141 dogs recorded (141 age not given).
The wire ties, used to support the white board, in each of the whelping box areas are long and are pointing in toward the enclosure. These wires create the potential for the female and her puppies to be injured. The primary enclosures must be constructed in a way as to have no sharp points or edges that could injure the dogs. Correct by replacing or repairing these wire ties to remove the sharp point from the enclosures. Correct by: October 6, 2016
Flies were found in multiple areas in the dog housing area. The flies were worst in the whelping areas and covered several PVC pipes above the enclosures. Efforts have been made to reduce the number of flies gaining entry into the dog areas, including the use of screens. Pests and their feces can serve as a source of infection for the dogs in the kennel. Correct by establishing a pest control program that effectively controls all pests, including flies, and prevents contamination of the environment by pests and their feces. Correct by: October 22, 2016
41 dogs recorded (33 adults · 8 puppies).
No recorded date for fecal float testing for 33 dogs had been completed at time of inspection. Annual fecal float testing is important for the health of the animals. Fecal float testing is done to ensure that there are no active internal parasites. The licensee must ensure that all dogs are receiving vaccinations for contagious and/or deadly diseases of dogs (including rabies, parvovirus, and distemper) and sampling and treatment of parasites and other pests (including fleas, worms, coccidia, giardia, and heartworm) in accordance with a schedule approved by the attending veterinarian. Correct by 5/6/23.
43 dogs recorded (30 adults · 13 puppies).
One dog has been identified at the facility as requiring veterinary care. The facility had identified the dental issue prior to the inspection. However, the facility representative did not think that veterinary care was necessary at this time. A red male poodle (tag #70, microchip #450) that is approximately 7 years old has severe gum recession on the upper and lower jaw. The roots of the teeth are exposed, and multiple teeth are mobile when minimal pressure applied. Additionally, there are multiple teeth missing on the top and lower jaw. This issue was identified while performing the physical examination of the dog when the inspector observed movement in the teeth with minimum pressure applied to the gums. Failure to provide appropriate methods to properly diagnose and treat dental problems in a timely manner may result in difficulty eating, pain, and suffering. Correct by ensuring that the animal listed above, and the condition of the animal are reported to the attending veterinarian so that the animal can be properly examined, diagnosed, and treated. The outcome of this consultation including the diagnosis, treatment plan and how the condition will be resolved must be documented and provided to the inspector upon request. The licensee must ensure all animals receive adequate veterinary care. The animal listed here must be seen by a veterinarian by 5:00pm on 11-June-2025.
The facility has not administered rabies vaccinations for 30 adult dogs in accordance with the schedule outlined in the program of veterinary care. Failure to follow a written and Attending Veterinarian approved schedule for vaccinations of contagious and/or deadly diseases can result in an increased risk of disease exposure in the dogs. The facility must ensure that vaccinations for contagious and/or deadly diseases of dogs (including rabies, parvovirus and distemper) and sampling and treatment of parasites and other pests (including fleas, worms, coccidia, giardia, and heartworm) in accordance with a schedule approved by the attending veterinarian are administered. Correct by, 20-June-2025.
47 dogs recorded (29 adults · 18 puppies).
The licensee had one corrective measure that was followed but was not documented. The licensee corrected this issue during the inspection. Corrected on: 7/2/2025
32 dogs recorded (23 adults · 9 puppies).
One female mini poodle (microchip #94169, Tag 13) was identified by the inspector as being severely underweight. The dog born on 7/19/2025 had been placed into a heated indoor housing area after it was found to be unable to re-enter the heated portion of the run earlier this morning at approximately 7:30 AM. The flap door to the entrance of the heated area was not obstructed. The facility representative had not identified the animal as being underweight or requiring veterinary care. At the time of the inspection the vet had not been contacted. The dogs' neck is extremely thin, the spinal vertebrae are clearly observed, and the pelvic bones are protruding. When the inspector physically examined the dog her spine, hips, and ribs were easily felt under the haircoat. Failure to adequately observe animals daily to identify veterinary care conditions or communicating veterinary issues to a veterinarian can lead to worsening of the condition, delay in treatments, or death. Correct by ensuring that the animals and conditions listed above are reported to the attending veterinarian so that the animal can be properly examined, diagnosed, and treated. Additionally, ensure that daily observation of animals is adequate to identify those signs of abnormal health and behavior and that there is direct and frequent communication of those observations to the attending veterinarian. Correct by 5:00 PM on 08-April-2026.
1 dog recorded (1 adult · 0 puppies).
One female mini poodle (microchip #94169, Tag 13) born on 07/19/2025 (9 months old) was identified by the inspector as being severely underweight during the inspection on 7 April 2026. Since that inspection, the licensee stated he dewormed the dog but could not get into the attending veterinarian to have the dog evaluated before the correction date given of 5:00pm of April 8. The dog's neck is extremely thin, the spinal vertebrae are clearly observed, and the pelvic bones are protruding. The dog was physically examined by an Animal Care Inspector and two Veterinary Medical Officers. When the inspectors physically examined the dog, her spine, hips, and ribs were easily seen and felt under the haircoat. The animal was trembling and hunched over while being examined. At the time of this inspection, the dog still has not been evaluated by a licensed veterinarian. Failure to adequately observe animals daily to identify veterinary care conditions or communicating veterinary issues to a veterinarian can lead to worsening of the condition, delay in treatments, or death. Correct by ensuring that the animals and conditions listed above are reported to the attending veterinarian so that the animal can be properly examined, diagnosed, and treated. Additionally, ensure that daily observation of animals is adequate to identify those signs of abnormal health and behavior and that there is direct and frequent communication of those observations to the attending veterinarian. Correct by 5:00 PM on 09-April-2026.
36 dogs recorded (28 adults · 8 puppies).
The licensee is not currently using appropriate methods to treat an eye condition. The left of eye of dog #13 appeared cloudy on the surface with a brownish-red centralized area and reddened sclera. There is an oily, silvery substance in the hair around the eye. The licensee was treating this eye with neomycin ophthalmic ointment once daily last week, but ran out. He then switched to using two different topical wound treatments, an M&J Wonder Healing solution and a Vetericyn umbilical and navel wound spray on the eye. Neither of these latter products are included in the program of veterinary care's instructions for eye problems. Inspectors contacted the attending veterinarian and described the current treatments (M&J and Vetericyn), which the attending veterinarian did not believe were appropriate methods to treat the eye condition as described. Using methods other than those prescribed by the attending veterinarian, or as written in the program of veterinary care, to treat conditions can actually cause more harm and are not consistent with adequate veterinary care. Correct by using appropriate methods, including only those prescribed or as written in the program of veterinary care by the attending veterinarian, to prevent, diagnose, control, and treat diseases and injuries. Correct beginning 7/30/26.
The facility does not have an effective pest control program in place to control flying insects in the kennel. Inspectors observed excessive numbers of insects flying/landing on the floor, walls, and dishes in the kennel housing 9 adult dogs and 8 puppies. The facility did have multiple large fly tapes hanging in the facility. However, the fly tapes were no longer effective due to the number of insects already attached. Failure to ensure that an effective pest control program is in place can lead to disease spread and stress in the animals. The facility must establish and maintain an effective program for the control of insects, external parasites affecting dogs and cats, and birds and mammals that are pests so as to promote the health and well-being of the animals and reduce contamination by pests in animal areas. Correct by, 03-August-2026.
The licensee did not make a medical record for the treatments he used for an eye condition. Dog #13 had an eye condition the licensee stated began last week and he initiated treatments, but did not make an appropriate medical record of the problem, names, and dates of treatments given. Complete medical records are necessary to ensure dogs have received appropriate care. Correct by making medical records for any problems identified that include the dog's identification, a description of the problem, the date identified, the results of any examinations or testing, and the names and dates of all treatments given. Correct starting 7/30/26.
