2.40(b)(2) (Non-Critical) – Attending veterinarian and adequate veterinary care (dealers and exhibitors).
A male standard poodle was observed with matted hair. The head, neck and body had recently been clipped, however all four legs and feet were matted. Matted hair can become painful as it has the potential to lift and pull on the underlying skin. Allowing the hair on a dog to become matted does not constitute proper veterinary care. The licensee must ensure clipping is routinely completed in order to prevent matted hair coats on the dogs. *******Correct by 4/27/2023

3.1(a) (Non-Critical) – Housing facilities, general.
Jagged wire was observed at the bottom of the chain link wire divider which was between two enclosures. Jagged wire protruding into enclosures could possibly allow the dogs to become injured. Facilities must be kept in good repair. The licensee must correct this issue. *********Correct by March 15, 2023 This inspection and exit interview were conducted with the licensee. n
