3.1(a) (Non-Critical) – Housing facilities, general.
* Dug holes were observed under the enclosure divider fencing in two outdoor enclosures. The holes range in size from six inches to a foot in depth and an estimated foot in length. Six dogs are in contact with the affected divider fencing. The dogs could become entrapped in the holes under the divider fencing. In addition, one of the divider panels had exposed ends protruding downwards into the dug hole. This affects the ability of enclosure divider fencing to contain the dogs securely. It could lead to potential injury if the dogs try to escape under the fencing, affecting the safety and health of the dogs. The licensee must be kept in good repair, and they must protect the animals from injury, contain the animals securely, and restrict other animals from entering. Correct by 2/24/22.

3.10(c) (Non-Critical) – Watering
* The tops of six plastic water receptacles were chewed with sharp, jagged edges. Twelve dogs are in contact with the affected receptacles located in outdoor housing. A jagged, roughened surface cannot be adequately cleaned and sanitized when the protective coating has been chewed. Sharp, jagged edges could potentially cause injury if the dog chews on the receptacle. The licensee must ensure that all water receptacles can be readily cleaned and sanitized or be replaced when worn. Correct by 2/24/22. This inspection and exit interview done on 2/10/22 were conducted with the licensee. End Section

No violations recorded (clean inspection).

2.75(a)(1) (Non-Critical) – Records: Dealers and exhibitors.
* The cage card information attached to multiple enclosures containing 105 (unweaned) puppies was incomplete. The identification, breed and sex of the puppies were missing. Complete and accurate records are needed to ensure each puppy identity can be known with certainty and to facilitate the ability to trace all puppies. The licensee must maintain complete and accurate records of all puppies at their facility. Correct by 4/14/23.

3.1(c)(3) (Non-Critical) – Housing facilities, general.
* There is a mixture of dirt accumulating on the top of an estimated 20 fiberglass calf hutch enclosures. Fifty dogs are in contact with the affected surfaces located in outdoor housing. The affected area covers the entire top of the calf hutch. 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 applicant 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. Correct by 3/16/23.

3.13(a)(3) (Non-Critical) – Veterinary care for dogs.
* The licensee could not locate the last recorded date for annual heartworm, and fecal float testing for 236 adult dogs. Annual heartworm and fecal float testing are important for the health of the animals. Heartworm and fecal float testing is done to ensure that there are no active internal parasites. The licensee must ensure that all dogs are receiving vaccinations for contagious and/or deadly diseases of dogs (including rabies, parvovirus, and distemper) and sampling and treatment of parasites and other pests (including fleas, worms, coccidia, giardia, and heartworm) in accordance with a schedule approved by the attending veterinarian. Correct by 4/14/23. This inspection and exit interview were conducted with the licensee. End Section
