Contraindication and Precautions of the Underwater Treadmill.
I understand if my pet has any of the following conditions, we will not be able to complete the underwater treadmill portion of their rehab until the condition has resolved. There will be no refunds or credits applied for partial rehab therapy due to patients with medical conditions preventing use of the underwater treadmill.
Flea and Tick Treatment
If fleas or ticks are present on a patient at drop off for a rehab session they will be treated with a Capstar at the owner's expense. Capstar is a fast-acting medication for dogs that contains the active ingredient nitenpyram. It works by killing adult fleas within 30 minutes and is effective for treating a current flea infestation for 24 hours. Over the counter products are less effective, so we are encouraging the use of a veterinary-approved prevention for best results.
I am the owner or authorized agent of the owner of the pet listed above, hereby and direct the veterinarian of this veterinary rehabilitation business or their assistants to perform all rehabilitation assessment and treatments within accepted therapy guidelines as deemed advisable and/or necessary for my pet. I authorize this veterinary rehabilitation business to obtain all medical records regarding my pet as is necessary for the thorough and complete evaluation and treatment of my pet.

In the event that my account is referred to a collection agency, I agree that this veterinary rehabilitation business may add an amount to my outstanding account balance to reimburse this veterinary rehabilitation business for the reasonable collection charges (but not including attorney's fees) imposed by the collection agency.
In the event of an emergency, or as determined by the veterinarian, it may become necessary to take my pet outside the hospital. I authorize this veterinary rehabilitation business to walk or transport my pet outside of the facility; I understand that this veterinary rehabilitation business will take reasonable precautions to ensure the safety of my pet while in their care. I agree to hold harmless this veterinary rehabilitation business their owners, employees, and agents from any and all liability of any nature, loss or injury to self, loss or injury to family including pet, loss or injury to guest as a result of participating in any assessments, treatments, classes and programs.
