Scorpions, Toads, Lizards & Snakes

Scorpions, Toads, Lizards and Snakes are a normal part of owning a dog in Arizona. These creatures can be dangerous, and even lethal, to your dog. We take preventative measures, but we can't control the desert environment. We recommend if you suspect your dog has been in contact with these creatures, you IMMEDIATELY take your dog to your veterinarian for emergency treatment. You also might wish to investigate, with your veterinarian, preventative measures and some of the latest vaccines and treatment options.

 

Injuries

 

Dogs can and will get injuries during play, fights, accidents, grooming, doggie daycare, training and boarding. Some injuries are sports injuries. Just as we get injuries when we train and play hard, dogs will get injuries, and injure people, from time to time. Dogs bang into one another, pick things up with their mouths, and dogs will be dogs. We try to minimize the risks of injuries, but animals will do things at times you can't control. We are going to be evaluating, supervising, grooming, boarding, caring for, and training you and your dog in the real world. The the real world has hazards that can’t always be avoided (such as traffic, leashes that break, crazy dogs that bite their owners, dog fights, sprains, strains, bone breaks, tooth loss, dogs that pick fights, and such like). Working with dogs always involves substantial and inherent risks of injury, including death. The risks include accidents, errors, and natural and man-made hazards. You warrant you and your dog are physically healthy and controllable enough to be trained. You shall provide complete and accurate details about your situation with your dog.

 

Poisoning

 

Dogs will get into things and eat things, from time to time, that could make them ill, or even kill them. We recommend if you suspect your dog has been in contact with these substances, you IMMEDIATELY take your dog to your veterinarian for emergency treatment. We use non-toxic cleaners and procedures at Paws to Play, so it is highly unlikely that your pet would encounter anything harmful at our facility..

 

HOLD HARMLESS AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY

 

By making contact with us or our business associates and friends, or doing any business with us, you fully acknowledge and understand the risks to your dog and agree to unconditionally release and indemnify us, our contacts and customers from any liability and hold us harmless from all damages in the event any dog or person is injured through our interactions. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DOG'S, OR ANY PERSON'S, MEDICAL BILLS OR ANY RESULTING DAMAGES FROM THESE INJURIES OR THEIR EFFECTS! We can't be. There is no way for us to prevent all accidents... dogs are intelligent creatures and will get into things, even with supervision, containment, and training. We aren't veterinarians and modern medicine doesn't have cures or preventative measures to screen out everything. The only way you could prevent your dog from ever being injured would be to put your dog in a bubble, not do business with any kind of pet professional, stay in your house 24 hours a day, don't go buy dog food from any public retailer, don't take your dog for walks in public where birds or insects might be, etc... which is impossible... and not very humane. Life is sometimes harsh and unfair. This is one of those kinds of things. If you have more questions: Call your veterinarian for more specific advice. NO DOGGIE DAYCARE, TRAINER, GROOMER, BOARDING FACILITY... OR EVEN YOUR VETERINARIAN... CAN PREVENT 100% OF THESE INJURIES AND STILL HAVE A NORMAL BUSINESS OPERATION.
