What inspectors wrote

October 30, 2023 — Routine inspection, USDA 31-A-0981

41 dogs recorded (15 adults · 26 puppies).

  • Needle and syringe reused between dogs

    The licensee is not using appropriate equipment while vaccinating dogs at the facility. The licensee reports using one needle and syringe combination multiple times among individual dogs, dipping the needle into rubbing alcohol to clean it between injections. The APHIS official discussed this practice with the veterinarian and that is not a protocol that the veterinarian has recommended or endorses. Using a needle and syringe multiple times is problematic because it can greatly dull the needle, thus resulting in more tissue damage at insertion. Additionally, the risk of bacteria contaminating a tank of vaccines or being injected into the tissue of a dog is markedly increased. This kind of contamination can lead to abscess formation under the skin of a dog, which is a painful process that requires medical treatment. The facility needs to ensure they are using the appropriate equipment (in this case a clean needle and syringe with each vaccine on each dog) while administering preventative care to the dogs. Correct from October 30, 2023, onward.

  • Pomeranian not examined after birthing (Critical)

    The licensee did not follow the recommendations of the veterinarian regarding the care of a female Pomeranian named “Krackers”. “Krackers” whelped a litter of seven puppies on October 8, 2023. The licensee reports she had hard mammary glands shortly thereafter and was not producing milk. The licensee called the veterinarian, and an examination of the dog was recommended. The licensee did not have an examination for “Krackers” performed. Hard mammary glands and decreased milk production may be signs of mammary infection or inflammation. This is a painful disorder and sometimes the mother will not allow the puppies to nurse due to pain. If the mother will not allow puppies to nurse, they can become malnourished or starve. The cage card for this litter states 6 of the 7 puppies died within 3 days of birth. When the licensee recognizes an abnormal medical condition, a prompt assessment of the animal needs to be made so that pain and suffering can be minimized. This begins by following the recommendations of the veterinarian so that the correct steps can be taken to appropriately diagnose, treat, control, or prevent diseases or injuries. Correct by ensuring that the Program of Vet Care and recommendations from the veterinarian are followed for guidance on the well-being and care of the dogs at the facility. Correct from October 30, 2023, onward.

  • Disposition records missing buyer and vehicle info

    The licensee is not generating complete records of animal disposition. - The records of disposition (APHIS Form 7006) do not include the vehicle license number and State, and/or the driver’s license number (or photographic identification card for non-drivers issued by a State) and State of the buyer, if he or she is not licensed or registered under the Act. - Full addresses for intermediate transporters and their respective USDA registration numbers are not consistently being included on the records of disposition. - The date of disposition is not consistently being included on records of disposition. - The designation of “sale”, “exchange or transfer”, and “donation” are not consistently being included on the records of disposition. Failure to include all the required disposition information may not allow APHIS officials to properly track the movement and care of animals covered by the Animal Welfare Act. Each dealer shall make, keep, and maintain records or forms which fully and correctly disclose the information concerning each dog purchased or otherwise acquired, owned, held, or otherwise in his or her possession or under his or her control, or which is transported, euthanized, sold, or otherwise disposed of by that dealer. The licensee must ensure that records are complete and correctly disclose the required information. Correct from October 30, 2023, onward.

  • Pomeranian medical record not created

    The licensee did not create and maintain a medical record for a female Pomeranian, “Krackers”, after whelping. The licensee states that the dog had hard mammary glands and only a little milk shortly after whelping. The licensee started the dog on an antibiotic but does not remember which antibiotic or from where the antibiotic came. Failure to maintain medical records regarding health conditions of the animals and treatments given does not allow APHIS officials to determine if adequate veterinary care was provided. If a problem is identified (such as a disease, injury, or illness), the date and description of the problem, examination findings, test results, plan for treatment and care, and treatment procedures performed must be documented. Correct by documenting all health conditions and treatments given to ensure that medical records are complete. Correct from October 30, 2023, onward.

33 dogs recorded (21 adults · 12 puppies).

  • Puppies transported without health certificates

    The applicant is not getting health certificates for puppies prior to being transported by an intermediate handler for sale in commerce. On September 9, 2024, October 20, 2024, and December 4, 2024, the applicant had shipments with a total of thirteen puppies being delivered to buyers by intermediate handlers, for which none of the puppies had an accompanying health certificate. Health certificates are important to ensure that the puppies are free from communicable and/or contagious diseases prior to shipment. Correct by ensuring that any dog or puppy delivered to any intermediate handler for transportation in commerce is accompanied by a health certificate executed and issued by a licensed veterinarian. Correct by: January 20, 2025, onward.

  • Insufficient fecal parasite testing

    The facility is not following the Program of Vet Care (PVC) for fecal sample testing. The PVC prescribes for 10% of adults to be randomly tested on a yearly basis and 10% of total puppy litter numbers be tested yearly. On April 24, 2024, the licensee had one adult fecal sample tested. No additional adult or puppy fecal samples were tested in 2024. The adult kennel population is typically between 15-22 dogs, so a minimum of two fecal samples should have been performed on adult dogs, along with 10% of the puppy population. The inspector spoke with the office of the Attending Veterinarian to confirm these details. Routine fecal testing is a diagnostic screening tool used to evaluate the presence of intestinal parasites in a kennel. Diagnosing intestinal parasites is important because they can be contagious between dogs and also transferred to humans, in addition to causing diarrhea, weight loss, and stress to dogs if they are present. Each dealer must follow the PVC as detailed by the Attending Veterinarian for the sampling and treatment of parasites in accordance with a schedule approved by the Attending Veterinarian. Correct by: February 15, 2025.

  • Medical records not retained

    The facility is not retaining copies of all medical records. The facility reports routine fecal testing was performed in April 2024, however, there are neither records of these tests nor the test results available for review at the time of inspection. This testing was confirmed with the office of the Attending Veterinarian. Retaining medical records is important so that adequate veterinary care for the dogs at the facility can be evaluated by APHIS officials. Correct by ensuring the facility

  • Puppy medical records not retained

    The licensee is not retaining copies of medical records for puppies after disposition. The licensee creates vaccine and de-worming records, however, once the puppy is sold, the document goes to the buyer and the information is not retained elsewhere at the facility. Not retaining information related to medical care for the puppies prohibits the APHIS inspector from ensuring the licensee is appropriately following the Program of Vet Care for vaccination and de-worming administration and also prohibits them from ensuring the licensee is providing adequate veterinary care to the puppies. Records are required to be kept and maintained for 1 year after an animal is disposed of (sold), unless there is express written consent by the Administrator. Correct by: August 1, 2025.
