Thank you for taking a moment of your time to fill out this boarding agreement. Our goal is to provide a happy and healthy environment for our patients. In keeping with that, goal we require that all patients be current on their vaccinations (Rabies/Distemper/Bordatella/Yearly Fecal) and free of all external and internal parasites before staying with us. Please note that our fees are based on a daily rate.

If your pet(s) are on any medications and/or special diets, please list below and include the treatment schedule. If it is necessary for us to dispense supplies of any sort during your pet’s stay, you will be responsible for any corresponding fees. Please choose one of the following:

Revisions to Boarding
Northwest Animal Hospital will no longer be accepting any personal items such as toys, blankets, beds, etc. Due to the nature of housing animals, personal items are often inadvertently lost, discarded, or damaged and their return home is not guaranteed. Please do not leave any leashes or collars. During your pets stay only hospital issue and approved leashes will be used.

Aggressive Pet Boarding Protocol
For our purposes, we are defining “aggressive” as any patient that attempts to lunge and/or bite an individual or other animal with the probable intention of doing harm. We would encourage all owners of aggressive pets to find an alternative to boarding their pets in a boarding facility, such as leaving the pet at home with a caretaker or taking him or her with you. We understand that circumstances do not always allow for these solutions. If any patient is deemed aggressive at the time of boarding admission or anytime thereafter, he or she will be categorized as an “aggressive pet”. The fee to board such pets is double that of our normal boarding fees per day. The nature of such pets will not allow us to extend grooming procedures to them, and we will not guarantee the condition of these pets upon the owner’s return.

General Information
*We are not staffed 24 hours a day; therefore, your pet(s) will be unattended during non-business hours.
*All animals must be free of external parasites and internal parasites when admitted for boarding, or must be treated, at owner’s expense.
*All precautions will be taken to prevent injury, escape, or other life-threatening emergencies. We will not be held accountable for problems that develop, provided that reasonable care and precautionary measures have been taken.
