3.13(a)(3) (Non-Critical) – Veterinary care for dogs.
The facility is not following the written Program of Veterinary Care (PVC): -The PVC states to administer a Bordetella vaccine annually for adult dogs, the facility is not administering this vaccine to adults. -The PVC states to administer Neopar vaccine for puppies at 4 weeks of age, the facility is not administering this vaccination. -The PVC states to administer Distemper and Parvovirus vaccinations annually to adults. For adult female Pug (#1332), adult female Golden Retriever (#1887), Adult female Miniature Schnauzer (#1411), adult female Corgi (#1548), and adult female Corgi (#1541), these animals last received the Distemper and Parvovirus vaccines on 12/2/2023. Additionally, adult male Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (#0548) last received the Distemper and Parvovirus vaccines on 9/6/2024. -Approximately 20% of puppies receive a Bordetella vaccination at 5 weeks of age, the PVC does not authorize this vaccine for puppies. -The PVC states to administer a Neopar vaccine at 4 weeks and a Distemper/Parvovirus vaccine at 6 weeks. A litter of 6 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (#5131, 5120, 5130, 5134, 5140, and 5141) did not receive their first vaccines until they were approximately 8 weeks old. Failure to administer required vaccines in accordance with a veterinary approved schedule may result in animals to not be adequately protected against disease and/or can cause pain and distress. Correct by ensuring all animals are vaccinated in accordance with the schedule approved by the Attending Veterinarian and contact the Attending Veterinarian to review records and create a plan to determine when to administer future vaccinations for the applicable animals.

3.13(b)(4) (Non-Critical) – Veterinary care for dogs.
The facility was unable to provide documentation of fecal tests performed last year. The facility stated that fecal tests for adults were performed last year in accordance with the schedule in the Program of Veterinary Care but they could not provide the test results. Failure to document testing results may interfere with the ability of APHIS officials to determine if the animals are receiving adequate veterinary care. Medical records must be maintained and include the dates and findings/results of all screening, routine, or other required or recommended test or examination. Correct by documenting the results of all testing and ensure that medical records are complete and contain the required information. 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 April 3, 2026 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

3.13(a)(3) (Non-Critical) – Veterinary care for dogs.
The facility is not following the Program of Veterinary Care for vaccinations. The Program of Veterinary Care currently prescribes dogs will be vaccinated for rabies at 16-18 weeks of age and annually going forward. A female Cavalier King Charles Spaniel born on October 25, 2025 has not been administered a rabies vaccine according to the facility representative. Failure to follow the preventative care schedule for vaccinations in the Program of Veterinary Care does not ensure the dogs are receiving appropriate protection against contagious and deadly diseases such as distemper, parvo, and rabies which can lead to illness and discomfort to the dogs. The facility must follow the vaccination schedule approved by the attending veterinarian in the Program of Veterinary Care to protect the dogs from deadly or contagious diseases. Correct by May 27, 2026. This inspection and exit interview were conducted with the facility representative. n
