Puppy Care Agreement

PUP-HAPPY Playmates

PUP-HAPPY Playmates is a ‘circle of trust’. Please read thoroughly.

If there's a lot of rain expected or simply unpleasant weather, we do cancel. If it's just a little bit of rain we can proceed.

My pup is in good health to participate in PUP-HAPPY Playmates. He/she is up to date with health/vet recommendations/requirements.

My pup has had at least one parvo/distemper vaccination?

I have fecal exam results showing no giardia or coccidia

I use flea and tick prevention for my pup (natural or otherwise)?

My puppy has been in a safe, clean home environment (not a shelter or large-volume breeder) for at least two weeks.

I will not bring my pup to PUP-HAPPY Playmates if he/she is showing signs of the following, and I understand that my pup may be sent home if any of these things are on display: diarrhea, vomiting, coughing, skin issues (ring-like spots, hair loss, itchiness, bumps, etc)

It's essential that this service is built on trust. You're trusting me with your puppy and I'm trusting that your puppy is coming healthy! So there is NO CHARGE for cancelling if your puppy isn't feeling well. If you ever think your pup is feeling off, let's be preventative and keep them home that day.

I agree that the benefits of dog-to-dog social time outweigh the risks, and I accept the risks listed and described below.

INJURY: I understand that while social time and play is closely and carefully monitored by Julie, it is possible that during the course of normal play my pup could end up with a cut, a pulled muscle, or something more serious.

OUTDOOR HAZARDS: Since the play takes place mainly outside, I understand that there are more natural hazards (sticks, rocks, acorns, puddles, etc.) than in a typical indoor "facility" and believe it is worth the risk.

DISEASE/PARASITES: I understand that while all participating puppies are as screened and protected as possible (see all the above!), there is still wildlife in the area (foxes, raccoons, rabbits, deer, mice, etc.) that could introduce disease and/or parasites to the yard.

I further understand that DOG-HAPPY TEAMMATES (and specifically PUP-HAPPY Playmates service) will not be liable, financially, or otherwise, for injuries to my dog or to me while my dog is participating in services. I hereby release DOG-HAPPY TEAMMATES of any liability of any kind arising from my dog’s participation in any and all services.
