Questions to settle

Review before you publish.

Does a signed waiver mean a dog is approved for group play?

No. Staff still review admission requirements and evaluate the dog's response to the environment. Owner consent and the facility's suitability decision are separate parts of intake.

Is this a vaccination tracker or veterinary record system?

No. It is a starting structure for owner consent and relevant pet details. Maintain vaccination evidence, expiry checks, medication records, and clinical information in your established pet-care systems.

Can a household use one agreement for several dogs?

Keep each dog identifiable and connect its disclosures and permissions to the owner. If care instructions or behavior histories differ, separate records can make staff review and future updates clearer.
