  • Several dogs not up to date on vaccines

    The facility is not following the Program of Vet Care (PVC) for vaccinations. Of the 12 adult dogs, 6 are not up to date on the three vaccinations required by the Animal Welfare Act (rabies, distemper, and parvovirus). The current Program of Vet Care prescribes for the vaccinations to be performed yearly, after completing their puppy series (which ends at 15 weeks of age). The following dog has no vaccine history recorded for any of the required vaccines: Male Poodle #4523 The following dogs did not complete their puppy series of distemper/parvovirus vaccinations: Female Golden Retriever “Chole (Blakeley)” #7962 Female Golden Retriever “Katie (Blossom)” #7964 The following dog is overdue on the distemper vaccine (the parvovirus and rabies vaccines are current): Female Bernese Mountain Dog “Francis” #7240 The following dog has no history of receiving the distemper vaccine (the parvovirus and rabies vaccines are current): Female Golden Retriever “Goldie/Amber” #9849 The following dog has no history of receiving the distemper or parvovirus vaccine: Female Golden Retriever “Lassie” #9876 Failure to follow the PVC for vaccinations leaves the dogs susceptible to diseases, which, if contracted, would cause pain, distress, and suffering. It is also important for breeding dogs to be vaccinated because they will pass immunity from vaccines onto their offspring. Correct by administering all of the vaccines required by the Animal Welfare Act (distemper, parvovirus, and rabies) in accordance with a schedule approved by the Attending Veterinarian and vaccine manufacturer recommendations. Correct By: January 5, 2025, onward.
