Consent to help protect my fur baby
 

I have used the Vet school on a number of occasions. I see no problem with having me as the owner and paying client, signing an informed written consent. If you have nothing to hide from me, then you would have no problem with that. I want any and all students to have a supervising veterinarian present during the surgery. At the prices you charge me, this is not asking very much of you as an provider of services to the public. ANY SITUATION IN WHICH A STUDENT WILL BE PERFORMING A TASK WHICH ORDINARILY REQUIRES LICENSURE MUST REQUIRE THE OWNER’S SPECIFIC CONSENT. This is not something I should have to ask for, it is something that you should gladly provide us a consumers at the Vet School.
