A female black and tan, six-year-old Yorkshire Terrier (“Joey Leguire” microchip# 605*259*071) has poor dental health. Approximately, half the surface of the upper left canine tooth is covered in a thick buildup of grey colored organic material. Almost the entire surface of the upper left premolars and molars are covered in a thick buildup of grey colored organic material. Above one premolar the gums appear reddened and swollen. Three quarters of the upper right canine tooth and upper right incisors are covered in a thick buildup of grey colored organic material and appear blackened with recessed gums. Almost the entire surface of the upper right premolars and molars are covered in a thick buildup of grey colored organic material. The condition of the dog’s teeth has not been identified by the facility, and no treatment has been provided. A female orange sable, nine-year-old Pomeranian (“Grassy Ridge” microchip #s 608*267*007/991001002905801) has poor dental health. Approximately one quarter of the surface of the upper left canine tooth is covered in a thick buildup of dark grey colored organic material. Almost the entire surface of two of the upper left premolars and molars are covered in a thick buildup of grey colored organic material and appear to have swollen gums. The condition of the dog’s teeth has not been identified by the facility, and no treatment has been provided. The licensee stated that she checks the dogs’ teeth approximately every six months. The licensee also stated she was unaware of the dogs’ poor dental health. Poor dental health can cause pain and discomfort and lead to further health issues. Each dealer must use appropriate methods to prevent, control, diagnose, and treat diseases and injuries. The licensee must have this dog evaluated by a veterinarian for an accurate diagnosis and to develop an effective treatment plan. The licensee must also ensure that each dog receives adequate veterinary care at all times. To be corrected by: The licensee was verbally told these dogs needed to be evaluated by a veterinarian by 9-June-2026. This inspection and exit interview were conducted with the licensee. n
