Best Friends Animal Hospital does not charge for keeping your pet for outpatient services. If more intensive care is required, hospitalization charges could apply. You would be contacted for authorization before any such treatment was initiated. To diagnose your pet our doctors may only need an examination, or we may need additional tests. In an effort to diagnose your pet’s condition as quickly as possible, please select from the level of initial diagnostics you will consent to without prior contact and specific authorization.
Please indicate the phrase that expresses your wishes:
Up to $50 Up to $100 Up to $200 Call for approval before anything is done
We will only use this authorization to perform non-invasive, in-hospital tests. Your choice will in no way alter the recommendation or treatment your pet receives. The doctor will contact you before any treatment is done that exceeds your approval above.
Consent for Exam, Treatment, and/or Surgery: I am the owner, or a representative of the owner, of the animal(s) presented & have the authority to execute this consent. I authorize & direct the veterinarians of Best Friends Animal Hospital (& their designated assistants) to administer authorized treatment as needed on the basis of findings during the course of evaluation: to diagnose, prescribe, sedate, anesthetize, perform therapeutic procedures &/or surgery as their judgment may dictate to be advisable for the patient’s well being. I understand I will be advised as to the nature of the procedures & the risks involved. I understand that no warranty or guarantee will be made as to the results or cure.
