Boarding Contract Form

We’re excited to welcome your pet to the Woodland Veterinary Hospital Pet Hotel. Our Boarding Contract Form helps our team gather important information about your pet’s feeding routine, medications, emergency contacts, medical needs, and boarding preferences before their stay.

What Happens After Submission?

Once your Boarding Contract Form is submitted, our team will review your pet’s information prior to check-in. If additional details are needed regarding medications, feeding instructions, vaccinations, or boarding accommodations, we’ll contact you directly to follow up.

Please note that submitting this form does not automatically confirm your pet’s boarding reservation unless one has already been scheduled with our team.

Need Immediate Assistance?

If your pet is experiencing a medical emergency or requires urgent veterinary attention prior to boarding, please call Woodland Veterinary Hospital directly at (530) 666-2461 instead of using this form. Our team can help determine the most appropriate next steps for your pet’s care. See our Pet Urgent & Emergency Care page for more information.

Assumption of Risk

Boarding in a kennel and in close proximity to other animals can be stressful for pets, can potentially allow exposure to communicable diseases, and can increase the risk of illness or injury. The Pet Hotel and Veterinary Hospital staff exercise due and reasonable care to minimize stress and exposure to harmful agents. Disinfection protocols and mandatory vaccination do not guarantee protection, nor do they protect against all communicable diseases that may affect a pet. Pets in stressful situations such as a kennel are also at increased risk of contracting illnesses without exposure to an infectious agent on these premises. As the undersigned, I acknowledge and agree to assume all risk of illness, disease, injury, harm or otherwise to my pet during his/her stay at Woodland Pet Hotel.

I, the undersigned, expressly assume the risk of these and other conditions and diseases and waive any right to bring a claim against Woodland Pet Hotel/Veterinary Hospital, its employees, officers, principals, agents, invitees, guests, insurers and their successors in interest.

I, the undersigned, am hereby warned that if group playtime is selected as part of my pet’s stay, that there is a degree of risk to mixing animals who may have no history of mixing with others or with these particular animals. Woodland Pet Hotel attempts to minimize this risk by screening pets that may be prone to act aggressively or cause injury, but cannot guarantee against adverse consequences. These risks include, but are not limited to, contracting diseases, wounds, bites, other injuries or conditions, etc.

Indemnification of Woodland Pet Hotel

I hereby assume all responsibility for my pet while he/she is in the custody of Woodland Pet Hotel, indemnify and hold Woodland Pet Hotel, its employees, officers, principals, agents, invitees, guests, insurers and their successors in interest harmless including the cost of defense including attorney’s fees for the breach of any of the above warranties and representations by me, any damages or injuries caused by my pet to any other person, animal, and/or property; and/or any injury to my pet from any cause whatsoever, except for the gross negligence or willful conduct of Woodland Pet Hotel/Woodland Veterinary Hospital. I further agree to be solely responsible for any and all acts of behavior of said pet while in the care of the Pet Hotel/Veterinary Hospital, including costs for injury to staff or other animals, or damage to facilities caused by the pet.
