Thank you for choosing Dames Point Animal Hospital to care for your pet while you are away. In an effort to make sure your pet(s) has the best possible care, please review and initial the items below to acknowledge informed consent.*

For your pet and other pets’ safety, it is our policy that any animals left in our boarding care have been vaccinated against the following:

  • Felines: Rabies, Distemper, Current Negative Fecal Test
  • Canines: Rabies, Distemper/Parvo, Bordetella, Lepto, Current Negative Fecal Test

All canine boarders will receive a bath prior to discharge at the owner’s expense if boarded over 24 hours. The bath includes shampoo, blow dry, nail trim, and basic ear cleaning.

All boarders must be free of external (fleas/ticks) and internal parasites (signs are diarrhea/vomiting). If either is noticed during your pet’s stay with us, we will treat as necessary at your expense.

Please notify us at drop-off if your pet has a tendency to chew or eat foreign objects such as blankets, sticks, etc.

All canine boarders are walked three times a day in a fenced-in area. Please notify us if your pet is capable of special tricks such as opening gates, digging, or jumping fences.

Our staff is on premises Monday through Friday, 7:30 am to 5:00 pm. On Saturday and Sunday, our staff is present to care for boarding and hospitalized pets.
We do not have a staff member on premises 24 hours a day.

If your pet becomes ill during his/her stay, the veterinarian will examine the pet and administer the appropriate treatment at your expense. If the condition is life-threatening, we will attempt to contact you at your emergency number.

If your pet receives special medications, we will administer these medications as prescribed. There is an additional daily fee for this.

Please note that all medications MUST be in their original bottles with a prescription label so that we can safely administer them to your pet.

*This authorization will remain in place for one year from the above date unless otherwise noted by the owner.
