This release does not expire and will remain valid for all future Purrs & Grrrs, LLC services.
In the event that any of my pets or large animals appears to be ill, injured, or at significant risk of experiencing a medical problem at the start of service or while in the care of Purrs & Grrrs, I give permission to Purrs & Grrrs to seek veterinary service from a veterinarian or a veterinary clinic. I understand every effort will be made to take my pet to the vet clinic specified in my pet's profile in the Purrs & Grrrs Client Portal if the situation permits however; Purrs & Grrrs has the authority to seek treatment at any veterinary clinic should it be absolutely necessary as deemed by the sitter/dog walker. Any Veterinarian or emergency care clinics chosen by Purrs & Grrrs are acceptable for emergency care.
I ask Purrs & Grrrs to inform the attending clinic or veterinarian of my requested total diagnosis and treatment limit, per pet (most common values are $200, $1000, or unlimited) as defined in my pet's profile in the Purrs & Grrrs Client Portal. I understand that efforts will be made to contact me regarding any treatments, illness, injury, or potential problems as soon as the condition is deemed not life threatening and/or contact is possible. I understand that Purrs & Grrrs care providers work hard to prevent accidents and injuries, and that such problems may occur no matter how well a pet is cared for.

Every pet or animal at the site of service will be current (per my veterinarians recommendations) on its vaccinations prior to the arrival of any caregiver. I will also make arrangements to guarantee that each animal will remain current on its vaccinations throughout each service visit period.
