The appellant appealed a Statement of Account (SOA) for $4,629.40 issued by Animal Welfare Services for emergency veterinary care provided to his dog.
The dog required an emergency C-section, which the appellant could not afford, prompting the removal of the dog and the subsequent surgery.
The Animal Care Review Board found that the removal was lawful and necessary, and that the costs incurred were reasonable and supported by expert testimony.
The appeal was dismissed and the SOA was confirmed.
