General Consent Waiver
Please read and answer
General liability
I understand that every animal behaves differently out of his/her home environment, when interacting with other animals/people, and/or while being groomed. By signing below I acknowledge that any injury to my pet caused by other animals or any injury caused to humans or other animals by my pet while using ALC’s services are my own responsibility. I understand that if my dog is engaging in group play through ALC’s daycare or boarding services, scratches, scrapes and play-related bite marks are possible and that after-care, including any vet visits, is solely my responsibility. I further affirm that I will always inform ALC of any unusual difficulties or conditions my pet may be experiencing prior to service being rendered.

I am aware that my dog must be up-to-date on rabies, distemper (dhpp) and bordatella
vaccinations, and that cats must be current on rabies unless he/she is medically exempt. I understand that my dog may still develop contagious illness such as cold/flu or gastrointestinal viruses due to socialization even if he/she is vaccinated.

We reserve the right to charge additional fees for services we consider above the norm covered by our standard rates. We also reserve the right to refuse service to customers whose pet may pose a threat to us or to the other pets left in our care, whether it be a behavioral or health concern. I agree to be responsible for any property damages by my pet.
Grooming
I understand that while grooming is a skilled profession and ALC will make every effort to provide a gentle, injury-free groom, if my pet should react suddenly while sharp objects are in use, there is a risk of nicks, cuts, or other injury. I authorize ALC to seek medical attention immediately if the situation permits. ALC will not be held responsible for clipperburn and/or minor nicks resulting from grooming of matted, neglected coats or for irritation caused by removing coat from pets possessing skin allergies, nor will we be held responsible for stressful effects grooming may have.

I understand that the cost of grooming is dependent on my pet’s coat condition, behavior, breed/size, and required length of work hours and that any cost estimate given to me is an estimate only.
Cancellation and No-shows
We love spending time with your dog. It's fun! When someone doesn't show up for their appointment, it’s not fun. Our staff is booked by appointment, and it prevents us from booking other customers. Clients who do not show up or cancel with less than fair notice will be responsible for the following fees:

Dog Walking: less than 12 hrs notice: full amount agreed in writing

Grooming: less than 24 hrs notice: $50.00, No-Show: Full groom amount

Boarding: less than 72 hrs (3 days) notice, full day amount ($65, $75, or $80)    

I understand the cancellation policy and will be responsible for payment of the fees occurring due to cancellation.

If any provision, section, subsection, clause or phrase of this release is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that portion shall be severed from this contract. The remainder of this contract will then be construed as though the unenforceable portion had never been contained in this document.
