PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Your dog will be staying at a working kennel and not living in a padded room. Your dog spends a good amount of time in the outside world doing lots of things around lots of natural objects, dirt, grass, cement, trees, fencing, bushes, swimming, interacting with lots of other dogs, and humans. It is likely that your dog is going to get scratched, bumped, or bruised. Your dog will most likely get some wear and tear on him/her. Things are bound to happen even though we have taken special care in designing our facility and maintaining a high standard of safety and cleanliness.

As Owner, you acknowledge and understand that there are certain risks involved in pet training, boarding, and care. You release, indemnify, and agree to hold Jay’s K9 Universe harmless from any and all manner of damages, claims, loss, liabilities, costs or expenses, causes of actions or suits, whatsoever in law or equity, (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and related costs) arising out of or related to the services provided by Jay’s K9 Universe.

HEALTH

All dogs in our care are required to be up-to-date on the following vaccines and preventatives: Rabies, Distemper, Bordatella, (optional) Canine Influenza, Heartworm, and Flea & Tick. Preventatives and any medications will be administered when necessary. I understand that by allowing my dog to be trained, socialized and worked at Jay’s K9 Universe around and with other dogs that my dog may contract Kennel Cough (URI) which is a highly contagious upper respiratory disease. I understand that even though my dog is vaccinated it is still possible for my dog to be infected. I agree to educate myself on exactly what kennel cough is so that I am fully aware of the risks involved in allowing my dog to be socialized with/in the vicinity of other dogs. I agree that I am fully responsible for any medical bills resulting from my dog contracting kennel cough or any other illness.
