Dog Spay Consent Form

-- By signing this consent form, you are authorizing the performance of the above procedure(s) as deemed necessary by the veterinarian's professional judgment.

-- I have been advised of the nature of the procedures, the risks involved, and I understand that results are not guaranteed.

-- I understand that payment for services rendered will be due in full at the time of my pet’s discharge.
Home care instructions will be provided at the time of the pet’s discharge.

-- I authorize anesthesia and understand that there are potential complications, including death, associated with anesthesia. I also understand that the veterinarian will make every effort to contact me in case of unforeseen emergencies regarding treatment, but if unable to contact me, will proceed with any life-sustaining procedures.

-- I assume full responsibility for any additional incurred expenses after surgery (follow up radiographs, re-check exams, and additional surgery for failure to comply with the aftercare instructions) that will be performed. There is no additional charge for suture removal.

-- A complete physical exam will be performed on your pet prior to the surgical/dental procedure, but this may not identify all systemic or metabolic problems. For this reason, we recommend that your pet have a preanesthetic blood work to evaluate major organ function prior to anesthesia. Many pets will have already had this panel done as part of their pre-surgical physical exam.

-- Lincoln Road Veterinary Clinic pain management philosophy: Our clinic strongly believes in compassionate, quality medical care for our patients. As a result, all surgical patients will receive pain medication injection during surgery and post-operative surgery. Additionally, pain medications may be prescribed for use at home.
