2.75(b)(1) (Non-Critical) – Records: Dealers and exhibitors.
A current record of guinea pigs on hand was not available for review during this inspection. A total of 1,869 adult, weanling, and newborn guinea pigs were counted during this inspection. Failure to maintain these records can make it difficult to assess the health of the colony by identifying animal losses by deaths or decreased numbers of animals born and to track animals being used in regulated activities to ensure their humane care and use. The facility must maintain records containing the required information for animals which fully and correctly disclose the number of animals held, owned, and acquired or disposed of including births and deaths.

3.8 (Non-Critical) – Exercise for dogs.
A written exercise plan for dogs was not available for review. The facility houses dogs in groups or individually and the enclosures provide adequate floor space to meet exercise requirements. Failure to provide a written exercise plan may result in lack of sufficient exercise to maintain physical health and well- being of the dogs. Dealers must develop, document, and follow an appropriate plan, approved by the attending veterinarian, to provide dogs with the opportunity for exercise and the plan must be available to APHIS upon request.
