Service Agreement

 

  • I authorize LUCY’S DOGGY DAY CARE AND SPA to allow my dog(s) to engage in social play with other dogs. In doing so, I understand my dog(s) may become injured by interacting with other dogs. I also understand that LUCY’S DOGGY DAY CARE AND SPA has evaluated the personalities of all dogs engaged in play, will supervise the playtimes, and will use reasonable care to ensure that no injuries result. However, in the event that an injury does occur to my dog(s) during group play, I agree to hold LUCY’S DOGGY DAY CARE AND SPA harmless from damages resulting from such injury. I agree to pay all veterinary charges required to properly treat my dog(s) for such injury.
  • I understand that due to the excessive running and playing outdoors, my dog’s paws/pads may be sensitive & tender as a result from worn pads. If your dog is an indoor dog, please communicate this so we can watch for sensitive pads.
  • All dogs are boarded, groomed or otherwise cared for by LUCY’S DOGGY DAY CARE AND SPA, without liability on its part for loss or damage by or from disease, death, running away, theft, fire or injury to persons, other dogs, or property by or to said dog(s), or other unavoidable causes, due diligence and care having been exercised.
  • I understand that all dogs at LUCY’S DOGGY DAY CARE AND SPA are vaccinated and healthy, but that there are viruses (e.g., colds, Bordetella, Conjunctivitis and Papilloma Virus) that cannot be fully vaccinated against and that in a social setting such as day care, my dog may be exposed to such.
  • If your dog requires medical attention while in the care of LUCY’S DOGGY DAY CARE AND SPA, you agree to be solely responsible for the payment of all medical bills for your dog and you release LUCY’S DOGGY DAY CARE AND SPA, its officers and employees from any and all responsibility for, or claims, damages, debts, resulting from such medical care, including but not limited to, transportation to/from the veterinarian clinic and choice of veterinarian or animal hospital.
  • Any dogs showing signs of extreme lethargy or signs of heat stress will be taken to the veterinarian immediately even if we are unable to contact you first.
  • Dogs that are heartworm positive or undergoing heartworm treatment are not permitted for any services. Once the treatment for heartworms is complete, veterinary recommendation is to wait 6 months before testing for heartworms to avoid a false positive. Once your pup is heartworm negative, they are permitted to use services at Lucy’s.
  • Due to our primary concern with each dog’s health and safety, dogs with and not limited to the following health conditions are not eligible for boarding or daycare at Lucy’s and are recommended to board with a veterinary hospital for specialized care: seizures, diabetes, incontinence, kennel cough/respiratory infection, pneumonia, papilloma, conjunctivitis, history of strokes, intestinal parasites, dogs who are immobile/wheelchair bound and dogs currently undergoing chemotherapy. (I understand that Lucy’s Doggy Daycare & Spa reserves the right to keep my dog(s) out of interactive daycare due to health reasons that may not be listed.)
  • I understand that boarding, interactive daycare, and grooming may cause stress to my dog(s). This could lead to stress induced diarrhea/vomiting, commonly known as “stress colitis”. I do not hold Lucy’s Doggy Daycare & Spa liable for this occurrence.
  • During interactive outdoor play, my dog may be exposed to insects such as ants, bee’s, or wasp’s. I give Lucy’s Doggy Daycare & Spa consent to take my dog to a veterinarian to treat my dog(s) at the owner’s expense if my dog(s) ingest or get stung by said insect.
