USDA Inspections

USDA inspectors visit licensed dog breeders to check that their facilities meet federal Animal Welfare Act standards — housing, food and water, veterinary care, sanitation, and how the dogs are handled. Each visit produces a public report through the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). For citations, we've included the first sentence of the report.
