It, also, allows immediate access to the vascular system in case of an emergency.

I am mindful that during the operation/procedure, unforeseen conditions may arise that may require the performance of additional procedures deemed necessary by the veterinarian. I am encouraged to discuss any concerns I have about these risks with the attending veterinarian before the procedure is initiated.*

I have read and agree

In the event your pet should experience cardiac or respiratory arrest while being hospitalized today, do you give consent for resuscitative efforts to be initiated until you can be contacted further and notified of your pet’s status? By consenting to this service, you are also acknowledging that certain fees will apply. If you are not able to be contacted immediately, resuscitative efforts will continue to be performed at the doctor’s discretion.*

I agree to CPR being performed in case of arrest.

I elect a “Do Not Resuscitate” status in case of arrest.

For the safety of your pet and others, we ask that all animals coming into the building be restrained by a leash or in a carrier upon arrival. Those individuals without proper restraint may request assistance upon arrival.

The client has received a written estimate and has had the opportunity to review the estimate and ask any questions or express concerns, and that their questions have been answered to their satisfaction, and they agree to the amount of the estimate given.

We try our best to provide the most accurate estimate, occasionally unforeseen circumstances may arise that may result in additional fees
