The medical and surgical treatment required for my pet has been described and explained to me. I consent and authorize Vet Partners, their respective owners, agents, and employees to receive, sedate, treat and/or operate on my pet as directed below. I understand that many pets require sedation before a thorough oral examination can be completed. The condition of each tooth must be evaluated before a decision is made as to the best course of treatment. Sometimes it is impossible to give an accurate estimate as to the cost of extraction before sedation. I understand that completing all needed dental procedures during the initial visit and sedation rather than is more economical for my pet. Accordingly:

In addition to the treatment my pet receives today, other care may be required, especially, but not solely, in the presence of an emergency. I authorize Vet Partners, their agents and employees to conduct additional treatments and operations, tests, or injections that may be, in the judgment of Vet Partners or any employees of the clinic, considered advisable or necessary at the time the contemplated treatment or operation is being performed.

I understand that sedation, anesthesia, and all medical treatment involves risk to my pet. Vet Partners, their respective owners, agents, and employees use all reasonable precaution against injury. Vet Partners and their respective owners, agents, and employees shall not be held liable in any manner or under any circumstances in connection with any injury, escape, or death of my pet as a result of the treatment my pet receives. I hereby release, forever discharge, and hold harmless the foregoing parties from any claim based on such treatment or other medical services.
