Critical Care Authorization Form

Your pet has been presented in a critical or life threatening state. In order to prevent incorrect assumptions and miscommunications we require authorization to initiate and/or continue acute care to attempt to stabilize your pet, as well as obtain your acceptance of financial responsibility for the care.

The initial costs of Critical Care stabilization are estimated at $250.00 or more. This estimate is for initial stabilization only and does not include continued care once your pet is stabilizing nor does this estimate include hospitalization, treatments, medications or follow-up care.

The doctor will speak to you as soon as reasonably possible and will provide you with a written estimate of expected charges for continued care at the time. A deposit will be required for patients remaining in the hospital for continued care.

If you prefer to download and print a PDF form to fill in and bring with you, please use this PDF download link.
