**NEW POLICY** PLEASE READ:
Effective immediately, I, the undersigned owner or designated agent, am aware that if my pet is responsible to any property that is damaged at Chatfield Veterinary Hospital, I will be charged a flat $100.00 fee for repairs no matter the cost of damages. The list of property damages includes but is not limited to the following:
1.) Kennels and/or suites that my pet will stay in
2.) Bedding and/or beds that are provided by Chatfield Veterinary Hospital
I, the undersigned owner or designated agent, hereby authorize Chatfield Veterinary Hospital (hereinafter “Hospital) to board my pet during the dates listed above. I also hereby authorize the Hospital to perform the services indicated below while my pet is boarding. The Hospital will attempt to notify owner if the pet becomes ill while boarding. If owner does not inform the Hospital otherwise regarding measures to be taken, or if the state of the animal’s health reasonably demands quick action in the opinion of the veterinarian, the Hospital will administer medical and/or surgical treatment as needed, for which the owner is financially responsible, until the owner can be notified.
As the owner of said animal, I realize that I am responsible for boarding fees and any associated costs, and for the payment of services listed below, and that they are to be paid in full at the time the animal is discharged. If I do not pick up the animal within five (5) days of the scheduled pick-day date, the Hospital will assume the animals is abandoned. If the animal is abandoned, the Hospital is authorized to remedy the abandonment as prescribed by law. I further understand that abandonment DOES NOT release me of my financial obligation for services rendered, fees associated with abandonment, collection action, and/or legal services.
I understand that leaving personal belongings (blankets, toys, carriers, etc.) with my pet while boarding is discouraged but, should I choose to do so, Chatfield Veterinary Hospital is not held responsible for lost items. I understand and acknowledge that Chatfield Veterinary Hospital is not staffed 24 hours a day.
