Legal Waiver and Liability Acknowledgment for Salt Lake Paws

I understand that Salt Lake Paws takes all reasonable precautions to ensure the safety and well-being of my pet(s) during all services, including but not limited to dog walking, adventure outings, group walks, pet sitting, and pet taxi services. However, I acknowledge that there are inherent risks involved in these activities, and I voluntarily assume all responsibility for any illness, injury, or harm, whether minor or serious, that may occur.

These risks include but are not limited to: exposure to other animals, unpredictable terrain, weather conditions, insects, wildlife, and accidental injury. I understand that participation in group play, outdoor activities, or trail use may result in my pet(s) getting dirty or wet. I acknowledge that Salt Lake Paws does not provide bathing or grooming services.

I affirm that my pet(s) are current on vaccinations, including Rabies, Bordetella, and DHPP (Parvo/Distemper), and have not been exposed to any contagious illness or disease within the last thirty (30) days.

I understand that if my pet(s) display aggressive, threatening, or disruptive behavior, Salt Lake Paws reserves the right to remove them from group settings or services immediately. I may be required to retrieve my pet(s) early or make alternate arrangements at my own expense.

In the event of an injury or medical emergency, I authorize Salt Lake Paws to seek emergency veterinary care or veterinary care at the nearest available clinic to ensure prompt treatment. I understand that every effort will be made to contact me as soon as possible. I may request that my pet’s primary veterinarian or preferred clinic be prioritized for treatment; however, I acknowledge that this may not result in the fastest possible care, and Salt Lake Paws will not be held liable for any delays or complications resulting from this preference.

I may request individual or private services as an alternative to group settings, and I understand this may result in an additional charge.

I acknowledge and agree that Salt Lake Paws, including its staff and representatives, shall not be held liable for any injury, illness, or condition — whether physical, behavioral, or emotional — that occurs during the normal course of care unless caused by gross negligence. I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless Salt Lake Paws from any claims, damages, or liabilities arising from the actions, behavior, or health of my pet(s), including property damage or injury to other animals, people, or staff.
