The Licensee stated that the dog had recently been clipped and that he had not noticed these areas or started treatment prior to today's inspection.

On today's inspection, there were 26 self-feeders with a heavy to excessive accumulation of black matter adhered to the inside lip of the feeder where the dogs eat and/or on the side walls where the food is put in or held while in the self-feeder. These feeders are not being cleaned often enough to prevent the accumulation of dirt, debris, food and other potential disease hazards. The Licensee must ensure that all cleaning protocols for the kennel include a method of cleaning all of the food receptacles (self-feeders) as often as necessary to meet the standards set forth in this subpart.

235 dogs recorded (158 adults · 77 puppies).
Female Pomeranian #128 was observed awkwardly sitting in the corner of her enclosure with one hind leg raised while other animals were jumping and stepping on her. Upon further examination, there was a circular area of hair loss with reddened skin on the backside of the left hind leg, and the skin on the top of her vulva was swollen and reddened as well. When the inspectors asked the licensee to remove her from her enclosure and place her on the floor to prompt her to move, she was very reluctant and only moved for a few steps before she sat down in the same awkward position and began licking those areas. When the licensee was asked about this dog's disposition, he stated no issues have been previously identified with her, but she was always "a sitter." He also identified previous animals of her lineage as having similar issues, but did not communicate with the veterinarian about these previous issues. A lack of daily observation in conjunction with the lack of direct and frequent communication with the attending veterinarian prolongs pain and discomfort by not allowing health problems to be addressed in a timely manner. Ensure daily observations of any abnormal behaviors or issues have been identified and communicated with your attending veterinarian within a timely manner.
