2.40(b)(2) (Non-Critical) – Attending veterinarian and adequate veterinary care (dealers and exhibitors).
A female Maltese (tag#315) was found to have tartar and plaque build-up on all of her teeth. Her upper front teeth (incisors) were loose to the touch. The kennel caretaker said they did do a surface cleaning after the dog had a physical exam in fall 2023. Teeth loose to the touch are a sign of more advanced dental disease and need to be seen by the attending veterinarian for further treatment. Ensure that this dog is seen by the attending veterinarian and the treatment plan is followed. ***Correct by 3/5/2024 A female Shih-tzu (tag #301) was observed to have some dried and wet discharge by her eyes. Her right eye was hazy on the surface and the white part had some redness to it. Her left eye had some discharge on the surface and around the eyelids. I called the AV who said this dog should likely be getting eye ointment. Also, this dog was sensitive to the mouth and wouldn’t allow dental observation. The one tooth I could see was the right upper canine tooth (bigger front tooth) and it was plaque covered and loose to the touch. Eye problems and a loose tooth, if untreated can become worse and cause dog discomfort. Ensure this dog is seen by the AV and follow the prescribed treatment plan. ***Correct by 3/5/2024

2.75(a)(2) (Non-Critical) – Records: Dealers and exhibitors.
A dog (tag#313) was noted to have a disposition in December on APHIS 7005 (Dogs on Hand). The caretaker said it was donated to a rescue, however APHIS 7006 was not completed. Record of Disposition (APHIS 7006) is required to be completed and maintain for disposition of animals. Ensure that APHIS 7006 is completed and maintained for all dispositions. ***Maintain correct from 2/23/2024 forward.

3.6(a)(2)(iii) (Critical) – Primary enclosures.
A Male mini poodle (tag#352) was noted to have died in the records. The kennel caretaker said it was newer to the kennel and had been jumping over enclosure walls and recalled that it was being housed in enclosure #5 but on 12-22-2023 was found in enclosure #2 with injuries from the bigger dogs housed there. They said they contacted the attending veterinarian right away but unfortunately it passed away before getting to the clinic. Enclosures need to be maintained in a way that keeps dogs from getting in with other dogs that aren’t compatible. Ensure enclosure are maintained in a way that contains dogs securely and prevents them from getting injured. ***Correct from 2/23/2024 forward.

3.8 (Non-Critical) – Exercise for dogs.
The facility has a written Exercise Program but it has not been approved by the new AV they have visiting the kennel. An Exercise Program that is approved by the AV helps ensure dogs are provided adequate space and exercise. Ensure that the AV is involved in the planning for exercise of dogs and that the exercise program is approved by the Attending Veterinarian. ***Correct by 3/14/2024 This inspection and exit interview were conducted with facility representatives. n
