The listed owner and/or emergency contact will be contacted immediately. Any incidents resulting in the illness or injury of a pet in the daycare that cannot be treated with basic first aid in the daycare will be taken to the hospital for treatment. The responsible party for payment for any procedures will be determined on a case-by-case basis. If any injury or illness occurs as a result of the daycare itself, facilities or staff, the daycare will assume responsibility, in which case a claim will need to be filed with risk management by the owner. This will be established depending on the circumstances, always on a case-by-case basis.
