It is possible that my pet could have been infected with any disease, or unknown health situation WITHOUT my knowledge. Drank infected water at hime, chewed a toy or foreign object at home, or when infected with fleas that had not hatched at home. I acknowledge that TNK does as much as they can to control the NATURE of their property and I will not hold them responsible for any NATURE based problem with my pets stay. I am aware that TNK will do a flea check within the first 2 hours of my pet's stay. If the pet is deemed to have flea dirt, or fleas in any cycle of the gestation TNK will take precautions to treat my pet at my expense.

Therefore, owners must exercise their own judgment when choosing to board their pet and TNK is not responsible for any pet who may get the flu. TNK is strongly recommending the canine influenza vaccination which may or may not decrease the spread around the country. I have accurately disclosed all past and current injuries or professional diagnoses that may effect the quality and care of my pet during his/her stay @ TNK SWEATERS/CLOTHING: TNK does not accept any sweaters/coats that pull over. If the owner insists one be left on, TNK is not responsible for any injury/accident that may occur as a result.
