An adult dog was found with untreated dental disease. Barbie, a six-year-old female Yorkie (m/c# 991001898038409) had excessive tarter build up on her canines and molars. On her right side both her canine teeth are halfway covered, while the rest of her teeth are completely covered in a thick hard dark brown buildup. There is a milky white creme like buildup of material at the top of the teeth and under the gum line on the two upper teeth behind the canine. The gums on this side are red and swollen. On her left side the upper canine and the bottom two teeth behind the canine are 3/4 covered while the upper tooth behind the canine and the upper molar are completely covered in a thick hard dark brown buildup. The tooth behind the upper canine and upper molar has gum recession. The gums have recessed so much on the upper back molar the root is visible. The gums on this side are also red and swollen. Poor dental health can cause pain and discomfort to the animal and can lead to further health issues.

2.40(b)(2) (Non-Critical [REPEAT]) – Attending veterinarian and adequate veterinary care (dealers and exhibitors).
An adult dog was found with untreated limping. Helena, a four-year-old female Husky (m/c # 900113001982123) was observed limping on both her right front and back legs. She walked slowly and gingerly with a noticeable limp. The licensee noted that she hadn’t noticed the limping this morning, she has been limping on and off and she has not been seen by the veterinarian for this issue. Untreated limping can cause pain and discomfort to the animal and can lead to further heath issues. This dog must be evaluated by a licensed veterinarian for an accurate diagnosis and to develop an effective treatment plan.

3.6(a)(2)(i) (Non-Critical) – Primary enclosures.
Primary enclosures were found with metal that had sharp points. In three primary enclosures housing approximately five adults and four puppies had sheets of tin metal that were being used in between enclosures to prevent the dogs from seeing each other. In one enclosure with three adult dogs, the dogs pulled the metal away from the main enclosure to squeeze between it and their enclosure, creating a sharp edge. In another enclosure housing one adult dog the metal tin had started to roll down creating sharp edges where if the dog jumped up it could injure his feet. The last enclosure housing the one adult dog and four puppies had metal ties connecting the tin to the enclosure with the sharp points facing inward posing a risk of injury if the adult dog jumped on the enclosure. Failure to maintain housing facilities in good repair can lead to injury of the animals contained in them. The licensee must maintain housing facilities so that they are free of sharp points that might cause injury to the animal. To be corrected by September 10, 2025

3.11(c) (Non-Critical) – Cleaning, sanitization, housekeeping, and pest control.
The facility had unkept areas. In the sheltered building, a metal table cluttered with unused bottles and treats was covered in a thick layer of dust. Also, in the same building in the back corner an accumulation of items was starting to pile up including dog crates, a ladder, metal grates, and other items which also had thick layers of dust covering them. In the shed that contained the food storage there was a huge accumulation of boxes, lots of empty feed bags, and a cart with open straw. These conditions can attract rodents and other pests. The licensee must keep the premises clean, free of accumulation of trash, junk, waste products and discarded matter.
