Pea Stone Notice
Kennel Resorts Pea Stone Notice
This Pea Stone Notice is made by Kennel Resorts and/or their affiliates, employees, managers, members, officers, agents, successors, assigns, clients and (collectively, the “KR Parties”). Kennel Resorts uses pea stone in their outdoor play areas at the KR locations. Pea stones are small, round stones without sharp or rough edges. Pea stone is a recommended surface for dog play areas because it is a forgiving surface that is easier on dog’s joints than concrete. Pea stone also allows urine to sink through to the ground below while fecal matter sits on top of it, where it is more easily noticed and picked up as promptly as possible. This allows the KR Parties to keep the outdoor areas generally free of waste so dogs are not stepping in it while playing. At times, a dog who is an avid feces eater will get to the feces before the KR Parties are able to remove it. As such, a dog who eats feces may also ingest pea stone. Pea stone alone is usually harmless and will usually pass on its own (the dog will either vomit it up or it will pass in the feces). But often times they will consume more than they can pass and may require surgery. Many dogs have no issues running and playing on pea stone. Some dogs (especially dogs who have not built up tough paw pads due to their youth or lack of exposure to surfaces other than those in their homes and grassy outdoors) may experience irritation. While walking and running, pea stone can rub in between paw pads, causing redness and irritation. Some dogs may lick their paws to relieve the irritation or may favor an exceptionally sore paw by limping. Please be sure to prevent your dog from licking their paws as this will exacerbate the soreness. To prevent or reduce future irritation from the pea stone, a paw wax or balm can be used, subject to your dog’s veterinarians approval. Paw wax is a substance that is applied to the paw pads and in between the paw pads. It provides a protective barrier which reduces irritation caused by rough surfaces such as pea stone. The paw wax oftentimes contains healing properties as well. Please always consult your veterinarian if you have any concerns about your pet(s).
By signing, I acknowledge and understand this Pea Stone Notice.

All Rights Reserved. Kennel Resorts reserves the right to make changes to the Pea Stone Notice without advanced notice and to require client to resign to continue participation in the Activities. This Pea Stone Notice applies to all dogs that enter our property for any reason.

AUTHORIZATION FOR TREATMENT IN THE EVENT OF A LIFE THREATENING EMERGENCY
In the event my pet experiences a cardiac, respiratory or other life-threatening emergency that requires resuscitative or other urgent care measures, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), positive pressure ventilation, emergency drugs, or other similar measures, I request that the veterinarian and/or trained staff at Kennel Resorts pursue such medical care as indicated below.
Please initial ONE of the directives below:
__________Resuscitate ( R ): I authorize emergency treatment if the situation arises (including cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and other life-saving treatments) and understand this may result in additional charges and I agree to pay for these emergency and life-stabilizing treatments even if they exceed any estimate I may have been provided.
__________Resuscitate ( R ): I authorize emergency treatment if the situation arises (including cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and other life-saving treatments) and understand this may result in additional charges and I agree to pay for these emergency and life-stabilizing treatments not to exceed $______________. I wish to be contacted once this amount has been reached.
__________Do Not Resuscitate (DNR): I do NOT authorize emergency treatment if the situation arises (including cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and other life-saving treatments) and prefer to be contacted before any additional treatment is performed.
I understand that despite the best efforts of the veterinarians and staff at Kennel Resorts, any emergency treatment, including CPR, does not guarantee or assure a favorable outcome for my pet.
I hereby certify that I am the Owner or Responsible Agent of the patient identified above and that I have read and understand this authorization, including any risks associated with the treatment and care of my animal.
