Pet registration form with vaccinations and a temperament grid

A daycare has to decide two things before a dog walks in: whether the vaccinations are current, and which group the dog belongs in. This form settles both, with a C5 certificate upload that says what will be rejected and a seven row temperament grid that asks about food, toys, small dogs and being crated separately.

Register your dog with Wagging Tails Daycare

One registration per dog. Every dog does a half day trial before a first full booking, and the temperament grid below is what the trial is designed to check.

Your dog

One clear photo, taken in the last six months, with the whole dog in frame and the face visible. It goes on the run sheet so a handler can match the name to the dog at drop off, and it is the picture used if your dog is ever lost.

Health

PDF or a clear photo, up to two files, 10 MB each. C5 cover is required, which is the C3 core plus kennel cough, and it has to be in date on the day of the trial. A certificate from the vet is needed, not a photo of the tag.

Temperament

Answer this the way your dog actually is, not the way you would like them to be. A dog that has reacted before is not refused, it is placed in a smaller group with a handler who knows. A dog whose owner said relaxed and then guarded a ball is the one that ends up in an incident.

People we can call

By signing you confirm the vaccination details are current, and you authorise Wagging Tails to seek veterinary treatment if your dog is injured or unwell and you cannot be reached, up to a limit of 500 dollars without further contact. You are responsible for that cost.

The temperament grid is the whole form

Most pet forms ask whether a dog is friendly, which collects a yes from everybody. This one asks seven separate situations and gives four answers to each, and the answers are graded rather than binary: relaxed, excitable but fine, wary or avoids, has reacted before. Food, bones and high value treats gets its own row because that is where most daycare incidents start, and toys with other dogs around gets another because the two are different behaviours. The paragraph above says plainly that a dog which has reacted is placed in a smaller group, not refused.

The Australian pieces on this form

C5 is the Australian shorthand for the core C3 vaccination plus the two kennel cough components, and it is what a daycare or boarding facility asks for. The upload note says a certificate from the vet is required rather than a photo of the tag, because the tag carries a date and no scope. Microchipping is compulsory in most Australian states and the number is fifteen digits, so the field enforces exactly that length. The signature paragraph names a 500 dollar limit for veterinary treatment without further contact, which is the local convention for an owner authority.

How to adapt this form

A boarding kennel adds arrival and departure dates, a bedding question and a second emergency contact, because a dog staying overnight has a different set of failure modes. A dog walking service drops the crate row from the grid, adds a key or lockbox question and a recall rating, since off lead work is the risk being assessed. A cat boarding facility replaces the whole grid with a litter, feeding and hiding preference set, and swaps C5 for F3, which is the equivalent feline cover.

What makes this form work

Seven situations, four graded answers each

Food and bones is a separate row from toys and balls, and small dogs is separate from similar sized dogs, because those are different behaviours. Has reacted before is an offered answer rather than an admission.

The certificate upload says what gets rejected

C5 cover, in date on the trial day, as a vet certificate rather than a photo of the tag. Putting the rejection rule on the field is what stops a second round of emails before a booking.

The microchip field takes fifteen digits and nothing else

Australian microchip numbers are fifteen digits, so the pattern blocks a short council registration number being typed in by mistake, which is the usual confusion at registration.

Questions people ask

Why is the dog photo required rather than optional?

Because it does two jobs. On the run sheet it lets a handler match a name to a dog at a busy drop off, which is when mistakes happen. If a dog ever gets out, it is the picture that goes out immediately, and a photo taken in the last six months is worth more than one from a puppy. The field takes exactly one image by design.

Can the form check the vaccination certificate itself?

No. It collects a PDF or a photo and the instructions say what will be rejected, which is a tag photo rather than a certificate, or cover that lapses before the trial day. A person checks it before the booking call, which the thank you screen states. Nothing on the form claims to read the document or contact the vet.

How does a rating grid work on a form?

It is a matrix field: seven statements down the side, four choices across the top, one answer per row. It exports as a single column with each statement and its answer paired, rather than seven columns, so read it as a block. On a phone it stacks, which is why seven rows is the practical limit before it becomes tiring to answer.

Should a daycare ask about desexing?

Yes, and the four answers here carry the nuance. A dog under twelve months that is not desexed is normal, one over twelve months changes group placement, and a documented medical exemption is a real category. A plain yes or no would force owners into the wrong box and lose the only piece of information that actually affects the day.

What does the owner signature authorise?

The paragraph above it says the vaccination details are current and authorises veterinary treatment up to 500 dollars if the dog is injured and the owner cannot be reached, with the owner responsible for the cost. Naming the figure is the point. An open ended authority is the one owners dispute afterwards, and a limit gives the handler something to act on.

Why ask for feeding instructions as free text?

Because feeding is idiosyncratic and a tick list would flatten it. What a handler needs is the sentence, not a category: nothing at lunch, own kibble at three, no rawhide. The placeholder shows exactly that shape, which is the cheapest way to get a useful answer rather than the word normal.
