Chrissie J Gingerich – Clark, MO

January 5, 2022 — Re-license inspection, USDA 43-A-6484

103 dogs recorded (46 adults · 57 puppies).

• Two Yorkshire Terriers without ID

  Two Yorkshire Terriers did not have an ID on them. Failure to have official identification applied to each dog does not allow the inspectors to identify the dog and could interfere with the ability to connect medical records and other documentation to the individual dogs. The applicant must ensure all dogs have an ID.

• Outdoor enclosure frozen water bucket

  One of the outdoor enclosures with 3 dogs had a their only water bucket with a layer of ice on the top. When water was presented, the dogs took a quick lick. Lack of water could cause the dogs to become dehydrated or other health issues. Having water available at all times is important to the health of the dogs. The applicant must ensure all dogs have access to potable water at all times.

• Vet care program missing exams, rabies, prevention

  Although the applicant had the attending veterinarian recently do a hands on exam and rabies vaccination, these were not recorded in the program of veterinary care. Also missing from the program of vet care was the preventative care section. Failure to have these plans could have a negative impact on the health and well-being of the animals. The Program of Veterinary Care must include a frequency of hands on exam, rabies vaccination and appropriate plan of preventative care and treatment to maintain healthy and unmatted hair coats, properly trimmed toe nails, and healthy teeth, ears, eyes and skin. The applicant must add the missing plans to the Program of Veterinary Care in order to ensure the animals are receiving adequate veterinary care. This is a 1st Re-License Inspection for a Class A license.
