If the licensee uses microchips as official identification, then a functioning microchip reader must be made available to the inspector at time of facility inspection. In addition, a variance from the regional office to use microchips must be maintained on file by the licensee. Correct by 3/15/23.

2.75(a)(1) (Non-Critical) – Records: Dealers and exhibitors.
* There was no record of inventory observed on seven unweaned puppies born at the facility.

3.1(c)(2) (Non-Critical) – Housing facilities, general.
* An estimated 1/2 inch gap in the cement flooring was observed in the whelp building housing 22 dogs. A mixture of water and fecal waste was observed in the gap area. In addition, water and fecal waste was observed on the cement floor next to the gap area. Accumulations of dirt, debris, food waste, excreta, and other disease hazards can collect in the gap area creating unsanitary conditions. In addition, the affected area cannot be readily cleaned and sanitized. The licensee must fill all gaps with a material that will allow the cement surfaces to be readily cleaned and sanitized on a routine basis. Correct by 3/1/23.

3.1(c)(3) (Non-Critical) – Housing facilities, general.
* There is a mixture of dirt, grease and other excreta accumulating on the interior painted wood wall of two enclosures. Four dogs are in contact with the affected surfaces located in indoor housing. The affected area covers approximately 20 to 30 percent of the interior wall area. Cleaning of surfaces is necessary to prevent an accumulation of excreta and other disease hazards. This indicates an unsanitary living condition exists that could lead to potential disease or health risks. Surfaces which are not cleaned and sanitized properly increase the risk of disease hazards for the dogs. Cleanliness is important to the health and well-being of the animals. All surfaces of housing facilities must be cleaned and sanitized when necessary to satisfy generally accepted husbandry standards and practices. The licensee must ensure that hard surfaces with which the dogs come in contact must be spot cleaned daily and sanitized in accordance with 3.11 (B) of this sub part to prevent accumulation of excreta and reduce disease hazards.

* An estimated 1/2 inch wide gap by 3 feet long in the cement flooring was observed in the whelp building housing 17 adult dogs. A mixture of water, waste (white in color), wet dog food kibbles was observed in the gap area. In addition, water and food waste was observed on the cement floor around the gap area. Accumulations of dirt, debris, food waste, excreta, and other disease hazards can collect in the gap area creating unsanitary conditions. In addition, the affected area cannot be readily cleaned and sanitized. For required cleaning and the reduction of disease hazards and pests, the licensee must fill all gaps with a material that will allow the cement surfaces to be readily cleaned and sanitized on a routine basis.

3.1(c)(3) (Non-Critical [REPEAT]) – Housing facilities, general.
* There is an accumulation of dust, cob webs and dog hair on the chain link fencing for the enclosures located in the Quonset Hut Kennel.

These surfaces had an accumulation of brown grime and or dust. The affected area covers approximately 20 to 30 percent of the interior wall area and PVC pipe. Cleaning of surfaces is necessary to prevent an accumulation of excreta, dust, debris and other disease hazards. This indicates an unsanitary living condition exists that could lead to potential disease or health risks. Surfaces which are not cleaned and sanitized properly increase the risk of disease hazards for the dogs. For the health and well-being of the animals. All surfaces of housing facilities must be cleaned and sanitized when necessary to satisfy generally accepted husbandry standards and practices.

3.1(e) (Non-Critical) – Housing facilities, general.
* Two plastic bales of woodchip bedding was stored directly on top of the concrete flooring. These plastic bales had an accumulation of wet soiled wood chips and waste around them on the concrete. There was and open plastic bale of woodchips and a half plastic barrel of trash that was uncovered. This doesn’t protect possible spoilage, contamination, and vermin infestation, therefore affecting the health and well-being of the 10 adult dogs and six puppies. For the protection of the supplies from spoilage, and vermin infestation that affects the health and well-being of the dogs, all supplies must be stored off the concrete away from the walls to allow for required cleaning and prevent spoilage. All open supplies must be kept in leakproof containers with tightly fitting lids to prevent contamination and spoilage. To be corrected by, 25-May-23.

3.1(f) (Non-Critical [REPEAT]) – Housing facilities, general.
* There is a mixture of water, bedding and animal waste collecting next to the area where two bags of bagged woodchip bedding is stored.

The two bags are laying directly on the concrete with the wet woodchip bedding and animal waste It creates potential unsanitary conditions and could lead to potential disease, contamination, or health risks. Cleaning of the ground floor area must be maintained in order to minimize fecal and urine contamination, vermin and pest infestation, insects, odors, and other disease hazards. Odors, insects, disease hazards, and pest infestation from fecal and organic material accumulations can have an adverse effect on the health and well-being of the animals at this facility. For the minimization of contamination and disease hazards, the licensee must provide for regular and frequent removal of water and other fluids.

3.6(a)(2)(i) (Non-Critical) – Primary enclosures.
* The end enclosure far from the entry door, in the Quonset Building, houses two adult dogs. The 2″ by 4″ wire enclosure fencing was bent, broken and exposing sharp protruding points along the bottom. These points could injure the two adult dogs. For the prevention of injury, all enclosures must be free of sharp protruding points and jagged edges. To be corrected by, 25-May-2023.

3.11(b)(2) (Non-Critical) – Cleaning, sanitization, housekeeping, and pest control.
* The end enclosure in the Quonset Building housing two adult dogs has a plastic PVC pipe feeder with an accumulation of brown grime on the surface. This indicates the the feed receptacles are not being cleaned as necessary to prevent an accumulation of waste on the surface. The result of improper cleaning and sanitization of feed and water receptacles can increase disease hazards, insects, pest and odors. Therefore, affecting the health of the dogs. For the prevention of an accumulation of feces and food waste, disease hazards, insects, pests and odors that affect the dogs’ health, all feed and water receptacles must be cleaned and sanitized as often as necessary. To be corrected by, 25-May-23.

3.11(c) (Non-Critical [REPEAT]) – Cleaning, sanitization, housekeeping, and pest control.
* In the Whelping Kennel housing 17 adult dogs, where the back walls and ceiling meet directly above the dogs’ enclosures had an accumulation of cob webs and dust. There was an accumulation of brown cob webs hanging from the ceiling over the enclosures housing dogs. The PVC pipe water line fasten to the back wall above five enclosures had and accumulation of brown dirt on the pipe. The two windows above two dog enclosures had an accumulation of cob webs, dead flies and dust. The plastic food storage containers in this kennel have an accumulation of grey to brown dirt and debris on their surfaces. * The Quonset Hut Kennel had an accumulation of bird fecal waste, soiled wood chips (sawdust) and wet woodchips, empty dog food bags, plastic straps, fecal waste, PVC pipe on the concrete flooring around the husbandry and food and bedding storage areas. These areas were along the dog enclosures housing 10 adult dogs and six puppies. The was an accumulation of soiled woodchips, bird fecal waste, brown to grey dust, cardboard boxes, dirty plastic buckets, dirty plastic storage sleeves were stored on top of two tables. The food stage containers have and accumulation of brown to grey dust on top of the lids in this kennel. The end enclosure had chewed black netting along the bottom of the 2″ by 4″ wire fencing. This can attract and provide living and breeding areas for rodents, insects, other pests and vermin. As a result, this can affect the health and well-being of dogs. All housing facilities must be kept clean and free of accumulation of discarded matter. This will facilitate pest control, thus protecting the health and well-being of the dogs.
