The staff at Red Bank Veterinary Hospitals understands that there may be a time when you, as a pet owner, are faced with the painful decision of choosing the amount of life-saving measures to offer your beloved pet. Unexpected trauma and serious illness make these decisions all the more difficult.
As in human medicine, there are various levels of resuscitation efforts. These efforts can be minimal or extensive and will depend on your pet’s medical condition and quality of life, your personal wishes, and what is financially possible in your particular situation.
We would like you to be aware of these resuscitation options so you can continue to make decisions in the best interest of your pet. Below is a description of each level and an approximate cost to cover the necessary procedures and medications that may be required to carry out that level of care. Please be assured, that we will do our best to contact you should life saving measures become necessary for your pet, regardless of the time of day. Please understand that despite the best efforts of the doctors and staff, even the most successful CPR that may restore a pet’s life, may not necessarily allow for a pet to regain his/her normal mental and physical health.

I hereby represent that I am over the age of 18 and authorize the veterinarian to examine, prescribe for, or treat the above described pet. I assume responsibility for allcharges incurred in the care of this animal. I also understand that these charges will be paid when the services are rendered and that a 75% deposit on all healthcareplans will be required for treatment. Due to the nature of medical services, I understand that once a service is performed the fee for that service is non-refundable.

In the case of non-payment, I hereby promise to pay an additional fee of 1.5% per month of the outstanding balance on the account together with any collection costs, plus all attorney fees. In the case of a returned check, I acknowledge that there will be a fee of $60 NSF/stop payment imposed by and payable to Red Bank Veterinary Hospitals.*
