The facility does not maintain complete medical records for adult dogs. The facility states that the adult dogs were up to date on Distemper, Parvovirus, and Rabies vaccines, but they could not provide documentation for most vaccines administered. Failure to maintain adequate medical records may interfere with the ability of APHIS officials to determine if the animals are receiving adequate veterinary care. Complete medical records must be maintained and include the names of all vaccines and treatments administered and the dates of administration. Correct by documenting all treatments given and ensure that medical records are complete and contain the required information. Correct by 26-MAR-2026.

3.13(b)(4) (Non-Critical) – Veterinary care for dogs.
The facility was unable to provide documentation of heartworm or fecal tests performed. The facility stated that the tests are performed in accordance with the schedule in the Program of Veterinary Care but they could not provide the test results. Failure to document testing results may interfere with the ability of APHIS officials to determine if the animals are receiving adequate veterinary care. Medical records must be maintained and include the dates and findings/results of all screening, routine, or other required or recommended test or examination. Correct by documenting the results of all testing and ensure that medical records are complete and contain the required information. Correct by 26-MAR-2026.

2.40(b)(2) (Non-Critical) – Attending veterinarian and adequate veterinary care (dealers and exhibitors).
The facility states they administered an expired vaccine to animals. A box of Bordetella vaccines were found with an expiration of 8-APRIL-2026. The facility stated they administered this vaccine to four dachshund puppies after the expiration date but there have been no impacts on the animals. Expired medications are improper for usage as they may not be effective at preventing disease or they may cause harm to the animals. Each dealer or exhibitor shall establish and maintain programs of adequate veterinary care that include the use of appropriate methods to prevent, control, diagnose, and treat diseases and injuries. Correct by ensuring all medications used on animals have not expired. The facility disposed of the vaccines at the time of inspection. This is a 1st Re-License Inspection for a Class “A” license. The inspection and exit briefing were conducted with the applicant. All items must be in compliance within 2 more inspections or by August 8, 2026 or the applicant will forfeit the license fee and must wait 6 months to reapply. Please contact your inspector to schedule your next Re-License Inspection. Regulated activity can continue under your existing USDA license until it expires. n
