As the Owner / Guardian of the dog named and described in the Registration/Booking form, I have read and agreed to the Terms and Conditions below, and agree to the following:

• I agree that if my dog requires veterinary treatment, I will rely on the judgement of the Owners/Proprietors of Heathcote Boarding Kennels to take the dog for treatment to the nearest open veterinary clinic without the need to contact me first, and note that the owners of Heathcote Boarding Kennels will contact me (or my nominated contact person) as soon as practical after this has occurred.
• In the instance whereby my dog may require veterinary treatment, I hereby agree that I am liable for all expenses incurred in such instances, plus mileage costs of $0.50c per kilometre, and that these costs will be paid in full at the end of the boarding period.
