I understand that my pet must be up to date on needed vaccinations such as rabies, distemper, and Bordetella in order to be hospitalized for any period of time at Lakeside Animal Hospital. Otherwise, my pet will be treated at my expense. I understand that pre-anesthetic blood work will be done, at the owner's expense, prior to the patient being anesthetized for his/her safety.
