3.13(a)(3) (Non-Critical) – Veterinary care for dogs.
* No recorded date for fecal float testing for 29 dogs had been done at time of inspection. Annual fecal float testing is important for the health of the animals. Fecal float testing is done to ensure that there are no active internal parasites. The licensee must ensure that all dogs are receiving vaccinations for contagious and/or deadly diseases of dogs (including rabies, parvovirus, and distemper) and sampling and treatment of parasites and other pests (including fleas, worms, coccidia, giardia, and heartworm) in accordance with a schedule approved by the attending veterinarian. Correct by 6/5/23. This inspection and exit interview were conducted with the licensee. n

3.6(a)(2)(ix) (Non-Critical) – Primary enclosures.
The cage carpets used at the facility as whelping mats are in disrepair. Six enclosures housing five adult dogs and 16 puppies, contain cage carpets that have frayed edges that expose loose fibers and long strings. Frayed carpet edges can potentially be dangerous, as the dogs could chew on or ingest the carpet fibers, or they may wrap around the extremities of the dogs resulting in injury. Correct by ensuring that all materials used in the kennels, such as carpeting, are closely monitored and replaced when worn, to avoid the potential for injury. Additionally, the licensee must ensure that all surfaces in contact with the dogs are able to be cleaned and sanitized in accordance with 3.11(b) of this subpart or replaced when worn or soiled.

3.13(b)(3) (Non-Critical) – Veterinary care for dogs.
The facility does not have the date recorded for the administration of the rabies vaccine in the adult dogs. Failure to maintain records of vaccines and treatments administered to the dogs does not allow for APHIS officials to determine if the veterinarian approved vaccination schedule is being followed. Correct by ensuring that the names of all vaccines and treatments administered and the dates of administration are recorded. This is a 1st Re-License Inspection for a Class “A” license. The inspection and exit briefing were conducted with the applicant. All items must be in compliance within 2 more inspections or by 15-July-2024 or the applicant will forfeit the license fee and must wait 6 months to reapply. Please contact your inspector to schedule your next Re-License Inspection. Regulated activity can continue under your existing USDA license until it expires. n
