Pet Care Check List

What we need to know to provide the best care for your pet

Whether we are boarding, providing pet sit visits 

or day care or giving your pup daily walks, 

your pet has a unique personality, their own 

routine and may require special care such as 

an epi-pen for allergies, daily supplements, or 

medication prescribed for short term or daily use.

Every new client is sent our

pet care check list so we have documentation 

and background information before our first visit. 

Some of the requested info is below.

Pet Health

There are a few things that we need 

to ensure your pet's health and well being 

- vet contact information

- authorization to seek treatment for your pet

vaccinations, health concerns, any special care 

required, any allergies or medications and dosage 

if you would like us to administer to your pet.

               or items on wheels like scooters or bikes;

  • leash aggression
  • what leash and collar are used
