Using it well

Small habits that make it worth the paper.

Set the spending limit

The single most useful line. If a boarder gets sick at night, the team can act without waiting to reach an owner on holiday.

Check vaccines at the door

Ask for proof at booking, not at check-in. It avoids turning a pet away on the morning of a flight.

State your abandonment terms

Rules on unclaimed animals vary by state. Write your practice’s policy, approved by your attorney, into the terms line.

Questions about
this form.

Printing, editing, and what the form does and doesn’t cover.

What should a pet boarding agreement include?+

Dates of the stay, owner and emergency contacts, vaccine requirements, permission and a spending limit for veterinary care, fees and pick-up times, and what happens if the pet is not collected.

Why does the form ask for a spending limit?+

If a pet becomes ill while the owner cannot be reached, the limit lets staff treat it right away. Above that amount, the team keeps trying to reach the owner.

Is this the same as the boarding check-in form?+

No. This is the agreement: permissions, fees, and terms. The check-in form records food, medications, and belongings for the stay. Many clinics use both.

What vaccines are usually required for boarding?+

Commonly rabies and distemper/parvo for dogs, often Bordetella, and rabies and FVRCP for cats. Requirements vary by facility; list yours on the form.
