A receptionist in scrubs at a pet salon counter handing a tablet to a customer, with a golden retriever on a lead sitting at the counter between them.

Boarding, grooming and daycare

Vet authorization for boarding, with a limit, at drop-off.

Drop-off is chaos. The form that matters is the veterinary authorisation, with a spending limit and a number that answers, and it is the one missing at two in the morning.

Where it goes wrong

Not a feature list. These are the three moments this exists for.

A boarding kennel front desk: a coiled dog lead, a paper intake form with empty boxes, a desk phone off its hook, an animal's tail passing a half-door.

The authorisation with no limit on it

"Do whatever is needed" is not an authorisation anybody wants to rely on at midnight, and neither is a blank. A number, agreed in advance, is.

The emergency contact who does not answer

One number is not a plan. Two, and the vet's own, is — and it belongs on the same document as the authorisation.

The behaviour note nobody wrote down

"He is fine with other dogs" said at the counter is not a record. On the form, signed, it is.

What happens instead

The signing page as it opens from the link in a text or an email: the document's title, who sent it and to whom, and the agreement to sign electronically. The business and the people named are examples.

Sent with the booking

Signed at home, the evening before, when they have the vet's number in front of them rather than in the car park.

The send screen for one document: a box for each blank, every one required before it can go. The business and the people named are examples.

The limit is a required field

A number, not a checkbox. The document cannot be sent without one, so you never have the version without it.

The documents list searched by a customer's name, every document they have signed, with its status and date. The business and the people named are examples.

Signed once, found again

A regular's authorisation is on file under their name, with the date they signed it. A first-timer signs before their first day.

Two documents, in your account the moment you name your trade

Setup asks what you do. Answer "boarding, grooming and daycare" and these are waiting as drafts, in your words, with the blanks marked and the points a lawyer settles flagged for one. Edit them, or paste what you already use.

Documents this trade sends

Written from the document's side rather than the trade's, for when you know the form you are short of.

A phone lying on a folded paper map with a pair of sunglasses on the passenger seat of a car, a lake through the windows.

Clinical consent is a different thing

Authorising a boarding kennel to seek treatment is not the same as a veterinary practice taking informed consent for a procedure, and the second has requirements this is not built for. If you are a practice rather than a boarder, the simple acknowledgments here are fine and the clinical consent is not.
