Clinvet USA – Waverly, NY

September 1, 2021 — Routine inspection, USDA 21-B-0208

45 dogs recorded (45 adults).

• Primary enclosures too small, circling dogs

  Several of the primary enclosures in building 3 are not large enough to meet the exercise space requirements based on the size of the dogs in the enclosure. To address this, the facility is providing the dogs an opportunity to exercise for 15 minutes during the day in the runs outside their primary enclosure. Multiple dogs were circling in a repetitive manner during the inspection process (id # 6615538 and id #Cly-9). Cly-9 was also noticeably overweight and her repetitive circling included an additional head circle as she rounded the enclosure. The current frequency and duration of exercise is not sufficient to reduce or mitigate these abnormal behavior patterns. An exercise plan needs to be developed to address these issues for the health and welfare of the dogs. Correct by: Sept 5, 2021

• Feces piled under enclosures

  In building 3, the pans underneath the primary enclosures contained feces and debris that are not being removed and are accumulating. This is causing a strong ammonia odor that permeates throughout the building that was notable upon entry. This excess feces must be removed and cleaned as often as necessary under these enclosures to prevent this accumulation and reduce odors in the building for the health of the animals.
