Blue Dog Ranch Client Release
I understand that, despite Blue Dog Ranch Inc. (Blue Dog Ranch)'s efforts to maintain the safety of every dog and human at Blue Dog Ranch, there are certain risks involved in doggie day care and boarding. These risks include but are not limited to injuries such as bites or scratches to my dog or me, getting knocked down, my dog getting injured during play or an altercation with another dog and my dog contracting fleas, kennel cough or some other parasite or illness, my dog dying from some illness it already has or some other illness; and that injuries and illnesses can happen in Blue Dog Ranch's play area, lobby, parking lot, or anywhere else in or around Blue Dog Ranch.
I voluntarily accept these risks, and release Blue Dog Ranch and its owners, directors, officers, employees, independent contractors and assigns from any and all claims for or arising out of injury or damage of any kind or nature, to me, anyone with me and to my dog in any way related to or resulting from my use of Blue Dog Ranch services or my association with Blue Dog Ranch. This acceptance of risk and release includes but is not limited to claims of injuries or loss to my dog, myself, anyone who picks up or drops off my dog, or to any property that belongs to me.
If my dog becomes injured or ill while at Blue Dog Ranch I accept responsibility for veterinary bills and all other costs incurred for care or otherwise due to the injury or illness. I agree that Blue Dog Ranch may use my credit card number, provided in my Blue Dog Ranch Application ("Card"), to pay for all such veterinary and other costs. I understand and agree that this release applies to future unknown or unsuspected claims, and hereby waive Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and any similar law. Section 1542 reads as follows:

I consent to Blue Dog Ranch obtaining medical attention for my dog from any qualified veterinarian and transporting my dog to and from that veterinarian when Blue Dog Ranch deems such medical care may benefit my dog's health.

This release also applies to any claims for injuries or damages related to such medical care or transport.
I consent to Blue Dog Ranch taking my dog for one or more walks when Blue Dog Ranch deems such walks are important for my dog's health. This release also applies to any claims for injuries or damages related to such walks.

I agree to be responsible for all damage my dog causes to property of Blue Dog Ranch, and/or dogs and/or property of others while at Blue Dog Ranch or being transported to or from Blue Dog Ranch or being walked or played with outside of Blue Dog Ranch. I authorize Blue Dog Ranch to use my Card to pay for that damage.
I represent and warrant that my dog is in good health and has not had any communicable illness of any kind for one week prior to attending Blue Dog Ranch.
