Heartworm test Waiver
Heartworm testing
is recommended:
-
If disease is
detected early, it is much safer to treat.
Heartworms can live up to 5 years causing damage
to the heart and lungs.
-
To confirm that
the medication is working as expected. Though
prevention is very reliable, nothing is 100%.
Preventive Guarantee: Manufactures of
prevention will pay for heartworm treatment if your
pet should become positive. The conditions for this
guarantee are:
- Prevention is purchased from your
veterinarian or accredited online pharmacy such as
vetcentric.com
- If started after 8 weeks of age, two negative test are shown six
months apart.
- Purchase history matches medical record for year round prevention
I
understand that the Doctors at Community Animal
Hospital recommend heartworm testing annually, with
or without the usage of prevention year round.
However you may sign a waiver every other year to
continue refilling your pet's heartworm prevention.
Heartworm testing is then required every
other year.
I have read and
understand the risk involved and choose to decline
heartworm testing at this time. I do hereby release
Community Animal Hospital and its staff from any
liability should any disease result in my dog not
being annually tested for heartworm disease.
