Vet Treatment Authorisation & Emergency Consent Form

A vet authorisation template — your vet, consent to emergency treatment and a spend limit agreed, so a sitter can act fast if your pet falls ill.

Description

If a pet falls ill or is hurt while you’re away, minutes matter — and a sitter who can’t reach you shouldn’t be left guessing. This form gives them clear authority to act: your vet’s details, your consent to seek emergency treatment, and the limit you’re comfortable with before they must keep trying to reach you. It records the essentials for a fast, confident response: your regular vet and an out-of-hours option, consent to transport and treat your pet in an emergency, a spend threshold, and who to contact if you can’t be reached. It’s the paperwork you hope is never needed and are very glad exists when it is. Pair it with any sitting or walking booking. Free, brandable, and it turns a frightening moment into a clear plan your sitter can follow without hesitation.

Template FAQs

Common questions about the Vet Treatment Authorisation & Emergency Consent Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.

Why do I need a vet treatment authorisation form?

So that if your pet becomes ill or injured while in a sitter or walker’s care and you can’t be reached, they have clear, written authority to get it the veterinary help it needs — without losing time.

What does the authorisation cover?

Your regular and out-of-hours vet, consent to transport your pet and authorise emergency treatment, a spend limit before further contact is attempted, and emergency contacts if you’re unreachable.

Why set a spending limit?

Because emergency veterinary care can be costly, and you decide how much a sitter may authorise on your behalf before they must keep trying to reach you. It protects both of you and keeps decisions clear.

What if my pet is insured?

Note your insurer and policy on the form if you wish — it helps the vet and sitter, though emergency treatment is usually paid first and claimed back afterwards.

Does this replace my own contact details?

No — the sitter will always try to reach you first. This authorisation is the backstop for when a decision can’t wait and you can’t be contacted.

Is the form free?

Yes — free with a Fun Forms account, fully customisable, and it can be completed and signed before any sitting or walking begins.
