PLEASE READ THIS CONTRACT CAREFULLY

This contract contains the sole and exclusive terms and conditions under which you, the undersigned, have entrusted your pet to board with Woodland Veterinary Hospital, Inc., a California Corporation (hereinafter the boarding sub-entity to be designated as the “Woodland Pet Hotel”). By signing this agreement and leaving your pet with Woodland Pet Hotel, you certify to the accuracy of all information provided in writing or orally about your pet.

I, the undersigned, hereby represent and warrant to Woodland Pet Hotel the following:

Pet Species & Breed

I certify that my pet is current on all vaccines and affirm that I am responsible for providing proof thereof. Vaccines required for dogs are Rabies, DHPP, Bordetella, and Influenza.

I, the undersigned, represent and warrant to the Woodland Pet Hotel, that I am the pet’s owner or authorized agent of the owner and have full authority to enter into this contract; that my pet is in good health; to the best of my knowledge has not had or been exposed to communicable diseases within the last 30 days prior to entrusting her/him with the Pet Hotel; or he/she has had such a disease but has been symptom-free for at least seven days and/or has a veterinarian’s clearance, and is not known to be aggressive to other animals or humans. I further warrant and represent that my pet is not prone to any particular types of sickness or injuries, except as described on the PET HOTEL CHECK-IN sheet.

SERVICES AND CARE PROVIDED TO BOARDING PETS

MEDICAL CARE IS AVAILABLE BY THE WOODLAND VETERINARY HOSPITAL STAFF BUT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE NORMAL BOARDING FEES OR SERVICE PROVIDED BY THE PET HOTEL STAFF. DUE AND REASONABLE CARE IS MADE TO MAINTAIN THE OPTIMAL HEALTH AND COMFORT OF YOUR PET, BUT ILLNESS OR INJURY CAN OCCUR.

Please review #2 below and indicate your desire in the event your pet becomes ill and we cannot reach you.

Please accept/decline the following terms of agreement:

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 exercises 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 to contract 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 mix animals who may have no history 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 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.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

1. Parole Evidence Rule – The above constitutes the entire contract between these parties and neither party is relying on any written or oral statements not contained herein. This contract may be modified in writing signed by both parties only and by no other means.
2. Jurisdiction and Venue – This contract is entered into in the County of Yolo, State of California and shall be enforced only in said county and state and under the laws of the state of California.
3. Limitation on Damages – In any dispute arising under this Contract claiming an injury or death to any animal or person there shall be no punitive damages awarded, no damages for emotional distress, and any damages for the injury or loss of an animal’s life shall be calculated on the fair market utilitarian value of the animal in keeping with California law as of the date of the making of this contract.
4. Abandonment – Any animal left at Woodland Pet Hotel for longer than 14 days past the scheduled pick-up date is grounds for determining that you have abandoned your pet.
