I am the owner (or authorized agent) of the animal described and I give the doctor, her agents, employees and representatives authority to perform a physical examination, to recommend and prescribe treatment options including, but not limited to, laboratory testing, vaccines, medications, radiographs, and other therapies such as acupuncture, chiropractic, homeopathic and herbal medicine. I understand I will have the opportunity to accept or decline treatment recommendations verbally at the time of examination. Further, I understand that I will have the opportunity to discuss a treatment program that may be beneficial to promote resolution of symptoms and to promote the overall health of my pet. I understand that no guarantee of outcome can be made about any treatment plan presented. I take full responsibility for the treatment plan(s) I accept, and I will not hold the doctor or the practice responsible for results or complications that might arise due to the treatments accepted. This release will automatically serve as a release for any future examinations and/or treatments for which I schedule additional appointments. *
