2. The client agrees that, in admitting their dog, Pet Palz has relied on the client’s representation that their dog is in good health and has not harmed or shown aggression or threatening behaviour toward any person or any other dog.

3. All dogs will be subject to an initial assessment by Pet Palz staff prior to using Pet Palz Pet Care Services. Pet Palz Pet Care Services reserves the right to refuse admission to any dog deemed in their absolute discretion to be, or have the potential to be, dangerous or disruptive.

The client agrees to pay all such costs immediately upon pick-up of their dog, or by agreement with the proprietor.
