I consent to any veterinarian being retained to render care for my dog.
I understand that with overnight care there is a potential my dog will be interacting with people and other dogs. As always, with the interaction of dogs, there is a chance of injury. I assume all risk of injury to my dog while in the care of Kim’s Pet Care or in transportation to any veterinarian clinic, so long as reasonable care is taken to prevent any unnecessary injury, death, or loss.

There is always a risk that my dog may contract a contagious condition. I agree to not hold Kim’s Pet Care and its Care Providers liable.
By bringing my dog to Kim’s Pet Care for boarding, I agree not to file any legal charges, demands, or claims against Kim’s Pet Care and/or its owners, employees, officers, directors and agents for any injury, illness, death, or loss of my dog. I hereby waive and release Kim’s Pet Care from any and all liability of any nature for any injury, death or loss of my dog resulting from their actions or from the action of my dog or any other dog while in the custody of, or on the grounds or surrounding area of Kim’s Pet Care. If a life-threatening injury or death occurs, Kim’s Pet Care will notify me immediately to receive specific instructions on how to proceed or to advise me that my dog is being taken to its veterinarian on file.
In the event my dog causes injury to another dog or to a person while at Kim’s Pet Care, I agree to indemnify and subrogate Kim’s Pet Care from any action which may be brought against them, and for any defense, settlement, or judgment against them. I will assume all liability for the actions of my dog and agree to maintain personal liability insurance to cover me in the event of such an incident.
