Several dogs had mats in their hair coat and dirty ears at the time of inspection. ** Female Lhasa Apso #7719 has a moderate amount of reddish-brown thick, greasy debris in both ears. ** Female Cavalier #7803 has a large amount of dark brown thick, greasy debris in the right ear. The debris is matted into some of the hair in the ears forming clumps. This dog also has mats in the long hair on the outer ear flap of both ears. ** Male Aussie #4532 has mats along his right thorax, affecting approximately six square inches of his body. The mats are about 1 inch from the skin. ** Female Cavalier #6964 has dense mats on the outer ear flap of both ears. ** Female Cavalier #7688 has a large mat on the outer ear flap of the left ear. The Program of Vet Care prescribes for the dogs to be brushed, clipped, and/or groomed to prevent matted hair coats; and for ears to be examined by the applicant frequently to ensure the ears are clean and healthy. Dirty ears and matted skin can be uncomfortable for the dogs or may be a sign of an underlying problem such as an infection. Correct by following the Program of Vet Care established by your Attending Veterinarian for healthy and unmatted hair coats and clean and healthy ears.

3.9(a) (Non-Critical) – Feeding
There were 5 stainless steel self-feeders that contained multiple pieces of dog food that were not sufficient for consumption. The pieces of dry dog food had a fuzzy, white-grey material growing on them, which appeared to be mold. Some pieces of food were also caked onto the bottom/sides of the feeder. The enclosures these feeders were attached to house a total of 11 dogs. Having food contaminated by mold in the feeders is problematic in case a dog was to ingest the food, which could cause intestinal upset or other illness. Additionally, non-consumable food could increase the potential for attracting pests and causing unpleasant odors in the kennel. It is unclear when the feeders were last cleaned and sanitized. The applicant disposed of the moldy food and cleaned the feeders at the time of the inspection. Correct by ensuring food fed to the dogs is uncontaminated, wholesome, and palatable. This is a 2nd Re-License Inspection for a Class “B” license. The inspection and exit briefing were conducted with the applicant. All items must be in compliance within 1 more inspection or by August 24, 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
