  • Release of Liability

  • I hereby consent and authorize Hanover Veterinary Hospital to receive and board my pet(s). I understand the hospital will use all reasonable precautions for the safekeeping of the described pet(s), but the hospital will not be held responsible in any manner whatsoever on account of medical situations that may arise, as it is thoroughly understood that I assume all risks. I also understand that hospital personnel are not present continuously after normal business hours.

  • Vaccinations

  • I further understand the hospital policy state that all vaccinations must be up to date at the time of boarding. This includes Rabies, Distemper, bordetella (kennel cough) and a negative fecal for dogs and Rabies, FVRCP and a negative fecal for cats. If my pet comes due for his/her vaccines while boarding, they will be updated during their stay but a fecal sample must be brought no later than one week prior to boarding. If my pet is overdue for vaccines and I need to board them due to unforeseen circumstances, I will contact Hanover to make arrangements for a safe and healthy boarding stay.

  • Special Diet

  • If my pet requires special or prescription food, it will be my responsibility to provide such food during my pet's stay. If I do not bring it with me and the hospital is able to supply it, the appropriate charge will be added to my bill. If no special diet requirements exist, all boarded pets will receive a high-quality maintenance type diet. If my pet refuses to eat their own diet or the kennel diet, we will call you to let you know and we will also supplement with whatever types of foods we deem appropriate to make sure your pet is eating during their stay. There may be additional charges associated with this if we are using a prescription diet from our shelves.

  • Upper Respiratory Infection

  • I know my pet is healthy and not coughing, gagging or sneezing and is free of nasal discharge associated with infection. I also know my pet has not been around any other pet who was showing these symptoms in the last 2 weeks. I understand that Hanover Veterinary Hospital reserves the right to refuse to board patients who are coughing or showing signs of upper respiratory infection.

  • Fleas

  • Dogs and cats showing evidence of fleas at the time of check-in will be given a dose of Capstar and a 30-day topical product will be applied. This will be done at my expense.

  • Stress Related Illnesses

  • I understand that although Hanover makes every effort to keep my pet happy, healthy and safe while in our care, boarding is by nature stressful to my pet. Pets placed in stressful situations may experience decreased immunity or gastric changes which vaccines do not prevent. All boarded pets may be susceptible to sore throat, voice changes, canine cough, diarrhea, constipation, excessive grooming and shedding and self-inflicted injuries such as nail problems from digging, nose rubbing, teeth injuries, etc. By signing this waiver, I agree that Hanover Veterinary Hospital will not be held responsible for these conditions or associated costs.
    ***I understand that boarding can be particularly stressful on my senior pet and that any unknown preexisting problems can be aggravated by stress and anxiety.

  • Personal Items

  • I understand that any personal effects I bring to make my pet feel more comfortable must be marked with my name and my pets name. Hanover makes every attempt to track and care for all belongings, but I will not hold them responsible for any items left with my pet and understand that return cannot be guaranteed.

  • Pet Temperament

  • Drop off/Pick up times

  • My pet must be dropped off and picked up within an hour of the hospital closing.
    Mon-Thurs: pick-up/drop off by 6pm
    Friday: pick up/drop off by 5pm
    Saturday: pick up/drop off by 1pm
    Sunday: no pick up or drop off
    If I am unable to pick up my pet by the designated time, I understand that I will be charged an additional night of boarding.

  • Medications and Supplements

  • Medical Emergencies/Sickness/Loss

  • In the event of an emergency or if your pet becomes sick, we will attempt to contact you. If we cannot contact you, we ask that you provide an emergency contact who can make medical decisions for your pet. If we cannot contact you or your emergency contacts or in the event an emergency occurs, you give permission for the doctors and staff at Hanover Veterinary Hospital to provide whatever medical and/or surgical treatment is necessary to ensure your pet is not experiencing any pain or suffering and that you agree to accept responsibility for all fees.
