3.9(a) (Non-Critical) – Feeding
The food being provided in a self-feeding receptacle for 2 adult dogs is not being adequately protected from contamination. The food receptacle has an open top and is oriented below a post holding a deep cell battery that has excessive corrosion present. The wooden frame holding the battery has an approximately 1-inch of yellow/orange/white buildup around the base and there is dried liquid residue down the frame. Failure to ensure that food is free of contamination can lead to ingestion of toxic substances and negatively impact the health of the animals. The licensee must ensure that food is uncontaminated, wholesome, palatable, and of sufficient quantity and nutritive value to maintain the normal condition and weight of the animal.
