Veterinary Surgical Procedure Consent Form

When your pet needs surgery, clear communication and informed consent are essential. This veterinary surgical procedure consent form helps veterinary practices obtain proper authorization while ensuring pet owners fully understand the procedure, risks, and post-operative care requirements.

Built specifically for veterinary clinics and animal hospitals, this template covers everything from patient information and procedure details to anesthesia risks, emergency protocols, and cost estimate acknowledgment. The form guides pet owners through important disclosures about surgical risks, anesthesia complications, and post-operative care instructions, ensuring they can make informed decisions about their pet's care.

Paperform makes it easy to customize this veterinary consent form to match your clinic's specific procedures, protocols, and branding. Add your practice logo, adjust consent language to meet your state's requirements, and use conditional logic to show different information based on the type of surgery or pet species. Forms can be completed on any device in the waiting room or sent ahead of time via email or SMS.

Once submitted, automatically route consent forms to your practice management system, send confirmation emails with pre-surgery instructions, and maintain digital records for compliance. With Papersign (papersign.com), you can collect legally binding electronic signatures on consent forms, creating a secure audit trail for every surgical authorization.

For practices looking to streamline their entire pre-surgery workflow, Stepper (stepper.io) can automate follow-up tasks like sending pre-operative fasting reminders, scheduling post-operative check-ups, updating your veterinary software, and triggering billing processes—all from a single form submission.

This template is trusted by veterinary practices, animal hospitals, and mobile vet services who need professional, compliant consent forms that protect both their practice and their patients.
