(c) Surfaces-- (3) Cleaning. ***In the puppy room there was an enclosure that had contained nine puppies. The puppies had been moved to other enclosures for cleaning and were to be moved back as soon as the floor dried according to the facility representative. In the Bio room, there was a puppy box that contained nine puppies. The walls and portions of the gate in the puppy room and the walls of the puppy box in the Bio room had a build up of dirty oil. There were at least two housing units in the outdoor enclosures that had a build up of dust and/or urine. According to the facility representative, the surfaces are cleaned every two weeks. Cleaning of hard surfaces is essential for a healthy environment and reduces disease hazards by eliminating harboring places for diseases and pests. The licensee must asssure that all hard surfaces with which the dogs come in contact are spot cleaned daily and sanitized in accordance with Sec. 3.11(b) of this subpart to prevent accumulation of build up and reduce disease hazards.

Sec. 3.6 Primary enclosures (a) General requirements. (2) Primary enclosures must: (i) Have no sharp points or edges that could injure the dogs. ***In the puppy room, the interior of the gate to an enclosure that had contained nine puppies which had been moved for cleaning purposes, had a piece of plywood that had chewed areas from the top to the bottom on the right side. In the outdoor facility, There was a piece of solid wall covering in an enclosure with one adult dog that had been chewed. Both of these chewed surfaces created edges that could injure animals that are placed into these enclosures. The licensee must remove the sharp edges and assure that there are no sharp points or edges in the primary enclosures as required. To be corrected by August 31, 2014.

At the time of inspection, one outdoor enclosure contained two large breed dogs that had access to one shelter structure. This one shelter structure did not provide enough space for even one of these large dogs. Inadequate shelter space causes the dogs to be exposed to the elements which can result in discomfort from wet conditions, wind, and temperature extremes. The licensee must ensure that outdoor facilities for dogs include one or more shelter structures that are accessible to each animal in each outdoor facility, and that are large enough to allow each animal in the shelter structure to sit, stand, and lie in a normal manner, and to turn about freely.
