2.40(b)(2) (Non-Critical) – Attending veterinarian and adequate veterinary care (dealers and exhibitors).
There is a large container of expired safe-guard (fenbendazole) being stored in the medication cabinet. When asked if the facility has any other safe-guard available or being used at the facility the facility representative stated this is the only safe-guard on hand. The container has an expiration date stamp of January 2024. Medications being used past the expiration date have unknown efficacy and potency; thus, they may no longer be efficacious for the labeled indications of use.

2.75(a)(1) (Non-Critical) – Records: Dealers and exhibitors.
The facility is not maintaining adequate records of acquisition and disposition. Cage cards are used for acquisition records for litters of puppies; however, they do not contain all of the required information such as: USDA license number, individual puppy identification numbers, gender of each puppy, color and any distinctive marking, and date of disposition as required by the Animal Welfare Act Regulations subpart 2.75(a)(1)(i-ix). Accurate record keeping is essential so that APHIS inspectors can adequately identify the movement of dogs into and out of the facility, especially in cases of loss or theft. Each dealer shall make, keep, and maintain records for forms which fully and correctly disclose the information concerning each dog purchased or otherwise acquired, owned, held, or which is transported, sold, or otherwise disposed of by that dealer. The records shall include any offspring born to any animal while in his or her control. Correct by maintaining complete records for acquisition by 16 April 2025.

3.13(a)(3) (Non-Critical) – Veterinary care for dogs.
The facility is not following the program of veterinary care for vaccinations. The Program of Veterinary Care currently prescribes dogs will be vaccinated for rabies at 16 weeks of age, booster at 1 year, and every 3 years going forward. The program currently prescribes dogs will be vaccinated for distemper, parvovirus, and leptospirosis at 11 weeks of age, 16 weeks of age, and annually going forward. 8 adult dogs do not have a record of a current rabies vaccine: -#3799 Mittens DOB 15 March 2024 -#3797 Mocha DOB 15 March 2024 -#3779 Muffin DOB 15 March 2024 -#8006 Carol DOB 11 June 2024 -#8004 Kenzy DOB 11 June 2024 -#3823 Kali DOB 23 July 2024 -#3825 Kloe DOB 23 July 2024 -#9087 Faith DOB 8 November 2024 6 adult dogs do not have a record of a current distemper, parvovirus, or leptospirosis: -#3799 Mittens DOB 15 March 2024 -#3797 Mocha DOB 15 March 2024 -#3779 Muffin DOB 15 March 2024 -#8006 Carol DOB 11 June 2024 -#8004 Kenzy DOB 11 June 2024 -#3825 Kloe DOB 23 July 2024 2 adult dogs are not up to date on their distemper, parvovirus, or leptospirosis vaccines: -#3823 Kali DOB 23 July 2024 with the last administered DAPP vaccine at 8 weeks of age. -#9087 Faith DOB 8 November 2024 with the last administered DAPP vaccine on 6 February 2025. Failure to follow the preventative care schedule for vaccinations in the Program of Veterinary Care does not ensure the dogs are receiving appropriate protection against contagious and deadly diseases such as distemper, parvo, leptospirosis, and rabies which can lead to illness and discomfort to the dogs. The facility must follow the vaccination schedule approved by the attending veterinarian in the Program of Veterinary Care to protect the dogs from deadly or contagious diseases.
