AUTHORIZATION

I am the owner of the animal seeking behavioral medicine treatment from Gold Coast Center for Veterinary Care. Behavioral treatment, training, and advice, when properly maintained after completion, can be very helpful in resolving problem behaviors in animals. Because each pet is an individual, no guarantee or assurance can be made as to the results that may be obtained. Animal behavior, including aggression, is unpredictable and will remain unpredictable after its treatment. Gold Coast Center for Veterinary Care cannot promise that the animal’s behavior service treatment, training or advice will completely eliminate the animals potential danger to persons or completely control the animal’s aggressiveness.

I am bringing my pet to this appointment with a full knowledge of these risks and understand and accept the liability that is inherent in owning a pet who has shown aggressive behavior.

I understand that all fees are to be paid at the time of service and accept full responsibility for the charges incurred in the treatment of my pet.

Telehealth appointments may be recorded for internal training only.
