My dog meets the following requirements: Is at least three (3) months of age or older and has/have completed all rounds of juvenile vaccines; is spayed or neutered (if over six (6) months of age); is current on Rabies, Distemper, Leptospirosis, and Bordetella vaccinations; is in good health and free of any contagious diseases and has an up-to-date negative Intestinal Parasite Screen. I agree to complete and sign all Doggie Bus forms prior to my pet(s) riding in the vehicle.
I agree to provide The Doggie Bus Nola with medical documentation from a licensed veterinarian that indicates my pet(s) is currently up to date on the vaccinations listed in Section 1. Additionally, I agree to provide The Doggie Bus Nola with this documentation AT LEAST 48 hours (about 2 days) prior to my reservation or appointment. I understand that I am responsible for providing The Doggie Bus Nola with this information and they are not responsible for obtaining it for me.
IMPORTANT: I also understand that my reservation or appointment will not be confirmed until this information is provided, and The Doggie Bus Nola is able to confirm my pet(s) fulfills all the requirements.
To ensure adequate immunity we highly recommend your pet(s) receive all required vaccinations 1 week prior to riding with us in order to be the most effective. I also understand that no vaccine is 100% effective. The goal of vaccines is to prevent severe disease. Due to the year-round risk of canine upper respiratory infections, we do recommend all dogs riding in our vehicle(s) get their Bordetella vaccination boostered every 6 months. Furthermore, the intranasal vaccine has shown higher in efficacy than injectable or oral forms. I confirm that my pet(s) are healthy and have been free from any condition that could potentially jeopardize other pets. Pets that have been ill with a communicable condition in the last 30 days will require a veterinarian certification of health.
I agree to pay for all rides and fees with the credit card number I have provided, or by cash, check, or Venmo at the time the ride is completed. I give permission for The Doggie Bus to charge my credit card for any unpaid fees, services, and or products. I further agree to pay the cost of any check or debit charges returned or challenged for any reason.
I understand that The Doggie Bus is not a mobile veterinary clinic/hospital and does not practice veterinary medicine. The Doggie Bus Nola will make their best efforts to notify me in the event of illness or serious injury using the contact information I provided. I agree to allow The Doggie Bus Nola to obtain medical treatment for my pet(s) at a veterinarian of The Doggie Bus Nola's choosing if it appears that he/she is ill, injured, or exhibits any other behavior that would reasonably suggest that my pet may need medical treatment. The Doggie Bus Nola will attempt to make contact with the pet(s) owner as soon as possible at the contact number provided to The Doggie Bus Nola. I agree that I am fully responsible for the cost of any such medical treatment.
Please respect the posted business hours which are subject to change. The Doggie Bus Nola will impose a fee for drop-offs or pick-ups outside of the normal hours.
I understand that aggressive dogs are not allowed to ride with The Doggie Bus Nola, and that if my dog acts aggressively or exhibits unacceptable behavior that they may be placed in an enclosed section of the bus until drop-off. The Doggie Bus Nola will use reasonable efforts to consult you about behavioral issues and ways to address them, however some dogs may not be able to ride with The Doggie Bus Nola again. I also understand that The Doggie Bus may excuse my pet for any reason they deem inappropriate.
I agree to allow The Doggie Bus Nola to use my pet(s) name and any photos/videos of my pet(s) taken while he/she is in the Doggie Bus, in any form, for use at any time, in any media, marketing, advertising, illustration, trade or promotional materials without compensation, and I release to The Doggie Bus Nola all rights that I may possess or claim to such image, likeness, recording, etc.
I understand that I am solely responsible for any harm, including to any other pet(s), to the employee or others of The Doggie Bus Nola, or to the equipment or other property of The Doggie Bus Nola, caused by my pet(s). I also agree that The Doggie Bus Nola shall not be responsible or liable for any lost or damaged personal property belonging to me or my pet(s). I agree not to bring anything of value or irreplaceable while my pet(s) are being transported.
I fully understand that: (a) there are inherent and potential risks involved with interactions between humans and pets, as well as between dogs and other dogs, which may result in property damage or bodily injury, including permanent disability, sickness or death to human or pet; and (b) there may be other risks not known to me nor readily foreseeable at this time (collectively 'risks'). I fully accept and assume all risks and responsibility for all risks, including, without limitation, all losses, costs, and damages incurred as a result of my or my pet's participation.
I agree that any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this agreement, or the breach thereof, or as the result of any claim or controversy involving the alleged negligence by any party to this agreement, shall be settled in accordance with the rules of the American Bar Association, and judgment upon the award rendered by an arbitrator may be entered into any Court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall, as part of his award, determine an award to the prevailing party of the costs of such arbitration and reasonable attorney's fees of the prevailing party.
I understand that my dog(s) are required to have quick release collars with identification (no buckle or chain collars). Never use a retractable leash and agree to always keep my dog(s) on a leash while walking to and from the Doggie Bus.
