Emergencies: In the event that a pet emergency arises, we will take your pet to the appropriate veterinarian that you chose on the Veterinary Authorization form, or to an appropriate facility that is available. You will be notified as soon as possible in case of any emergency. If in the event you are out of reach, your emergency contact will be notified.
Owners Property: It is the pet owner’s sole responsibility to “pet-proof” any areas of the home and/or property to which the pet has access. This includes thoroughly inspecting fences, gates, latches, door and other devices meant to contain the pet or restrict access to specific areas.
