1. Inherent Risks of Play, Bathing. I understand that Academy Kennels Pet Resort is an open-play environment and because of this there are inherent risks, which even when closely monitored, may result in the following:
a. Transfer of communicable parasites or an illness such as, but not limited to, the canine papilloma virus also known as “puppy warts,” or an upper respiratory illness like Kennel Cough, which can be caused by a contagious bacteria or virus.
b. Injuries, usually benign, such as broken nails, sore pads, puncture wounds, abrasions and cuts, particularly in shorter coated breeds, etc.
c. Behavioral problems.

I also understand that if my pet(s) has/have bathing services, my pet(s) is/are at inherent risk for skin irritation, shampoo in eyes, risk of cuts, nicks, scratches, cutting of the nail quick, etc.

2. Pet Health Issues While at Academy Kennels Pet Resort. If health or behavioral problems develop with my pet(s), that these will be treated as deemed best by the staff of Academy Kennels Pet Resort within their sole discretion, and that I assume full financial responsibility for any and all expenses involved. If my pet(s) become(s) ill or injured, or is suspected to be ill or injured, or if for any other reason veterinary care is indicated, I authorize Academy Kennels Pet Resort to seek and provide veterinary care from my designated veterinarian or a veterinarian of their choice. If my pet’s condition is emergent, I understand Academy Kennels Pet Resort will seek care at Lighthouse Pet Clinic or, if not within operating hours, Specialized Veterinary Services. During my absence, Academy Kennels Pet Resort will be caring for my pet. In the event of an emergency, I authorize the release of all medical records pertaining to the medical needs of my pet(s) to The B.C.CHASE Company and all subsidiaries. I give representatives of Academy Kennels Pet Resort authorization to communicate with said veterinarian regarding, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of my pet(s).
a In the rare and unfortunate event that my pet becomes deceased while in Academy Kennels Pet Resort’s care, my pet will be taken to my designated veterinarian and maintained for pick-up or further instruction. If a necropsy is performed, I give permission for the veterinarian to release any and all findings to The B.C.CHASE Company and all subsidiaries. 

3. Liability Release. Academy Kennels Pet Resort and their team will not be liable for any health or behavioral problems that develop in my pet(s), and I hereby release them of any liability of any kind whatsoever arising from my pet(s) attendance and participation at Academy Kennels Pet Resort. I am solely responsible for any harm, including to any other pet(s), to the employees or invitees of Academy Kennels Pet Resort, or to the equipment, physical plant, or other property of Academy Kennels Pet Resort, caused by my pet(s) while my pet(s) is/are attending Academy Kennels Pet Resort.

4. Preventative Maintenance Commitment. I agree to maintain regular flea, tick, and heartworm preventative maintenance programs for as long as my pet(s) has/have active attendance and participation at Academy Kennels Pet Resort.
