I agree to pay for all costs of such treatment immediately upon demand by the Company.

I shall provide the Company with enough food to feed my dog during his/her entire boarding period with the Company. If the Company needs to replace this food during my dog’s boarding period, I authorize the Company to purchase replacement food of the same type, if it is reasonably available for purchase, or it is not reasonably available, the Company may purchase a similar type of food. I agree to reimburse the Company for all costs of such food immediately upon demand by the Company.

I understand that there are certain risks inherent in leaving my dog in the custody of the Company, including illness, injury, pregnancy, or even death. Furthermore, I understand that the Company has a chain link and vinyl fences that are six feet tall, and certain dogs can jump over or climb over a fence of this type. I agree that if my dog becomes ill, injured, or pregnant, or if my dog escapes or dies while in the custody and care of the Company, the Company shall not be liable for such illness, injury, pregnancy, or death unless caused by the Company’s willful misconduct or gross negligent acts or omissions.

I shall reimburse the Company immediately upon demand by it for any costs that it incurs as a result of the behavior of my dog. Furthermore, I agree to indemnify the Company and its shareholders, officers, directors, employees, successors, assigns, and heirs, and hold them harmless as to any costs, damages or legal expenses incurred in the defense of any and all personal injury or other claims, including claims for negligence, brought by a third party arising from or related to my actions or the actions of my dog while on the premises of, or in the custody of, the Company.

The Company is not responsible for any loss of or damage to personal property that I leave with the Company.

If my dog dies while in the custody of the Company, the Company will use reasonable efforts to notify me as soon as possible.

The Company may decide whether or not an autopsy should be conducted. I shall pay such veterinarian expenses immediately upon demand.

If I abandon my dog with the Company, the Company may bring it to a dog shelter of its choice.

The Company shall exercise reasonable care for my dog while my dog is in the Company’s custody. I recognize the potential risks involved with group play, dog daycare, boarding, training, and other events.

I understand the risks of injury include but are not limited to, scratches, minor cuts, bite marks, open wounds, major injury or even death. I have determined that the benefits of these activities outweigh the risks. The Company reserves the right to refuse to provide daycare, boarding and/or training services to my dog for any reason or no reason at all.

I represent to the Company that my dog has not been exposed to rabies, distemper or any other contagious or communicable disease in the thirty (30) day period prior to being left for boarding, daycare, training, or any event hosted by the Company. I agree to notify the Company if my dog is exposed to any virus, infection or other transferable illness. I further agree that I will not bring my dog to the Company unless and until my dog is free of any symptoms of illness for a reasonable period determined by a licensed veterinarian. I further agree not to bring my dog to the Company if my dog is exhibiting any signs of illness that may be harmful to other dogs. Such signs of illness include, but are not limited to vomiting, diarrhea, extreme lethargy, and red eyes.

I represent that I am the sole owner of my dog, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.

All charges incurred by me shall be paid upon pick-up of my dog or immediately upon receipt when billed by the Company to my current address. I further agree that the Company shall have the right to refuse to release my dog to me until I have paid all charges due.
