Boarding Release Form

Lakewood Forest Veterinary Hospital is pleased to have your pet board with us. Boarding is conditional upon your reading, understanding, and agreeing to the terms and conditions explained below. Please inquire with our staff if there is anything you do not understand or for which you would like further clarification on.

• In the event of an emergency, I understand that the staff of Lakewood Forest Veterinary Hospital will attempt to contact me at the phone number(s) I have provided, and in the event that I cannot be reached, I give permission for Lakewood Forest Veterinary Hospital to take all necessary precautions to treat my pet(s) in any manner deemed necessary for their health and well-being. I understand and agree that I am responsible for paying for all related expenses associated with the treatment of my pet until I am available to discuss further care and costs with the attending veterinarian.
• I give permission also, to the staff, to take my animal to BluePearl Pet Emergency Hospital in the event that an emergency occurs and a Lakewood Forest Veterinary Hospital veterinarian cannot be reached. I will also assume responsibility for all payments owed to the emergency clinic in the case this should happen.
• I understand that the staff of Lakewood Forest Veterinary Hospital are to use all reasonable precautions against illness, injury, or escape of my pet(s), but they will not be held liable for, or responsible in any manner whatsoever, under any circumstances, on account of the care, treatment, or safekeeping of my pet(s), as it is thoroughly understood that I assume all risks.
• Should the circumstances arise that my pet(s) remain unclaimed after the date which I have stated as the pick-up date, I understand that a written notice will be mailed. Seven days after such written notice, the pet(s) will be considered abandoned. It is further understood that such action will not relieve me from paying ALL costs of service and the use of our hospital, including the cost of boarding.
