We may refuse or end Services for any dog we believe poses an unreasonable risk to people, other animals, or itself.
4. No Guarantee of Results

We will use professional care and skill, but we do not guarantee any specific result. Service dog assessments reflect our professional opinion on the day of assessment and are not a legal certification.

If your dog becomes ill or injured while in our care, you authorize us to seek veterinary care. We will try to reach you and your listed veterinarian first. You are responsible for all resulting veterinary costs.
