What inspectors wrote

September 5, 2024 — Routine inspection, USDA 23-A-0799

52 dogs recorded (36 adults · 16 puppies).

  • Female Shih Tzu with tartar buildup

    A female black and white Shih Tzu, date of birth 12/17/19 with ID tag number 009 had a health condition requiring diagnosis and treatment in consultation with the attending veterinarian. There was moderate buildup of hard brown material on the surface of the cheek teeth especially along the upper part of the teeth near the gum line. The gums did not appear red or swollen and the dog was in good body condition. The Program of Veterinary Care on file did not address the condition or provide any treatment options. The licensee had not observed the condition and had not contacted the attending veterinarian. The abnormal build-up of material on the teeth can cause damage to the gum tissue and tooth structures. This condition could be painful, may decrease the dog's ability to eat normally, and may result in spread of bacteria to other parts of the body such as liver and kidneys which can negatively impact the overall health of the animal. The licensee must communicate with the attending veterinarian to evaluate the dog and determine an appropriate plan for diagnosis and treatment. Correct by: September 12, 2024

  • No written contingency plan

    There was no written contingency plan on file at the facility. Failure to have a written contingency plan can result in lack of readiness for emergencies or disasters.

Correct by: August 21, 2025

  • No written exercise plan

    The facility was unable to locate the written exercise plan for dogs. The pens provide adequate space for exercise according to the regulations. A documented and approved exercise plan helps ensure that a dogs' space requirements and exercise needs have been considered and will be provided. The facility must develop, document, and follow an appropriate plan to provide dogs with the opportunity for exercise. In addition, the plan must be approved by the attending veterinarian. The plan must include written standard procedures to be followed in providing the opportunity for exercise. Correct by: August 21, 2025

  • Vaccines not documented

    The medical records for dogs were missing some information. The licensee was administering a five way vaccine containing distemper and parvovirus to adult dogs on an annual basis and a parvovirus vaccine to pregnant females prior to whelping but there were no records documenting this. Failure to document vaccines administered may result in failure to adhere to a vaccine schedule that protects the dogs from infectious diseases. Dealers must keep copies of medical records that document the names of all vaccines administered and the dates of administration. Correct by: From July 24, 2025 forward
