I also understand that animals who are away from their homes and normal routines are often stressed, with the net result being a depressed immune system. As with grade school children, however, animals kept in the same confined areas can spread germs from one to the other.

Ten days after this written notice, the animal will be considered abandoned and becomes the property of Pender Veterinary Centre. I understand that abandonment does not relieve me from responsibility of payment for services rendered, including the cost of boarding. I understand any animal with fleas, flea dirt or ticks will be treated at the owner's expense. I understand Pender Veterinary Centre is not responsible for any personal belongings left with my pet.
