petTelehealth appointments may be recorded for internal training only.*
