Please initial after reading the following text: I understand that every patient has a different threshold for pain.

In the event of an unforeseen emergency, we will attempt to reach you without delay. Please know that we will take every precaution to ensure that your pet is safe and healthy enough to undergo their procedures today. Any known risks will be discussed with you. However, very rarely, emergencies do happen, and we want to know your preference if no one can be reached. Please check your preference: *

Please proceed with life-saving measures. I will accept responsibility for all costs incurred.
Please do not proceed with life-saving measures. I accept responsibility for this decision and understand that severe complications up to and including death could occur if life-saving measures are not used.

Our greatest concern is the well-being of your pet. Before any anesthesia is administered, we will perform a complete pre-anesthetic examination to identify existing medical conditions that could complicate the procedure and compromise your pet’s health. There is always the possibility that a pre-anesthetic exam alone will not identify all health problems. This is why blood testing is required prior to anesthesia. I (or an agent acting on the owner’s behalf) hereby authorize Andover Animal Hospital (or its agents or whomsoever is designated) to perform the above procedure. I understand that there are inherent risks with anesthesia and that a guarantee of a successful outcome cannot be made. These risks have been explained to me as completely as possible within reason. I also understand that Andover Animal Hospital will do their best to minimize these risks through pre-anesthetic blood testing, using the most appropriate and safest anesthetics available, and using state-of-the-art monitoring equipment. Furthermore, I agree to pay the fees for all services rendered at the time the pet is discharged from the hospital. Please sign, recognizing that you have read and understood the risks.

I have been informed that all surgical patients must be picked up prior to the end of the business day. If unforeseen circumstances require me to arrive to pick up my pet after hours, I will notify Andover Animal Hospital immediately. I understand that if my pet has not been picked up prior to the end of the business day and I have not made any attempts to communicate with Andover Animal Hospital, my pet may be hospitalized overnight. I understand that there are no employees here overnight to monitor my pet. *
