1. Dog Health, Vaccination, and Behaviour
Vaccinations & Parasites: The Owner confirms that all dogs are up to date on required vaccinations (including Kennel Cough where applicable) and regular flea, tick, and worming treatments.
Behavioural Disclosures: The Owner must fully disclose any known behavioral traits, past aggression toward people or other animals, anxiety, or tendency to escape.
Local Compliance: The Owner confirms the dog is registered and microchipped in accordance with local council regulations.
2. Off-Leash Freedom and Group Walks
Leash Control: Dogs will remain on-leash unless off-leash exercise is explicitly authorised in writing by the Owner.

3. Emergency Medical Care

If the Owner or designated emergency contact is unreachable, DogRunWalk is authorised to transport the dog to a registered or nearby emergency veterinary clinic. The Owner agrees to all financial responsibility for veterinary fees incurred. You might like to get Pet Insurance as an option anyway as well.
