2.40(b)(2) (Direct) – Attending veterinarian and adequate veterinary care (dealers and exhibitors).
Two dogs were in need of veterinary care that had not been provided veterinary care at the time of inspection. The first dog was an approximately 3 year old female poodle (microchip #900217000187655) that had wounds covering its body. In addition, the dog was limping on its left rear leg. The licensee stated the dog was in a dog fight two days ago. Another dog, an approximately 7 year old female poodle (microchip #900111881600916), had an open wound on its abdomen. I originally observed the dog sitting in the corner with a black substance on the upper part of its left rear leg. Upon closer observation, I observed an open wound on its abdomen and a reddish/pinkish liquid oozing/dripping off of the dog. In addition, the dog appeared to have a very difficult time moving around and appeared to be either extremely uncomfortable or in pain. The dog seemed to be lethargic. Not providing adequate veterinary care doesn’t ensure the well being of either dog. Both dogs appear to be uncomfortable and in pain. Untreated open wounds can become infected and cause further problems. The licensee must have both dogs examined by the attending veterinarian so that an accurate diagnosis can be made, and an appropriate treatment plan can be developed and followed. The licensee must ensure that all animals receive adequate veterinary care at all times by providing the use of appropriate methods to prevent, control, diagnose, and treat diseases and injuries. Correct by 7/22/25. Note: The licensee contacted the attending veterinarian during inspection and the attending veterinarian will be coming out to examine both dogs today.

3.8 (Non-Critical) – Exercise for dogs.
At the time of inspection there was no written exercise plan available for review despite dogs over 12 weeks of age being present at the facility. Exercise for dogs is critical for healthy development and psychological well-being. The licensee must develop, document, and follow an appropriate plan to provide dogs with the opportunity for exercise. In addition, the plan must be approved by the attending veterinarian. The plan must include written standard procedures to be followed in providing the opportunity for exercise. Correct starting on 8/22/25.

3.10(a) (Direct) – Watering
During the inspection, I observed a Golden Retreiver trying to stick its head under the fence to lick up the water that pooled up under the watering nipple in the enclosure adjacent to it’s enclosure. I asked the licensee to test the watering nipple and no water was coming out when she pushed down on it. She provided the three dogs in that enclosure with a bowl of water and I observed them to be drinking out of that bowl non-stop for approximately 30-45 seconds. Dogs that don’t have access to water can result in the dog becoming sick and potentially lead to death. It is important for all dogs to have continuous access to potable water to maintain good health and hydration. Correct by making sure all watering nipples are in working order and/or providing all dogs continuous access to potable water. Correct starting on 7/22/25. This inspection and exit interview were conducted with the licensee. End of report. n

2.40(b)(3) (Direct) – Attending veterinarian and adequate veterinary care (dealers and exhibitors).
A female maltese (microchip #900164001625419) had hair loss on the top of its head along with an open wound and dried up blood surrounding the wound. The licensee had observed the hair loss prior to inspection, but had not observed the open wound prior to inspection and was not treating the dog. A tan female Doodle (microchip #900217000187652) was observed to be limping on its left rear leg. There were no obvious wounds or injuries to the leg during examination. The licensee had not observed this dog to be limping prior to inspection. Failure to conduct thorough daily observations to identify health problems and communicate them in a timely manner to the attending veterinarian can lead to unnecessary pain and lead to serious health problems due to lack of appropriate treatment. Veterinary care issues must be identified and communicated in a timely manner to the attending veterinarian so they can be adequately treated by or under the guidance of the attending veterinarian. The licensee must observe all dogs on a daily basis. Correct starting on 11/21/25. This inspection and exit interview were conducted with the licensee. End of report. n
