May 29, 2024 — Re-license inspection, USDA 73-A-2657

29 dogs recorded (24 adults · 5 puppies).

  • Official ID missing for three dogs

    Official ID was missing for three dogs that were recorded on the USDA form 7005. Records provide a source of information that can be used to identify every animal. Complete and accurate records are needed to ensure each animal's identity can be known with certainty and to facilitate the ability to trace all animals. The applicant shall make, keep, and maintain records or forms which fully and correctly disclose the following information concerning all dogs purchased or otherwise acquired, owned, held, leased, or otherwise in his or her possession or under his or her control, or which is transported, sold, euthanized, or otherwise disposed of.

  • Exercise program records missing for 24 dogs

    Documentation of the program of exercise for 24 dogs could not be found at time of inspection. Exercise is necessary for the physical health and well-being of the dogs. All dogs must be allowed exercise as outlined unless otherwise exempted by the attending veterinarian. The exercise plan must be approved by the attending veterinarian. The applicant must develop an exercise plan with the attending veterinarian that documents the frequency, method, and duration of exercise for each animal. It must address dogs being housed singly and in groups, methods, and period of providing exercise opportunity and exemptions. The applicant must develop, document, and follow an appropriate plan to provide dogs with the opportunity for exercise.

  • Incomplete vaccination and parasite plans

    The USDA Vet Care form 7002 A was incomplete. Under the vaccination schedule for 24 dogs, no plan when vaccinations would be given for Parvovirus, Distemper, Rabies, Leptospirosis, Hepatitis and Bordetella had been recorded. Under parasite control program, the applicant had recorded Nexguard, sprays and spray premise for fleas and ticks. A plan for sampling the number or percentage of dogs that would be tested for heartworms and fecal floats was not recorded. Heartworm and fecal float testing are done to ensure that there are no internal parasites. Giving annual rabies vaccinations are important because it is much easier to prevent this deadly disease. The applicant must ensure that all dogs are receiving vaccinations for contagious and/or deadly diseases of dogs (including rabies, parvovirus, and distemper) and there is sampling and treatment plan in place for parasites and other pests (including fleas, worms, coccidia, giardia, and heartworm) in accordance with a schedule approved by the attending veterinarian.

  • Preventive care plan vague for 24 dogs

    The USDA form 7002 A was incomplete. Under the preventive care and treatment care to be maintained for 24 dogs, it only states “every three months evaluate and what is necessary”. Care and treatment of the hair coat, nails, eyes, ears, skin, and teeth are necessary for the overall health of the dogs. Outlining what routine care will be provided is essential to the health and wellbeing of the dogs. When the program of vet care is missing information on how the applicant provides for the health and well-being of all dogs on the premise it is not considered to be adequate veterinary care. It also must include when the veterinarian will be consulted. The applicant must consult with the attending veterinarian to develop a preventative care and treatment plans to ensure healthy and unmatted hair coats, properly trimmed nails, and clean and healthy eyes, ears, skin, and teeth.
