No written dog exercise plan
The facility does not have a developed and documented Exercise Plan for Dogs. This plan is important because it outlines how the facility will provide for the opportunity for exercise of dogs while housed at the facility. The plan must account for dogs housed individually or in groups, and the standard procedures to be followed in providing the opportunity for exercise (frequency, method, and duration of exercise permitted). Correct by developing and documenting a written exercise plan for dogs, approved by the Attending Veterinarian, and made available to APHIS officials upon request. Correct by: July 15, 2026
Overdue fecal and heartworm tests
The facility is overdue for fecal and heartworm sampling. The Program of Vet Care states these tests should be performed on 10% of the adult dogs yearly. These tests were last performed in January 2025. Since some parasites can be passed from dog to dog, the routine fecal and heartworm sampling is a screening test for parasites and can help with early detection and treatment options. The facility must follow an approved fecal and heartworm testing schedule from the attending veterinarian. Correct by: July 15, 2026
