Three Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (#23, #24, #12) and one Poodle (#16) were sold to a facility in Missouri. The transporter took the form to be signed by the buyer and never returned a copy to the facility. Disposition records of animals sold must be accurate and kept up to date to allow APHIS officials to track the animals’ movements. Each dealer shall make, keep, and maintain records or forms which fully and correctly disclose the acquisition information concerning each dog purchased or otherwise acquired, owned, held, or otherwise in his or her possession or under his or her control, or which is transported, euthanized, sold, or otherwise disposed of by that dealer.

3.13(a)(1) (Non-Critical) – Veterinary care for dogs.
The facility’s Program of Veterinary Care is missing the frequency in which the attending veterinarian will conduct regularly scheduled visits to the premises where dogs are kept. The facility is having the veterinarian come annually but this is not in writing and approved by the attending veterinarian. Regularly scheduled premises visits by the attending veterinarian at least every 12 months ensure the adequacy of veterinary care and other aspects of animal care. The facility must develop a plan in writing with the attending veterinarian how often they will visit the premises. To be corrected by: 9-December-2022.

3.13(a)(2) (Non-Critical) – Veterinary care for dogs.
The facility’s Program of Veterinary Care is missing the frequency of which the veterinarian will conduct head to tail exams on all dogs. Head to tail exams ensure the dogs with potential medical ailments are identified early by the attending veterinarian to prevent potential pain and discomfort. The written program of veterinary care must address the requirements for adequate veterinary care for every dealer and exhibitor in § 2.40 of this subchapter and must include a complete physical examination from head to tail of each dog by the attending veterinarian not less than once every 12 months. The facility must develop a plan in writing with the attending veterinarian for the frequency of head to tail exams on all dogs, no less than every 12 months. To be corrected by: 9-December-2022.

3.13(a)(3) (Non-Critical) – Veterinary care for dogs.
At least 8 adult dogs are not up to date on distemper, parvovirus and rabies vaccines. The dogs listed below were either in heat, pregnant or nursing when the other dogs were vaccinated on Rabies on 1-July-2022 and distemper/parvovirus on 10-June-2022. This caused them to need to be vaccinated once the puppies were weaned. The facility was aware these dogs needed to be vaccinated but had not scheduled a veterinary visit for Rabies or vaccinated the dogs for parvovirus/distemper. Overdue for Distemper, Parvovirus, Rabies: -Little Toot #18- puppies left the facility on 16-September-2022. -Three Toot #19- puppies left the facility on 16-September-2022. -Little Roxie #10- puppies left the facility on 2-October-2022. -Amy #22- puppies left the facility on 16-September-2022. Overdue for Distemper and Parvovirus -Tootsie #20- puppies left the facility on 20-August-2022. -Amber #11- puppies left the facility between 18-July-2022 and 20-August-2022. Overdue for Rabies -Bella #5- was in heat at the time the vaccines were given but never became pregnant. -Izzy #4- was in heat at the time of vaccines given, puppies left the facility this week. Dogs not kept up to date on vaccines may contract contagious and/or deadly diseases, which may cause unnecessary pain and discomfort. Each dealer must follow an appropriate program of veterinary care for dogs that is developed, documented in writing, and signed by the attending veterinarian. The facility must follow the schedule for Distemper, Parvovirus and Rabies vaccines written in the Program of Veterinary Care to protect the dogs from these contagious and/or deadly diseases. The facility must vaccinate all dogs in need of the vaccines listed above, keep a written vaccine record and maintain the vaccine schedule in all dogs from this day forward. To be corrected by: 9-December-2022. The facility has not tested 10% of the kennel for intestinal parasites (intestinal worms, giardia, coccidia) as listed on their Program of Veterinary Care. Failure to follow the parasite control program approved by the Attending Veterinarian may not properly protect the dogs from parasites and may cause illness to go undetected and untreated, which may cause pain and unnecessary discomfort to the dogs. The facility must follow the approved parasite control testing schedule approved by the attending veterinarian to protect the dogs from parasites and other pests (worms, coccidia, giardia and heartworm) and have 10% of the kennel tested annually. To be corrected by: 9-December-2022.

3.13(b)(1) (Non-Critical) – Veterinary care for dogs.
The facility had the head to tail exams done by the attending veterinarian on all dogs on 1-July-2022, but there is no written medical record with the results/findings and identification of each dog examined during this routine exam. The lack of medical records makes it difficult to determine if the animals are receiving the preventative medical assessments and if any medical issues were identified. This information is needed for APHIS inspectors to ensure the medical care is being provided by the facility. The facility must complete and maintain updated medical records including the identity of the animal, including identifying marks, tattoos, or tags on the animal and the animal’s breed, sex, and age; Provided, however, that routine husbandry, such as vaccinations, preventive medical procedures, or treatments, performed on all animals in a group (or herd), may be kept on a single record. The facility must create and keep in writing which dogs were examined by the veterinarian and any results or findings. If any medical issues were identified, a treatment plan must be also created in writing and approved by the veterinarian. To be corrected by: 9-December-2022 This inspection and exit interview were conducted with facility representatives. n

2.50(a)(1) (Non-Critical) – Time and method of identification.
The facility uses collars and tags as their form of official identification for dogs over 16 weeks of age. There were 3 dogs over the age of 16 weeks that were being identified by the official number that was assigned to them at birth on a cage card. Cage cards are not an acceptable form of official identification for dogs over 16 weeks of age. An acceptable form of official identification (listed below) is necessary for APHIS officials to positively identify animals for inspection and to properly trace their movements. All live dogs over the age of 16 weeks shall be identified by an official tag affixed to a collar around the animal’s neck, by a legible tattoo marking approved by the Administrator, or by a microchip placed under the dog’s skin. The licensee must apply one of these forms of identification to the three adult dogs. The licensee must ensure that all dogs have the correct type of official form of identification at all times. To be corrected by: 14-March-2023 This inspection and exit interview were conducted with a facility representative. End Section

2.53 (Non-Critical) – Use of tags.
The licensee reused a collar with the official ID number of 24 on a chocolate dachshund that was previousy assigned for a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel that was sold 2-July-2022. Reusing official identification makes it difficult to properly trace animal movements and identify which dogs are still at a facility. No tag number shall be used to identify more than one animal. No number shall be repeated within a 5-year period. To be corrected by: 28-October-2023

3.13(a)(4) (Direct) – Veterinary care for dogs.
Male Brown and White Cocker Spaniel, tag #31, was severely matted. Both ears were solid tight matting and no skin could be observed, several matts were also present on top of the dog head. All four feet had a long, overgrown hair with matts present between the toes and on top of each foot. There was additional loose matting along the back and belly, feces were present on the feet hair and the hair below the tail. Additionally the nails were severely overgrown and curled to the sides. This dog was partially shaved during inspection with just the feet left to do. Male brown Poodle, tag #15, was severely matted. The haircoat on the dog head was overgrown and hair had to be lifted to observe the dog’s eyes. There were loose matts present around the mouth and chest. Tight matts were present on all four feet, and between the toes, inner legs of hind feet and lower legs on all four feet. There was feces present in the hair under the tail. The nails were overgrown and starting to curl to the side Overgrown and matted hair coats may cause pain and discomfort to the animal as well as increase the chance of skin conditions to develop. Overgrown nails may also cause pain and discomfort as well as significantly change the gait of the animal. The program of veterinary care states that long haired dogs will be groomed once a month and clipped as necessary. These dogs have not been groomed or clipped in several months. The licensee and facility representative are aware these dogs are in need of a grooming but have not completed it yet. The licensee must follow their preventative care and treatment plans to ensure healthy and un-matted hair coats, properly trimmed nails, and clean and healthy eyes, ears, skin, and teeth. The licensee must have these dogs groomed to remove all matting and ensure they follow their preventative care and treatment plan. To be corrected by: 28-October-2023 Chocolate Dachshund, tag #20, had severely overgrown toenails and poor dental health. The front toenails curled to the side and two toes on each front foot crossed over each other. The upper canine teeth are approximately 50% covered in a brown organic material, all upper and lower cheek teeth are completely covered in brown organic material. There is hard, brown/yellow organic material present between each upper incisor tooth. A white, creamy organic material is along the gum line of all upper cheek teeth and canine teeth. The upper gums were mildly reddened. Poor dental disease may cause pain and discomfort as well as lead to additional medical issues if left untreated. Overgrown nails may also cause pain and discomfort as well as significantly change the gait of the animal. The program of veterinary care states nails will be observed and trimmed monthly as needed or when deemed too long. It also states teeth will be observed monthly and will call vet if swollen gums and redness occurs. The licensee and facility representative are aware this dog needs a nail trim and was not aware of the dental disease, but agree the dog needs to be seen by a veterinarian. The licensee must follow their preventative care and treatment plans to ensure healthy and un- matted hair coats, properly trimmed nails, and clean and healthy eyes, ears, skin, and teeth. The licensee must have this dogs nails trimmed and have the teeth examined by a licensed veterinarian and ensure they follow an appropriate preventative care and treatment plan.
