You also accept our policies, procedures, and requirements may change and adapt to future needs and requirements of PFDD. 1) I represent to PFDD that I am the owner of the dog(s) and that I am fully authorized to enter into this Agreement. All the information about me and my dog(s) in this Agreement is true, accurate and complete. I understand that PFDD relies on the accuracy of the information that I have provided. 2) From time to time, policy and procedure updates may occur; it is my responsibility to check for changes and updates. Updated versions of policy, procedure, protocol, and agreements are always viewable on the PFDD website. I may be required to re-sign contracts periodically. 3) Proof of vaccinations must be provided on veterinarian letterhead confirming my dog(s) is current on Rabies, DHLPP, and Bordetella vaccinations.

I must show proof of a negative fecal result, including negative Giardia panel, within one month of my dogs' hotel stay and within one month prior to starting daycare. Negative fecal tests are required every 12 months to continue services. 4) PFDD does NOT accept self-administered, or breeder administered vaccinations. PFDD does accept titers. It is my responsibility to provide up to date vaccinations to PFDD. 5) PFDD reserves the right to refuse to accept a dog at Check-In for any reason, including without limitation, if it appears that the dog is sick, injured, in pain, or that its behavior could jeopardize the health or safety of other dogs or our staff. No dog can stay with us unless the dog is healthy, and we have confirmation from a licensed veterinarian that the dog has received all vaccinations required by PFDD. 6) To the best of my knowledge, my dog(s) has no illness, injury, or behavior problem (including aggressive or biting behavior) that has not been disclosed to PFDD in writing. 7) To the best of my knowledge, my dog(s) has not been exposed to rabies, distemper, or parvovirus within 30 days prior to being left for boarding, daycare, training, grooming or any event hosted by PFDD. 8) If my dog(s) has been treated for a contagious illness, PFDD cannot accept my dog for at least two (2) weeks after treatment has been completed and a statement of health is obtained from a licensed veterinarian. 9) I further agree not to bring my dog to PFDD if my dog is exhibiting any signs of illness that may be harmful to other dogs. Such signs of illness include, but are not limited to: vomiting, diarrhea, mange, kennel cough, extreme lethargy and red eyes. 10) All dogs coming into PFDD are required to be vaccinated. However, it is still possible for my dog to become ill, even if vaccinated. This is not due to any circumstance or condition at PFDD, and I agree that PFDD is not liable for any illness suffered by my dog(s) during or after its stay, including but not limited to Bordetella (Canine Cough). 11) If my dog is prescribed medication between the time a reservation is made for a service and the time at which my dog checks in to PFDD for said service, I must provide written approval from the treating veterinarian clearing my dog to be in the facility. PFDD has the right to refuse services to dogs that come in on medication for acute medical conditions without clearance from a veterinary. PFDD’s refund policy will apply. 12) I agree that it is my responsibility to inform and educate all family members that will be involved with bringing my dog(s) into the facility for services to: know, understand and acknowledge all provisions of this agreement as well as all rules, regulations, policies and procedures of PFDD. 13) I agree to provide PFDD with an emergency contact.

I agree to pay such veterinarian expenses immediately upon demand. 33) I agree that PFDD’s liability, for any reason, shall in no event exceed the fair market value of my dog.
