                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

DISCLOSURE FORMS REQUIRED (§ 54.1-3806.1)

Any animal medical care facility in the Commonwealth, excluding those facilities
dealing with livestock, as defined in § 3.2-5900, which does not provide
continuous medical care for all animals left in its charge shall, before taking
charge of an animal, provide the client or agent thereof with a disclosure form
which specifies the hours and days when continuous medical care is not available
at the facility. Such form shall be separate and apart from any other form or
information provided by the facility. Except in emergency situations when time
or circumstances do not permit, such facilities may take charge of an animal
only after the client or agent thereof has signed the disclosure form and
returned it to the facility. Only one signed form per client shall be required,
and the form shall be kept on file by the facility.
